11 I have Poop Hands.

I know that I am pretty blessed.

I have wonderful parents who love me and who support me and my dreams. I am relatively healthy in that I don't have any problems or ailments that hinder me from doing everyday shenanigans.

I have great close friends whom I can rant to and overall, I am incredibly thankful to be blessed by God.

But there are those things, certain moments in life when I realize that I truly have the worst luck. In Korean, I am what you call a "똥손". The literal translation is "Poop Hands."

It is a term in which you would use to describe someone with just the worst luck. It is a way of saying that whatever that person does, it just doesn't work out. But it is usually associated with the small things in life.

Nothing that will shake up or influence the person's overall life or being, but you know just the everyday, small, petty stuff.

For example;

Always losing to rock, paper, scissors, when the loser has to clean up.

Always winning to rock, paper, scissors, when the winner has to clean up.

Falling in love with the perfect perfume that fits my personality (so much so that if I were to be made into a perfume, it would be that perfume) only to find that it is limited edition or is discontinued.

Washing my car on a sunny day, only to be rained on as soon as I get out of the car wash.

Walking into the high school orientation dressed in Nike shorts and a random T-shirt that I slept in, to find out that we have to take our school photo for the yearbook. And always getting a cold sore on school picture days.

Always losing the game when I know how to play. But somehow winning when I don't know what the heck is going on.

And the list goes on.

When these things happen, it doesn't make me feel depressed or sad. I just get flustered and think, "of course, these things would happen."

I just sort of accepted the fact that I have Poop Hands.

It makes me not care as much when these things occur to me.

Sort of like a defense mechanism.

Not putting the fault on anyone or anything but just admitting that I am a 똥손. Or that I have Poop Hands.
