This is a response to Here Are The Best Ways I've Found To Prioritize My Mental Health.

An outside view of what might be,

An inside look at what has gone.

It can be broken,

Nothing is set in stone.

The past has happened,

A wire of what

Has gone before.

But do not let

The bad weather,

Or glass that

Stands in the way

Stop you from doing your thing.

Eventually, it will crack open -

Freedom pours through

To a life lived without

Boundaries, do not

Let a window stop you.

Sure, look through it -

But don't just watch,

Get out there -

Go and do something

That makes you, you.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. 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.
