Nothing Cursed Us into a Perpetual Downward Spiral.

Breaking the inter-generational belief that we are doomed.

Part of trauma is a belief that things will not get better. That things are in this perpetual downward spiral.

You are bad, your existence will just get worse.

When so-and-so cheated, or got divorced, or got sick, it launched a downward spiral that everyone falls into.

There’s a hole, a vacancy, that can only grow. Every bad thing that happens is further proof of badness. Every good thing is just a coincidence, a temporary reprieve.

Do not be fooled by it. Do not enjoy.

Maybe it’s God’s wrath. Maybe it’s some bad curse that cannot be shaken.

But it’s something you know deep inside to be true.

You are bad, you are doomed.

Things will just continue in a downward spiral…forever.

It kind of hurts to think you’re not cursed.

What if there’s a world where you can reconcile, rebuild? Fall in love? Go on adventures? Trust? Do the thing you love? What if there’s a world where you are healthy? Where your hard work pays off? Where you can make money, and you’re not miserable?
