Pure luck? No, thats a friend of mine. All my luck is heavily slanted by skill. I worked for all of the shit I have.
It’s beyond annoying to have someone attribute skill/talent for luck. Those are two different things, yes, but still.
Like I’ve been in a bunch of crashes where I went flying several meters into the air while spinning. Barely broke a rib. Never hit my head. Lucky? Could say that. Ooooor the judo courses I took in my formative years at like 7-9 in which we literally practiced falling are paying off now that I’m a reckless drunk.
Also when you know something and someone’s like “how’d you guess that?”. I fucking didn’t. I analysed and came up with an answer.
And my own skill and hard work has made me good at crashing and solving randomly chaotic bullshit that no-one seems to have a grasp on.
Unfortunately my dad was a financial fuck up and mom didn’t care as much for us as herself and I got chronic health issues, so didn’t really make it financially and couldn’t manage to “make my own luck.”
Although a lot of the “bad luck” I had was prejudice and “system mistakes.”

What I mean is that my own skill and hard work has opened up lucky opportunities.
