Big Big Question is a Josh Millard project.
When I’m feeling any kind of loss (or suspect one), I won’t listen to any songs about saying goodbye.
If I know I’m going to a cemetery, I wear a necklace made of black obsidian because (according to lore) it wards off the undead.
I say ten Hail Marys when I’m on board a plane during take-off. Mind you, I have no real idea why because I’m an atheist who’s not especially afraid of flying.
I also tend to be generally wary of taking too much notice of the fact that things are going very well when they are, or saying anything too “gloaty” or complacent, even silently in my head, if I’m having a really good day or run of good luck — it’s just begging the cosmos to take you down a peg, usually in a highly nasty way.
