The Curse of Knowing
It had been 2,557 days since the last time I lit up a cigarette. It was the same day I gave up drinking. The day the man I loved proposed. The day I finally confessed to him my secret. Now, seven years later, I stood outside the chapel, taking a break from the chaos of being the Maid of Honor. The crisp mountain air of winter in Colorado burned my lungs. I let the smoke release through my nose in one long, slow exhale."Well, isn't this an interesting sight," My brother-in-law Dave appeared next to me as I leaned on the railing.

Wikipedia defines karma as the "spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an inpidual (cause) influence the future of that inpidual (effect). Good intent and good deeds contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deeds contribute to bad karma and future suffering."But this was something different. This was cause and effect from myself directed at someone else. When I think back, it's always been there. But as timwww.onedoor.cce went on, I was able to hone it...
