good luck

It has been a strange couple of days. I was approved for my student loans and found an apartment, then was denied my loans and am trying to break my lease without losing my deposit and first months rent. I went to a cabin with some friends to relax (much better then the tent) then came home and had a disturbing conversation about "dating other people". Felt a bit lonely so went online to view some personals- one creepy guy wrote back and another said, "good luck." Good luck? Well allow me to say a little something about luck. It's bullshit. There is no such thing as luck is there? You plan as much as you can, you're careful and then things still don't work out. OR you throw life to the wind and fly and guess what? Same thing, things still don't work out. So what is there to do? You just hold onto your values, live by them try to have integrity and keep your wits about you. This is much harder to do then one would think. So what is luck? It is something you say to make others feel better or it is something we tell ourselves when on the off chance something goes our way and we just can't explain and/or believe it. So...yes, good luck to me.
