I curse

I curse. There, I said it. I curse and I'm sure so do you.

Why you might ask? well, many reasons for that.

I curse because sometimes it eases my frustrations. I'm sure you will understand where I'm coming from. If you have a house and all that comes with it, you curse.

The everyday things will make anybody curse.

Driving to work and having to share the road with people who I wonder how in the world they managed to get their driver license. I try not to but don't succeed, so, sometimes I curse.

Having to deal with the 8 Hrs. of work Monday through Friday, going back and forth just to keep the money coming in, because if I don't then I'm fucked. I'm sure a lot of you out there are cursing right now.

Having to deal with people who I practically have to hold their hands and help them bring the spoon to their mouths so they can eat because they are so damn useless, makes me curse. (not referring to people with real disabilities, God bless them.)

Having to let go of a bunch of my hard earned money to pay for all the goodies I like to have, also makes me curse. Yes the stuff is nice, but damn! it is expensive.

I curse, I'm sure daily. Even though I try not to, there's always something that will make me curse.

It is so simple to do and I find it relaxing, don't say it isn't!

But the most important reason as to why I curse, is the simplest of them all. 

CURSE WORDS ARE PART OF THE ENGLISH VOCABULARY!!!  which I particularly love.

Yes, I love English . Why you might ask?

It comes from way back. Being born a non American Citizen, I grew up speaking a different language and one of my all time desires was to learn to speak English.

I remember listening to the kids of some of my relatives speaking English when they would visit, and I would be in awe of how they could speak both languages and I couldn't. It was then when I decided I was going to learn to speak English, of curse moving to the USA helped a great deal, but living here is not a guarantee that a person will learn the language. I have a friend who has lived here for over 40 years and she still needs a translator, she never learned it. Why? many reasons, but my theory is that she never learned to love the language.

I could say that I've accomplished that but I'd be lying, because I'm a long way away from being 100% fluent. Yes, I can read it, I can speak it and as you can see here, I can also write it, and damn have I cursed as I've made my way through the English language. If you must know, it is hard to learn and hard to speak.

I still remember the day I realized that I understood what the woman broadcasting the news on TV was saying. Man! that felt good! (I don't think I cursed at that time, and if I did, it was probably not in English)

I don't find curse words offensive; what's offensive is the meaning we give to them because, lets get real, for instance:

'fuck'

many people will say that is one of the most offensive words out there, and probably one of the most wildly used curse word combined with other words which are as sweet as you mother. But that word is as bad as insult as it is as good as the reason we are here... just ask your parents. Sorry for the mental image, fuck, I might have ruined your day by now! But the reality is we all like to, well...

I've embraced the bad words in such way, that you'll be able to find a few in my stories. No, I don't curse like a sailor, so don't be alarmed. Even after all that cursing I'll say I'm a pretty decent person and can talk without using them... at times.

No, I'm not professionally trained when it comes to English. I have no English major, so anything that I dare to write here comes out of pure love for the language, and Lord have I learned! I'm proud of what I know and what I manage to learn every day.

I'm not going to go any further into other words that are just as used as the one above, because the list is looong, as you must know.

So there, I won't accuse you of not loving the language if you don't curse, because that's a choice, but you probably won't go to hell because you do it.

Any who... do you curse? If you do that's OK, you are just simply embracing part of the English vocabulary, just don't tell that to your kids until they turn 18.

In the meantime, I hope you also read.
