I try a lot not to see myself as someone who is superstitious, but sometimes certain things happen one too many times that just makes you become a believer.
The other day, I had overheard two of my neighbours talking about sport betting and apparently, one of them had played a game and was telling the other one about it. But when the other person had asked him to share the game with him so he too could place a bet on it, the first guy had refused, explaining that he has this belief that whenever he shares his games, he ends up losing it.
Of course the other person felt what he said was rubbish and tried convincing on how something like that wasn't possible, but you see, it shouldn't surprise you when I tell you that I sometimes do feel that exact same way.
As a matter of fact, I think I've experienced it one too many times in the past. You see, I've come to notice that whenever I tell my friends about my plans, to either travel to somewhere or move to somewhere, something just ends up not working right, or I end up finding reasons why I shouldn't make that trip.
The bottom line is that when it eventually gets to the date I'm supposed to travel, I end up not travelling for one reason or the other. It could be a very good reason or a dumb one, it doesn't matter, I just know that I end up not going anywhere.
So now I've made it a priority to always keep my mouth shut. The only downside to that is that I have people really close to me who I know would get really offended if they found out I travelled without informing them, and won't be back for some couple of months.
But then I guess it's the price I have to pay for believing in such superstition.
