are some days just bad days

if you’re a human like me,
you’ve definitely had bad days before.

but when “bad days” strike on days when you
need to perform to a certain level that is expected,
what can you do to mitigate the effects of the curse?

i like to just pretend it doesn’t exist,
but the thing with superstitions is that they pervade
the conscious realm and kinda seep around in the
beneath-layer of your mind… its imperceptibility
is exactly what makes it take the form of a curse.

powering through it is really all i can do, i’ve found.
but most people cope with it by reminding themselves
that everybody has bad days. which is true. but man,
does it suck to have it happen to you.

i like to remember a quote from animal crossing
when thinking about bad days in general.

“And remember that bad times…
are just times that are bad."
-Katrina, Fortune Teller
