My Series Of Unfortunate Circumstances

Do you believe in jinxes, curses, bad luck? I didn't. Then life started to take a turn for the worse. OK, I won't exactly say I firmly believe in any of those things but I do know the series of unfortunate circumstances that have been part of my life for over ten years now. Some people believe in fate. Some, that we make our own luck. I would challenge those people to live the life I've lived these past, say sixteen years & see how they feel about what they CHOSE to believe then! Not saying that I have it worse than the poor starving person in the Third World Country, or than man with one arm or no legs. I really don't think it works to compare our misfortunes in that way. I'm living MY LIFE, & these are the things that I have to deal with, as best I can. If they hurt me, then that's a fact no one can make less of by comparing mine with someone else's misery. What I'm saying is that the way I thought life was when I was a precocious little singing & all-around creative kid dreaming of bright lights & big city even back then, and the life that I now live - oh so different! Years between in Toronto,now they offered a whole lot of surprises and interesting occurrences. Ten years of good luck; ten years of BAD? What lies ahead now then? When will the tide turn? Will it turn?
