The 5 Stages Of Netflix Binge Grief

Get way to into a show on Netflix and it's over? Trust me, I've had that happen to me many a time.

As you watch a show, a really good one at that, you can't help but to watch multiple episodes at a time. Well, I wanna know what happens next! you obviously interject. To tell you the truth, that's my response as well but what happens afterwards? There's gotta be an end here somewhere. It's not like they have a new episode out everyday (I wish). So, what happens? In an extreme hypothetical sense, it's like a friend dying and when more episodes come out, it's like they have been resuscitated. I know, I know, that analogy is a bit extreme but it's how I feel about the shows.

I feel like the shows keep me entertained, intrigued and determined. I want to know more of their story. Their backgrounds, why is everything exactly going on. And by cutting it off, thus begins the cycle of grief.

1. Denial

Now, wait a minute, that couldn'thave been it. There's no way that "The Vampire Diaries" ended like that. There just has to be more to it!

I know, we've all been through this. There is no possible way that show is over. There has to be more but, sadly, there just isn't. *insert sad face here*

2. Anger

I WANT IT BACK NOW AND I WILL WRITE THE PRODUCERS, THE WRITERS, THE ACTORS AND ANYONE ELSE INVOLVED!!

Rage. Pure rage. Much anger.

3. Bargaining

Can you bring it back please? Pretty please? I'll give you anything just to see Ian Somerhalder shirtless again... anything.

I'm sorry to let you know but giving up anything just for it to come back won't change a thing. I wish it worked like that but it sadly doesn't.

4. Depression

How will I go on with my life without this show? It was so meaningful to me and I grew up with it. Nothing can replace that show.

You think that life won't go on without the show it your life. That show became your lifesource and now you have to just give it up. It's hard to just do this but it has to be done. (This scene always gave me the creeps on Spongebob, anyone else feelin' me?)

5. Acceptance

Well, so much for trying. It was an amazing show while it lasted. I especially liked the part when they---

You thought I was going to spoil it for you, didn't you? For shame, friend! I'd never do that to you. If you want to know what happens, I'll let you find that out on your own. (If you want to get just as obsessed as I did, link is right here. You do need an account to watch it, just to let you know!)

Typically, for me, the reason I can move on so quickly is because I've found a new show that is equally as good.

Did you find this to be relatable? I sure as heck even related to myself on a few here and just kept nodding my head as I wrote it, tbh! Hopefully you enjoyed this one because this was definitely a fun one to write! Have a good week and I'll see ya in the next one, toodles!

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.

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.
