Hi everyone, my name is Maggie! Today, I wanted to share my superstitions with you!
"WOAH MAN WHAT WAS THAT?!"
Can I sleep in your room tonight please mom!!
Did they fake this one?
If you have your feet on the ground when we go over the tracks, you'll be cursed forever!
Do you guys want some food, I'm sorry if you can't eat anything!
Maggie, who are you talking to?
Oh man, I can't do the laundry today, I'll have to wait a few days!
I'm so tired, I'm gonna go to bed!
Boo?
BOO
Thank you so much for reading about my superstitions! If you would like, tweet your own with me in the replies!
I hope you enjoy learning about the things I have believed in throughout my life!
When I was little, I used to watch ghost shows with my mom, and while she didn't always believe them, I definitely did. I got scared a lot and grew a big fear of the dark and what could be in it!
My older brother didn't believe in anything like I did, so he used to pull pranks on me, which only made me more superstitious! Some things I still do today, like picking my feet up when going over railroad tracks! One really mean prank he did when I was little, was when he told me that if I breath near a graveyard, the ghosts would haunt me!
I have never been one for superstitions like crossing a black cat or breaking a mirror, but I grew up fearing accidentally disrespecting the dead. I would try to talk to them to try and reason with them, offer them food, and apologize to them.
If I wanted something to come true, or keep something from happening, I used to knock on wood. Any wood I could find -even a pencil- would suffice. Small things like that, or throwing salt over your shoulder, made me feel safer.
The older I have gotten, the less superstitious I have become. I no longer fear ghosts and demons (though I still have the habit of respecting them). Most of my superstitious habits are now about general luck, like not washing your laundry on the first day of the new year.
Sometimes I still have that feeling in the back of my mind that there may be a ghost in the room, but I longer get afraid of it, instead I brush off that feeling and move along!
Overall, there are things I still believe in, but I don't let them run my life anymore! If you feel overwhelmed or anxious about your own superstitions, just remember to take a deep breath, and try to find the logic within the real world!
