Do I just avoid getting hurt by luck?

[Anonymous]

On Saturday I was celebrating a camping party. Besides the drinks, it involved taking turns chopping a tree and whoever knock it down was the winner.

At some point I went to the (walking sloppy by then) bathroom. Upon coming back, the tree had already been knocked down. It happened exactly when I was in the bathroom and it almost hit someone. The branches slightly scratched the person as he took a step back on time when others informed him, barely missing him. Otherwise he would've been seriously injured or die.

Another detail is the person that almost got hit was next to the winner (my friend). So he was right where it was suppose to be my spot. It's like things happen for a reason. Was that luck? I avoided what was meant for me.

Woah girl, that's intense! Definitely sounds like you dodged a serious bullet there.

I believe stuff like that is more than just luck. When something bad almost happens but doesn't, I think it's the universe or your guardian angels or whatever watching out for you. Like it just wasn't your time to get hurt.

I'd say take it as a sign that you were meant to avoid that accident. You were probably in the bathroom at exactly the right moment to miss getting crushed by that tree branch! Pretty crazy to think about.

Next time you see your friend who almost got hit, you might wanna buy them a lottery ticket or something. They had some good luck looking out for them too!

Just be thankful you're both okay. Maybe this was a lesson to be more careful around heavy stuff like trees too. But don't stress too much - you're alive and well, so just count your blessings! Weird synchronicities happen sometimes.

Sounds like pure luck.

Making me use the bathroom a lot is the only single good thing Four Loko did.

Thank you. That was my first camping event. I've never gone camping before and I'm 36.
