Pure Luck

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. John Lennon

How many people do you know, by the time they’re twenty three, have:

1. Had nine eye surgeries.
2. Had four other unpronounceable surgeries.
3. Been ran over by a pioneer handcart.
4. Been sliced by a nail hanging out of a pioneer handcart.
5. Fallen out of a pioneer handcart.
6. Survived three potential deadly car accidents.
7. Been stuck in an elevator twice.
8. Endured a wacko stalker.
9. Been through two car chases.
10. Been bit by three poisons spiders and lived to tell the tale.
11. Was baby-sitting when someone broke in.
12. Managed to escape the company of a literal paranoid, schizophrenic, psychopath without getting shot or stabbed, though the possibility was high.
13. Had a hippy jump on the hood of their car at a stop light like Spider Man.
14. Had a curse put on them, twice.
15. Has had four broken bones.
16. Has had five different sprains.
17. Been stuck in the middle of nowhere.
18. Been stuck in an MRI machine.

And that’s just a few examples.

They say I have bad luck. Maybe it’s good luck though…surviving all of that.
