R.M. Drake once said, ~It's a gift and a curse - you meet someone. You fall in love with them. Create beautiful memories, and in the end, all you’re left with is an empty heart, and sometimes you heal and get over it. While other times…you just don’t.~ Without a doubt, it can most definitely feel like you’ve been cursed to experience a life of sadness and utter heartbreak in regard to matters of the heart relating to love/true love. For the most part, it’s a type of existence in which it’s quite possibly a fate worse than death. For it’s a thought provoking situation indeed the concept of being cursed in one’s own heart and how a person can be mentally and emotionally affected in such a way it ended up causing their outlook of a potentially strong, worthwhile relationship to be viewed with such a dark uncertainty.
If you think about it, for some people they sometimes feel as if they’ve been experiencing a supernatural-like curse in which they’ve seemingly been trapped in a painfully endless cycle/loop of having their heart constantly broken. I think it’s safe to say when you’re living the single life it can certainly leave anyone with a seemingly empty feeling inside as if you’re cursed to be forever isolated within and tormented by your own thoughts, feelings, and/or emotions always haunting you to the point where you all can do is simply express a smile on your face. However, the smile on your face is not one of happiness as it is more of a defense mechanism to mask the inner struggle of not only dealing with, but trying to resolve painful past traumas, especially if it involved an unfortunately bad dating relationship.
As I said before, when you’re living the single life it can certainly leave anyone with a seemingly empty feeling inside as if you’re cursed to be forever isolated within and tormented/haunted by your own thoughts, feelings, and/or emotions to the point where all you can do is simply express a smile on your face. Thinking about it further, the smile being expressed is oftentimes a defense mechanism on the outside to hide what you’re possibly going through involving the following emotions on the inside: anger, fear, hatred, embarrassment, disgust, shame, dread, anxiety, doubt, worry, insecurity, sadness, frustration, bitterness, disappointment, utter contempt, etc. For the most part, it’s a smile in which you're doing your best in keeping yourself together knowing full well that if you stopped smiling the floodgate of tears start flowing.
For the question can be asked to those who have felt their own heart has been cursed, how long have you been trying to break free from it so you’ll be able to finally express a genuine smile? Essentially, it’s a smile representing the gradual healing from the painful scars of the curse because a number of important aspects/values like trust, faith, integrity, honor, patience, respect, honesty, loyalty, understanding, communication, commitment, etc. were restored. Hey, it may be difficult at first but the relief you’ll feel afterwards enjoying the freedom you’re most deserving of is absolutely worth it. What it primarily comes down to is focusing on taking positive steps forward instead of self sabotaging yourself by going backwards thus breaking the curse of dark negativity that spreads throughout with a purpose in a mental/emotional way.
Paulo Coelho said, ~Love is, after all, a curse of suffering.~ In retrospect, the curse of love is always known as a double-edged sword. Why? Of course, it’s the complicated duality of it all because on one hand it’s considered a wonderful blessing that brings tremendous amounts of immense joy while on the other it leaves you fearful because of how it leaves you damaged, vulnerable and utterly exposed. Yet, it’s that same complicated duality you’d gladly suffer through when you meet someone who won’t be able to somehow magically remove the curse from one’s heart because the only individual who can do it is you. In the end, I tip my hat you’re lucky enough to meet and be with someone who’ll stay by your side and suffer alongside you until it's gone rather than being abandoned by him/her with a it’s not my curse to bear type of mindset.
