02/12/2022

There are 2 types of people who believe in luck: the stable and the fleeting. They are people who see everything as lucky or unlucky and people who think there are ups and downs to their luck. No matter where you belong, there are times that we all feel like luck has moved past us. And that’s why we end up with truly unexpected and upsetting situations that we don’t know whether we should laugh or cry about.
Bright Side knows that sometimes life serves up some unlucky moments, but we also remember that they don’t mean the end of the world.
