Luck and Lack of It

The last time I wrote something about a movie (in my old blog that no longer exists) was upon seeing Half Light. The characters of that movie really struck me. Now, this new musing is triggered by the movie Just My Luck starring Lindsay Lohan which we saw last Monday.

This is not really about that movie. Rather, it is more about the idea of LUCK just hanging around the corner. I will not go into details, but I'd say it was one of those lucky moments of bumping into someone the second time around for two days in a row. It was just amazing.

I've never been reminded that I could see much from another person's eyes. They really told a lot. More so, I'd never expected I'd be caught one day in a complicated situation such as this. But that's life. You got your so-called luck, and then you have to eventually face the reality. There's really truth to that situation where a person "runs out of luck". But luck wouldn't be luck if it were always there. There's luck because it only comes once in a while.

For one week that we were together, this person has already been special to me. But I don't know where this is going. I want to just hold on to my feelings, to just seize the moment, and never really care about the consequences. Luck is out of the question. It's something deeper than that. But one thing I've realized, luck is neither luck nor lack of it. It's the decisions we make and the roads we take that define our luck.

I'm still confused. This is because this person already means a lot to me.
