Though I May

"For every sad thing you think of, you should think of three happy things to chase it away." -Zoe Sugg

Though I May
Tumblr

There are lots of things I may be. There are lots of things that can counter these "may be's" as well. Everyone has things about themselves that they're not particularly happy with. But, instead of focusing on the bad, focus on the good. Focus on the things you can do, and do well. Focusing on the negative aspects of yourself will get you nowhere. It's better to think about the positive aspects about yourself. So here are mine:

Though I may be bad at math, I'm excellent at English.

Though I may be shy, I have a great heart.

Though I may be young, I have an old soul.

Though I may get anxious a lot, I still try to stay happy.

Though I may have bad days, I still have the people that love me.

Though I may get bored easily, I'll always have books to read.

Though I may be a slow worker, I want what to take my time on what I do and have it be perfect.

Though I may think less of myself some days, the people I love think the world of me.

Though I may not always have the most money, I'd rather be happy.

Though I may think I can't, I can do anything I set my mind to.

Though I may not think I'm beautiful every day, my boyfriend thinks I am every day.

Though I may have one bad day, there are 1,000 more good days.

Though I may be a nerd, I'm happy with who I am.

Though I may fail a test, I'm still smart.

Though I may rewatch FRIENDS, it never gets old.

Though I may cry easily, it's only because I care.

Though I may have a lot of thoughts and feelings, I can always write them down.

Though my life may get tough, I can always enjoy nature.

Though I may think I have problems, mine mean nothing in the big scheme of things.

Though I may make a mistake, I'm only human.

Though I may rewatch, reread, and replay tv shows, movies, books, and video games, I always learn new things from them.

Though it may seem tough right now, I have my whole life ahead of me.

So, everytime you think of one bad thing, don't put yourself down. Think of the counter to your point. Think of another thing you know you are instead of what you may be.

Because though you may think you're not good enough, there are other people that think the opposite.

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.

beer on the beach

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.
