I totally believe in superstitions! When I was a kid, my mom always lit candles before big events, claiming they brought good energy. One time, before my first soccer match, she lit a special one and I scored the winning goal. It felt magical.

Honestly, I think superstitions are just silly. Like, I've walked under ladders and opened umbrellas indoors plenty of times, and nothing bad has ever happened.

I'm not sure where I stand on superstitions. Sometimes I think they're just harmless fun, like when my friends and I won't let a black cat cross our path, but then again, I don't want to take any chances, you know? I guess I just have mixed feelings because it doesn't hurt to be cautious, but I don't want to live in fear either.
