I Always Come Back

Being in love does not always mean a happy ending.

34
I Always Come Back
Esther-Irene Egan

“Why do I keep coming back?” My strong words hold no meaning because no matter what, I come back. I always do. I always will. Friends and family won’t understand it. The gods have played a foul game with us. What did we ever do to sway their eyes on us? Are we villains who’ll never get their happy ending? Did we anger them by our happiness?

“You’re so addictive that it hurts.” I can’t keep away from you. Your body pressed into mine is the only thought that crosses my mind as my fingers frantically find release on my clit. Breath hitches in my throat pretending it’s your hands stopping the flow of air. You weren’t the one who took my virginity but why are we being punished as if it were? The gods have a twisted sense of humor, I suppose.

“I’ve played all my cards, and that’s what you’ve done too.” I gave this relationship all I had to offer. My walls run deep into my childhood and my strength to fight for us came from you. I understand you, because I understand myself. We are more similar than you give us credit for. We are both flawed in the emotions department but we had each other. We taught one another to love. Yet, that means nothing to you. You whisper broken promises on honey filled lies. “Nothing more to say, no more ace to play.”

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
