A Love Letter To Myself

For the most important person in your life: YOU.

A Love Letter To Myself
Joy Served Warm

Dear Self,

I want to start off by telling you how much I absolutely adore you, because I never say it enough. Sometimes I forget. I forget how important you are, how much you do for me, how much I need you. Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I don't like what I see. Sometimes I cry because I start to pick apart every little piece of you and I just wonder to myself why I got stuck with you. Sometimes all I can see is your flaws. I far too often tear you down instead of building you up. I'm mean to you. I belittle you. And worst of all, I doubt you.

And I'm so sorry for that. I'm sorry that I forget how special you are. I'm sorry I forget to treat you with the love and respect I have for so many other people. No matter what happens, it's always going to be me and you. Together forever. And nothing makes me happier.

Because you are so unique. There is literally nobody else in this whole wide world who will ever be just like you. Your beauty is radiant, inside and out. You have people in your life that love you, and that is never going to change. I hope that when you start feeling down, this little reminder can bring you back up. Always remember, I love you.

XOXO,

Me

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.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.
