Hereās a secret
Me and my cousins have always been afraid of 19. My uncle died at 19. My cousin got into a really bad car-wreck at 19. We always secretly thought it was a curse. Mostly for the boys. They werenāt safe at this age. Me and one of my cousins talked about it only once. I think it was after my brother turned 20. She said āHonestly I was worried about him.ā I think thatās why when I finally turned 19 this year I was so scared. It wasnāt only me and my brother who believed there was something wrong with the number, and curses donāt pick and choose so even though I was a girl I wasnāt safe. I always thought if something were to happen, itās be physical. Iād die, break a bone, get raped. Something like that. Something you could see. But nothing like that has happened(knock on wood), Iām 9 months in and all thatās happened is Iāve gotten my gallbladder out. But actually, 19 has probably been the worst year. 2015 has probably been the worst year, from the second January came up. I wasnāt even 19 yet. I donāt think me and my cousins thought the curse would bring something mental. Iāve broken up with my boyfriend(now ex) so many times that at this point heās done with me. Iām so fucked up I canāt even be with my soulmate. Iāve had too many suicidal thoughts Iām surprised Iām not dead. Too many cuts, too many insults from me to myself. I donāt know if itās the curse. If there is a curse. But this year has been the peak of my unstable mind. Itās definitely been bad before but this year definitely tops any other. I donāt know if I believe in curses, I donāt know if I believe in this one, because for the most part my cousins have been fine...but only physically. I donāt know about mentally. Because thatās something you canāt touch. Thatās something you can hide. I donāt know what the point of this post is. I donāt have any inspirational message for you. Guess I just needed to get that āsecretā out. Iām going through something I canāt explain, and I have no idea why Iām going through it. Curse or not itās happening. I can only hope that as soon as midnight strikes on the first of January, the first of the new year that everything will be okay. That maybe when 19 is over and I hit 20, things will actually get better. Not that magic has ever done anyone any good.Ā
