Strong Love, Poor Timing

Life doesn't stop for anybody

Strong Love, Poor Timing

From the very start, we knew what we were getting ourselves into. It was never like the timing was good and then eventually turned bad, for us timing was never perfect. But it felt somewhat like a risk, and that's what made it exciting. That's why I loved harder than I ever have. I guess you can say you were my drug. I fell hard and got addicted quickly. It felt so right but so wrong all at the same time.

Unfortunately, we can’t control when people will enter our lives. Some enter at times when they’re well needed and others enter at the worst times.

With you though, it was a mix of both.

You entered my life at a time when I needed you the most but oddly enough, it was also a horrible time for us. And we always knew that.

It almost seemed as if it was never right.

But let me tell you one thing, I give us a whole lot of credit because we fought like hell to make it work. Each and everyday we tried harder and harder because the happiness we felt with each other was so easy to cling onto. When something feels so real, it makes it that much harder to let go of.

The thing with bad timing is that you pretend it doesn’t exist for awhile. You like to ignore the fact that it's there, with that small hope that maybe soon our timing will come. We did that and we tried. But timing was not in our favor, it actually became worse.

I don’t know why you came into my life when you did. Maybe it doesn’t make sense now but it will later, or maybe it will never make sense. All I know is that bad timing or not, it was the best damn feeling in the world.

For now we choose to do the thing that haunts us both the most, let go. Let timing take it's course and see where we end up. Letting go of someone you love due to something you can't control, is a pain I wouldn't want anyone else to feel.

Maybe our time will come one day and all the reasons why it didn’t work now will eventually make sense to us.

I can only hope.

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.
