I'm lost in the middle of this curse. This wretched, life-altering curse. This is not what it was supposed to be like.

I was never told as a child it would be so hard. I can't grow close to anyone in fear of having to reject them, or more accurately, having them reject me.

I pretend to be nice, kind, and everything they want me to be. But I'm not. I'm so selfish that I have to be there.

I'm in the middle of this lonely path the curse had led me, but I can't see an end in sight.
