Many of these images combine a perplexing mixture of elements, both literally and stylistically. A simple look-through will reveal that many of these images appear to be shot “in the wild.” This has an interesting effect on the brain. Because these look like pictures captured by random people of chance encounters.

This creates an aura of mystery like we all might be able to come across any of the things depicted here and who knows what else while just going about one day. And sometimes it’s just the result of the brain “blessing” you with connections you draw between words, images, and experiences.

The specific combination “cursed” and “blessed” was inevitable, as both of these “categories” have existed since 2015 or 2016, though it can be hard to identify real “firsts” on the internet. While not yet attached to images, the term “blurted” goes back to an Urban Dictionary post from 2010, although more as just a description of a feeling than as a category of internet content.

The terminology of blessed and cursed, alongside “blursed,” is a reflection of the random nature of these images. In many cases, it’s simply the right place and time, or the right camera angle. While it’s pretty unlikely that a supernatural being or higher power took time out of its day to show someone these things, it’s nice to think that humans can apply positive emotions like this to random happenings during the day.
