My fiancé and I, or one of us has the WORST DAMN LUCK. I don’t know where to start so this is going to be jumbled..

I guess I can start with right before the flood of 2016. In South Louisiana, there was a catastrophic flood that hit in August with no warning. Long story short, my fiancé’s family lost everything. This was not only stressful because his family was now starting over, but because we were moving into our house. Had all of our boxes been in our house before our apartment lease was up like I had been aiming for, we would’ve been in the same situation and lost it all. Literally all of it.

Right before the flood, we bought a car. Before we made the first payment on it, it was stolen. Returned to us damaged and then while it was in the shop being repaired... it flooded.. So our families lost everything, our new house flooded, and we lost all of our vehicles. There were three others that we had that were our back ups that were lost as well.

Well, we got a new vehicle after the flood finally. A bad ass bright green Jeep Wrangler. Our hulk!

We loved this vehicle. Our vehicle before was super luxurious and fancy and we loved it. But the Jeep was so us because we have three dogs and we go camping!

In January, I was on my way to work when a teenager was texting and driving was turning left while I had a green light going forward. The scariest experience I’ve ever had was reacting so fast that I had both feet on the break (our cars were already so close) and I was showing myself up in my seat trying escape. my hand was on the horn the moment the air bag deployed and I bit my hand. I had a burn from the seatbelt locking and throwing me back in my seat. Had I not been wearing the seat belt, I would have for sure gone through my windshield. Our Hulk was totaled as was her vehicle.. I was in physical therapy for four months and went to a chiropractor for roughly two. My sacroiliac joint was impacted and I needed to have injections. We ended up not doing it because it was expensive and I found something that helped me months later. This wreck happened right before my fiancé proposed on our trip to Disney. Thankfully the ring was bought! It was the biggest headache not having a vehicle because my fiancé’s credit was shot from our car that flooded and then the Jeep. I finally got my credit to “good” and was okay with buying a vehicle in my name. My little Buick is comfortable and nice. I bought it a year to date that we bought our first car... bad juju? PROBABLY. At least I’ve had the Buick for seven months, surpassing having our Chrysler 300c for one, and our Jeep for four...

Yesterday, my fiancé was driving and as the words “it’s been almost a year since the wreck” came out of my mouth, a car decided to do the SAME SHIT. She was turning left into a drive way, and she would’ve made it had she not STOPPED before. I grabbed my fiancé and braced for impact.. all I could do was close my eyes and scream in my head “please god no”. It’s weird how calm I was this time. How I’ve been through this once and I wasn’t as scared that I was going to die, but I was prepared to shake up. We don’t know if our car is totaled yet. Hopefully it’s not. Thankfully I’m 21 and I’m able to get a rental this time 🙄

To top it off, we’re in the rental today and a car almost fucking hits us because they didn’t look when changing lanes. When does our luck get better? I cannot believe we were in another wreck. Why us? We’re nice people. We don’t do much and we damn sure don’t screw people over to deserve the shit life is throwing at us. Is it just us? Who else has shit luck? I just wanna feel better!
