This is my curse. It follows me everywhere I go, lurking in the shadows of my mind. It is a constant reminder of my past mistakes, my insecurities, and my fears. It weighs heavy on my soul, a burden I cannot seem to shake. At times, it feels like a dark cloud hanging over me, casting a shadow on every aspect of my life. It envelops me in its grip, suffocating any glimmers of hope or happiness that try to emerge.
5. And One More Thing.
Entire months have been lost, days have been added, entire calendars have fluctuated due to political maneuvers, religious mandates, a shift from lunar to solar, etc. These include, but are not limited to headache, increased caffeine dependence, uncertainty, stress, sleeplessness, elevated blood pressure, obsession, and speaking in tongues.
It envelops me in its grip, suffocating any glimmers of hope or happiness that try to emerge. It whispers in my ear, taunting me with its relentless negativity. My curse is a culmination of all my self-doubts and criticisms.
Events Calendar
Pagan Club is starting back up. Join us weekly on Thursdays for discussions on paganism and witchcraft, do some crafting, celebrate holidays, and more!
Pagan Club has been established to give students a chance to explore or learn more about a diverse and eclectic religion that is commonly misunderstood. We want to create a dialogue on campus to inform students about what Paganism is and is not, and to also talk with other pagans in a welcoming community.
Contact Greta at [email protected] for more information and to join via google meet.

1. Ancient Calendars Have Side Effects.
It magnifies every flaw, every perceived failure, and amplifies them to unreachable heights. It convinces me that I am not worthy of love, success, or happiness. It tells me that I am destined to repeat my past mistakes, that I am doomed to a life of misery. But amidst the darkness, there is a small voice, a flicker of light that refuses to be extinguished. It is the voice of resilience, of hope. It tells me that my curse does not define me, that I have the power to break free from its grasp. So I fight. I fight against the negative thoughts and the self-destructive patterns. I surround myself with positive influences and seek out the support of loved ones. I remind myself of my strengths and accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. It is a battle, a daily struggle to overcome the weight of my curse. But I refuse to let it consume me. I refuse to surrender to its darkness. I am determined to rewrite my narrative, to turn my curse into a catalyst for growth and self-discovery. This is my curse, but it will not define me. I will rise above it, stronger and more resilient than ever before. And in doing so, I will transform my curse into my greatest strength..

I found "This is my curse" to be a disappointing read. The plot was predictable and lacked originality. The characters were one-dimensional and I couldn't connect with any of them. The writing style felt repetitive and the dialogue felt forced. Overall, I was expecting more from this book and I wouldn't recommend it.

I really did not enjoy "This is my curse". The story dragged on and I found myself losing interest multiple times. The characters were unlikeable and their actions didn't make sense. The romance felt forced and unrealistic. The writing was mediocre at best and I found myself skimming through paragraphs to get to the end. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for an engaging and well-written story.

The romance felt forced and I couldn't invest in the relationship. I found myself skipping pages just to get through it. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
