My unlucky number is 8 according to Chiero’s numerology. Pseudoscience, I know. Not that I ever really believed in it; it’s just an idea I have entertained from time to time for heck’s sake. But now I find it useful as a make-believe crutch to lean on. Useful as a confirmation bias turned on its head if I do end up proving it to be true by my own tragic example. Number 8 is what I’m planning my “cowardly” exit around. This year is 2+0+2+4. I’m turning 3+5 this year. Six days after my birthday, the date adds up to the number 8. And if I get really clinical about the method, who knows, I might perhaps narrow it down to the hour, either am or pm. Too bad the birthday’s not in August, that would’ve been perfect.
A cute little drawing I’d been working on and off for a long time.

lol according to Chinese numerology/superstition, 8 is the luckiest # of all.
In Christian cultures, 6 or 666 is a very unlucky #. I can personally attest for 6 or 666 being a super unlucky # for me.
My line # in Basic Combat Training (military) was literally 666. Yes, I was literally the 666th person in my company of 667 trainees. And yes, it was hell -_-
and yes, I did ask for a different # and they rejected that request…
Well I guess the very fact they can’t decide what’s lucky and what’s not across cultures is evidence that it’s all bs in the end. In my case it’s not so much a superstition but an obsession with certain numbers like 2, 7, 11 and aversion toward 4 & 8. I know it doesn’t matter but it’s grown to become pathological. Even hurts my productivity as I tend to set parameters in the software I use at work to specific numbers when I could save time by assigning rough values.
Didn’t know you underwent military training and the irony is hard to miss now that you’ve got a handicap- not in combat but a frickin road accident. To think the kind of life some of us could’ve had. Always boils down to the same question- what could’ve been, what could’ve we been.
it’s fucked up how life is so unfair. i’m tired of this universe shitting on me, which is why i wind up on this site.
lol yes, i know it’s all something i used to call “stupidsticion” (superstition). I know it’s all bs myself too, but somehow, #6 and #666 has actually been unlucky for me…tho…there isn’t any # that actually is GOOD for me. might be that ALL #s are bad luck in my case then… -_-
well…if it helps, i also don’t like the #4 lol O_o
#4 and #6 are my unlucky #s.
hell, being born into this life was my unluckiness -_-
