When I was in grade 5, we read about superstition and how widespread it was in old Sweden. I wish school hadn't taught this because since then I've never walked under a ladder, spat 3 times over my shoulder if I saw a black cat cross the street, tapped myself on the shoulder 3 times if I accidentally stepped on a well cover with the letter A and so on. But most of all, I don't "jinx" things and ALWAYS have a plan B and even a plan C if something goes south.
This behavior is because I find it difficult to enjoy things because I'm afraid they will be taken away from me. I wish I could cut myself some 'slack' and enjoy myself more. I am well aware of my shortcomings and do everything I can not to transfer them to the world's most perfect teenager. My husband is indescribably amazing who has stood by my side for almost 30 years despite all my flaws. F***, I hope I didn't jinx it now...
