One Magical Necklace, Two Dreams.

How My Curse Became a Blessing

We weren’t in a dumpster.

To my surprise when I woke up, I was surrounded by old, dusty and weird objects around me. I never saw my parents happier than this day ever before.

My parents are archeologists. So, growing up I was the luckiest child anyone could think of. Travelling all the time, looking unique things, no academic drama and everything good you can think about for a child.

But, things turned upside-down when I turned 15.

I found a hard silver stone piece with a note beautifully scripted and buried underground in a swamp while my parents were busy researching about pyramid of Khufu. The note says —

This is a letter for the unfortunate. Whoever opens it first is now cursed with all bad luck happenings for next 23 years.

I was too stunned to speak and move. My parents laughed on reading the note and threw it away saying “It must be a joke, dear.” But, this one got under my skin.

The next few days went horrible.

While we were moving up on a pyramid, I stepped on a wrong path and ended up falling in dark coffin. It took straight 2 hours for my parents to find me.

I accidentally slipped on nothing in this world and broke a really expensive antique skeleton of an extinct small mammal in the museum.

And the worst of all, I found a really unique gem which estimated for 2 million dollars as my parents said. We got the money but after few weeks, certain claims said that it was fake. And with this, the reputation of my parents that they earned in decades was gone in a snap of seconds.

Hence, my parents sent me to my granny’s place for good.

I saw on T.V. that their reputation was slowly getting on track again after I left them. It made me happy but a bit sad about my misfortune at the same time.

My granny just couldn’t see me this sad. She handed me a necklace saying

this is the lucky generational necklace that our ancestors have been handing to us and now it’s yours. Now, only good things will happen to you.

I was hesitant in the beginning but just as it says, things were in my favour for the next few days.

Since, I have always been given tuitions for my studies, I was really hesitant for the first day in school.

But to my luck, everyone considered me cool and a fun person because I have been traveling my entire life. Also, because my parents were archeologists and it is rare, after all.

Not just this, I discovered my new talent of singing and got selected in the rock band as the lead singer. One after the other, we won auditions after audition. There was no one in our competition who can defeat us.

I had supportive friends, decent grades and an amazing rock band. Life seemed lit once again after months.

I was damn sure it was because of the generational necklace my granny gifted me. Every time, I saw her I just couldn’t help but give her the tightest hug as she was the reason behind all this.

Okay but these were all just the small yet grateful wins. The upcoming event was the biggest opportunity of my life.

It was a national musician band competition. If we win, this would be the biggest win of our life which would result us the rich and successful life.

On the day of competition, I was all set up and had a look at myself in the mirror. To my horror, I couldn’t find my necklace. The time was ticking, I saw it everywhere… in the washroom, in the dining hall, at prinicipal’s office. (I know, it doesn’t make sense that he would steal it but c’mon I was just frustrated guys 😭)

As always, Granny came to my rescue.

She broke me the biggest lie of my life. She said-

There’s no such thing as generational necklace. It was never the good luck charm for me, all the while it was my own mindset, emotions and beliefs that was making things easier for me.

But this time, things were getting worse and worse. When I saw a large crowd altogether without my necklace put on, I fainted on the stage.

It was not-so-pleasant to see the first, career- breaking defeat of my life, our unbeatable crew broke down to individual members once again. Since then, things were tough for me once again but I eventually learnt the lesson.

Anyways, now I am a renowned singer. I threw a party for one of the recent successes I made.

A waitress, in hurry, came to me and spilled the entire juice on me at the party. Yes, this was embarrassing but not until, I had a little chat with her. I took her in the room and to comfort her asked her random things.

She said she wanted to be a pole dancer. All these years in her life, she never won the audition but always kept trying. Now, when she was at the verge of giving up, I gave her the necklace I was wearing saying this was a lucky one.

And my dear fellows, we do not know whats up with her life right now. But we do know

Everything depends on our mind, the way we see things.

What might be hardly anything for us, could be very important for someone else. So, we should be very thankful for the resources we have right now and fulfill our dreams with an appealing smile and loads of positivity.

It is true that I am successful now, but when I look back, I realize how much I have learned over the years.

Thanks for reading.
