Curses

Dear Blog,

The other day I was talking to Brian, and the subject of curses came up. I mentioned how people are oft to say room 208 in our dorm is cursed. Immediately, he got upset. "I hate when people say that. There are so many blessings in this world, but people see one thing they deem a curse and are so quick to point to it."

Blog, I'm worried. When I was in 8th grade, I went up to the board in class and drew a tiny dot, and then asked everyone what they saw. They all said they saw a dot. When I made the radius of the dot bigger, they all said they saw a bigger dot. They were all so quick to ignore the white space surrounding it, the white space that virtually swallowed the tiny dot.

The teacher thought I was being stupid, but I don't care. Completely contradicting my 8th grade self (and Brian, for that matter) I still say I'm cursed, even though I'm equally blessed, if not more so.

Just something to think about,

P. I. Staker
