Julia often felt cursed, like she simply couldn't get her life in check. She had her first child at 19, and her second at 27, but after her divorce from her husband her kids simply stopped visiting. Furthermore, her parents had moved to Utah, and the last person she thought she could hold onto, her boyfriend, would die, leaving her all alone..

Julia pulled into the parking lot, turning off her car as she did so. It was hard for her, her boyfriend had died just 5 or so months prior, yet she still carried this guilt and grief. Regardless, she tried to be happy, tried to do her best day by day.. It wasn't easy, many of her coworkers were nice to her face, but very catty behind her back, she knew, but she tried a brave face day by day.
