I don’t believe in superstitions. However, I have a personal
superstition that simply can’t be ignore. It may sound ridiculous, but it truly
haunts me every time. It has haunted me ever since I noticed it in high school
and it continues to haunt me to this present day. This superstition is, the
curse of the overcast skies of doom. There’s something about overcast skies that
drains my energy, makes me feel miserable and gives me extremely bad luck. It
can be bad luck like waking up in the morning and having everything feel like
it’s trying to bother you, get in the way or find ways to make your life
difficult. An example of this can be waking up and starting your day cleaning
cat puke or simply brushing your teeth and the toothpaste falls off your brush
and onto the floor. Another example is going to college and forgetting your
assignment at home or being called on in class and you can’t help but studder
or find it difficult to speak accurately. Under the overcast skies of doom, there
are sometimes that the day can go from being difficult to becoming impossible
or even a complete disaster. There was one time I was taking a shower and all
of a sudden there was trickling water coming from the ceiling. I’m sure
everyone knows when the ceiling starts to urinate, your time is numbered before
your house becomes a swimming pool of procrastinated guilt. This lead to
driving around for supplies and doing a bunch of time consuming repair work. Nevertheless,
while driving around, I couldn’t help but to be reminded of the cursed blanket
of happiness absorbing clouds that foreshadowed suffering upon my insignificant
existence. Therefore, I devised a plan. Always be aware and cautious of overcasted
skies. When there’s overcasted skies, try to stay indoors. In conclusion, this
is a superstition that seems to only desire to bring me suffering, despair and
confusion whenever possible. It’s best to think of happy thoughts and try to look
for any blue areas in the sky for it could mean a difference in luck in my day.
If not, I try to ignore it or do what I can to survive the day. Nonetheless, it’
best avoid the curse of the overcast skies of doom.
I guess you can do that and just shelter yourself from everything on these types of days. OR you can call up a friend and talk with them, hang out, do something else.
ReplyDeleteIf I may, through my reading observations, it may be possible that the reasons you are having such unfavorable circumstances is because you just so happen allow it to. You most likely may disagree with me which is quite alright. When the sudden feeling that things will not turn out bright in such days are times for you to change the outcome. It might be a step in achieving self-improvements? Conquering said "superstitions"?
So my suggestion as a reader of your blogs and also a friend, I would suggest spending time with friends, taking a break from heavy work loads for a bit and relax, sleep maybe. Be productive, play a sport or something. Get some fresh air and let your mind breathe.
Remember, it only seems stronger because you unintentionally believe it is. You control your moods. And it is you who can change the outcomes, not cursed clouds.
Good luck!
