Love has been portrayed as a positive emotion throughout history in works of art, literature, music, and film. It is regarded as one of the most significant and potent human experiences and has been the theme of innumerable songs, poems, and stories. But some contend that the most perverse of all curses is love. We'll look at some of the reasons why love may be so difficult in this post, as well as some of the ways it can be a curse.
One of the main reasons why love can be so difficult is that it is unpredictable. People can fall in love with someone who is completely wrong for them, and they can't control or predict when or where they will meet someone who will capture their heart. This unpredictability can cause a lot of anxiety and stress, especially for people who are looking for a long-term relationship or who are hoping to settle down and start a family. It can also be frustrating when someone falls in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way or is already in a committed relationship.
Another reason why love can be a curse is that it can be all-consuming. When someone falls in love, they may find themselves thinking about the object of their affection constantly, to the point where they are unable to focus on anything else. This can be especially problematic if the other person doesn't feel the same way or is unavailable for a relationship. The intensity of these feelings can be overwhelming, and they can interfere with a person's ability to function normally in their daily life.
Love can also be a curse because it can make people do things that they wouldn't normally do. When someone is in love, they may be willing to make sacrifices, take risks, or compromise their values in order to be with the person they love. This can be especially dangerous if the other person is abusive or manipulative, as they may use the other person's love against them. In some cases, people may become obsessed with the person they love, to the point where they are willing to stalk or harm them.
Another way in which love can be a curse is that it can be fleeting. While some people are fortunate enough to find a lifelong partner, many people experience heartbreak and disappointment when their relationships end. This can be especially painful if someone has invested a lot of time and emotional energy into a relationship, only to have it end abruptly or painfully. The pain of a breakup can linger for months or even years, and it can be difficult to move on and find love again.
Finally, love can be a curse because it can be a source of conflict and division. People often fall in love with others who are different from them in some way, whether it's due to race, religion, culture, or politics. These differences can lead to misunderstandings, disagreements, and even hostility. In some cases, families may be torn apart because of a relationship, and people may lose friendships or social connections because of their love.
In conclusion, while love is often celebrated as one of the most beautiful and rewarding human experiences, it can also be a curse. Love can be unpredictable, all-consuming, and fleeting, and it can lead people to make sacrifices or take risks that they wouldn't normally take. It can also be a source of conflict and division, and it can cause intense emotional pain when relationships end. Despite these challenges, however, love remains an important and essential part of the human experience, and many people continue to seek it out and cherish it.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
