You’re not cursed.
And no, you’re not the only one going through this.
- You’ve studied hard.
- Got the degrees.
- Collected the certificates.
- You’ve sent out hundreds of applications.
- Updated your resume again and again.
Yet you wake up every day and check your emails before even brushing your teeth hoping for something.
But all you get is silence.
Or a “We regret to inform you…” response
And somehow people around you still think you’re not doing enough.
And now… even your family’s starting to look at you like you’re lazy.
They might not say it, but you can feel it.
Aunties at church whisper when you pass.
You avoid certain gatherings because you know the “So what do you do now?” question is coming.
And your friends with jobs slowly stop calling, because they don’t know what to say to you anymore.
But what they don’t know is…
You’ve already done the hardest part: You’ve been trying.
