Honestly, kid, I don't see anything in this description which would count as evidence against the hypothesis that this is a simple example of confirmation bias.
There's a saying which describes people like you: "young and invincible." There has been no need to coin the corresponding "old and invincible" saying which you would expect to exist. Ponder that.
Honestly, adult, I'm not admitting to actually believing in luck. Just saying that my actions make it seem like I do.
And of course there is no evidence against the confirmation bias hypothesis in my description... If normal unlucky stuff happened to me, and I could recognize it or other people could point it out to me, there would have been no description in the first place.
