Someone had to have put a curse on me. I refused to think so much bad luck was originally mine without external intervention.
Seriously, how could my skirt get ripped on my way to my final job interview at XX? I had thought nothing of the kid's agitated movements. I had simply blocked everything while repeating my speech on the train.
To think someone not even 8 years of age could be so detrimental to my future!
There was no time to buy a new skirt or anything for that matter. I had wasted so much time repeating my mantras in front of the mirror, I hadn't even had time to scarf down the humongous meal my mom had left for me.
Seriously, I was already 26 years of age and still living with my parents. I didn't have a job or a fiance like my sister kept on reminding me. I wasn't sure how much longer I could act like I was fine. I had never felt more like a failure like I did now clenching and unclenching my fists on the train headed to what could only be the most embarrassing interview ever.
To think I was headed to an architectural masterpiece, certain parts of which were featured in the list of Historic Monuments! I'd heard It was even open to the public for Heritage Days (a cultural event in Europe).
Like a fool, I hadn't even thought of bringing a change of clothes with me.

To be fair, how could I have predicted that my right thigh would be uncovered so!
I caught a man sneakily eyeing my leg. His sickening smile made me clench my teeth.
Let it go! It doesn't concern you! You've got more important things to think about!
I quickly rummaged around in my bag and got the list of positive affirmations I had painstakingly written down the night before in case I completely lost it.
Today will be a good day.
My day, uhh no this won't do. Let me read another.
I am in control of my life and feelings.
Liar, liar, pants on fire!
UGH!!!! No I'm not feeling it.
You know what let me just practice my breathing!
Inhale, 1, 2, 3 ,4, exhale. Inhale, 1, 2…
