I wake up every morning with a heavy heart and a sense of foreboding. It seems as if every step I take, every move I make, is plagued by a curse that I cannot escape. From the moment I open my eyes until I reluctantly close them at night, I am burdened by this invisible weight. I am cursed. Cursed with a perpetual sense of loneliness and despair that follows me like a shadow. No matter how hard I try to break free, it is always there, lurking, consuming my thoughts and engulfing my soul.

Witchy woman by the eagles
Eagles guitarist Bernie Leadon started writing this song when he was a member of The Flying Burrito Brothers. Once he joined the Eagles, he and Don Henley finished the song in Eagles fashion. It was one of the first songs Henley wrote.
Leadon and Henley wrote this about a number of women they had met. It is not meant to portray the woman as devilish, but as more of a seductress.
"Witchy Woman" was the group's second single, following "Take It Easy." It was part of their first album, which was produced by Glyn Johns, an Englishman who had previously worked with The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. They recorded it at Olympic Studios in London in just three weeks; the group became far less efficient over time - their 1979 album The Long Run took more than two years to make.
According to the liner notes for The Very Best of the Eagles, the song originated with guitarist Bernie Leadon playing a "strange, minor-key riff that sounded sort of like a Hollywood movie version of Indian music." The song's lyrics didn't develop until Henley went down with a flu and high fever while he was reading a book about Zelda Fitzgerald, wife of the author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Zelda had to deal with her husband's alcoholism and her own mental health issues; she ended up spending a lot of time in psychiatric hospitals. "I think that figured into the mix somehow - along with amorphous images of girls I had met at the Whisky [a Go Go] and the Troubadour," he recalled.
One of the girls who formed the "Witchy Woman" composite was the roommate of a girl Don Henley was dating in the early '70s. She practiced "white witchcraft," dabbling in the paranormal with good intentions. "I thought it was charming and seductive," Henley told Rolling Stone, "but I never took any of it seriously."
A few years later, Henley dated perhaps the most famous white witch of the era: Stevie Nicks.
Yet another influence Don Henley cites for the lyric is the author Carlos Castaneda, who at the time was studying at UCLA. Castaneda often wrote about enchantment and altered states of consciousness.

Don Henley’s Relationship With Stevie Nicks Didn’t Inspire the Eagles’ ‘Witchy Woman’
Stevie Nicks said she wished she was the "Witchy Woman" from the Eagles song, but Don Henley revealed the true inspiration behind the 1972 hit track.
by Grace Turney Published on April 6, 2023 Share: Share on Twitter:Stevie Nicks is known for her signature witchy style and dated several members of the Eagles, but she did not inspire their song “Witchy Woman.” Here’s what the Fleetwood Mac star said about wishing she was behind the Eagles track and who Don Henley said inspired the music.
Stevie Nicks | Rob Verhorst/Redferns
No matter how hard I try to break free, it is always there, lurking, consuming my thoughts and engulfing my soul. The feeling of being trapped, stifled, and isolated surrounds me like a suffocating fog. I see others around me, living their lives with ease and contentment, and I can't help but feel a pang of envy.
Stevie Nicks dated Don Henley and other members of the Eagles, but did not inspire ‘Witchy Woman’
Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks developed her signature witchy look of flowing black gowns and draping shawls, topped off with hats and a gold crescent moon necklace. She also dated several members of the Eagles, making her seem like the obvious inspiration behind their 1972 song “Witchy Woman.” But the Fleetwood Mac star had nothing to do with the track.
Nicks first dated the Eagles drummer and singer Don Henley. “Well, Don always treated me very special,” Nicks said during a 1980’s TV appearance (per Far Out Magazine). “He always kinda treated me like we were married, in that strange sorta way, he still does, whenever I see him.” The two singers considered marriage, but Nicks was devoted to her career. In 1979, the Fleetwood Mac star had an abortion after becoming pregnant by Henley. Years after their breakup, they released the duet “Leather and Lace.”
Nicks had an affair with Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood while dating Henley. She then fell hard for Joe Walsh, the Eagles singer and guitarist. In September 2007, she told the Telegraph that Walsh was her “great, great love.” Nicks also briefly dated the Eagles songwriter John David “JD” Souther.
But despite her witchy style and romantic history with the band, Nicks was not the inspiration behind “Witchy Woman,” in which Henley sang about a seductress with “raven hair and ruby lips” and “the moon in her eyes.”
Why am I the one cursed? What have I done to deserve this eternal torment? These questions haunt me as I struggle to find answers within myself. The curse has tainted every aspect of my life. My relationships are fraught with complications and misunderstandings. I push away those who care for me, fearing that they will be dragged down into the depths of my cursed existence. And yet, the loneliness that accompanies me is unbearable. The curse has also affected my career. No matter how hard I work, how many hours I put in, success eludes me. It feels as if the universe conspires against me, ensuring that every opportunity slips through my grasp, leaving me feeling worthless and defeated. But perhaps the most tragic aspect of this curse is the way it has eroded my sense of self. I no longer recognize the person I see in the mirror. There is a weariness in my eyes, a heaviness in my steps, that speaks of a soul slowly withering away. I am a shell of the person I once was, robbed of joy and vitality. Yet, in the depths of my despair, a flicker of hope remains. Perhaps this curse is not permanent. Perhaps, with time and resilience, I can break free from its grip. I refuse to let it define me. I will fight, I will claw my way out of this darkness, and emerge stronger on the other side. Until that day comes, I will continue to carry this curse as a burden upon my shoulders. It may weigh me down, but I will not be defeated. I will persevere, for I am stronger than this curse, and I will not let it consume me entirely..
Reviews for "Cursed by Time: Trapped in an Eternal Loop"
1. John - 2 out of 5 stars - "I am cursed" was a disappointment for me. The plot was weak and poorly executed. The characters lacked depth and development. There were numerous inconsistencies and plot holes throughout the story that left me feeling confused and frustrated. The writing style was also not engaging and failed to hold my interest. Overall, I found the book to be a letdown and would not recommend it.
2. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars - I regret picking up "I am cursed." The story was predictable and full of clichés. The protagonist was unlikable and made irrational decisions throughout the book. The pacing was uneven, with long stretches of nothing happening followed by rushed and unsatisfying conclusions. The dialogue also felt forced and unnatural. I was hoping for an engaging and thrilling read, but unfortunately, this book fell flat for me.
3. Emily - 2 out of 5 stars - "I am cursed" had an interesting concept, but the execution was lacking. The writing style was subpar, with inadequate descriptions and a lack of emotional depth. The characters felt one-dimensional and were difficult to connect with. The pacing was also slow, making it a struggle to stay engaged in the story. Overall, I found the book to be underwhelming and wished for more depth and complexity in both the plot and characters.
4. David - 2.5 out of 5 stars - I am divided on "I am cursed." While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell short. The pacing was off, with slow and repetitive sections that could have been condensed. The character development was minimal, and their motivations often felt contrived. However, I must admit that the atmospheric descriptions were well done, creating an eerie and mysterious setting. Unfortunately, the strengths of the book were overshadowed by the weaknesses, leading to a less than satisfying reading experience.
