A Note To Self

A letter to myself and what I need to remember

9
A Note To Self
Shea Needham

I know you feel confused and unsure of what to do and I know you are stressed with school, but I wanted to tell you that it is going to be okay. You wake up every day and feel like you are living the same routine over and over again but it is time to change this and start looking for the opportunities that life will soon be handing you.

I know you see your friends catching feelings for people and you're beginning to notice more and more couples on campus, but always remember you do not need someone to make you happy. You can make yourself happy, you always have and you always will. You need to start loving yourself a little bit more every day because loving yourself is the most important thing possible.

Start remembering to tell your friends you love them every day. You often forget to show them you care and have recently been distant, make sure you change that because they deserve the very best and you know that.

Remember it's okay to ask for help because you are extremely stubborn and never ask, even when you severely need it.

Remember to embrace the way you look and embrace who you are because you do not need to live up to society's view in order to be considered 'perfect'.

Remember to leave the past in the past. There is a reason why it is in the past and start focusing more on the future. You have so much more ahead of you in life and dwelling on the past is pointless and useless.

Please never stop being yourself. You may be loud and very out going, but everyone is different and this is what makes you different. Your friends and family will always be there to support you and that's what is important.

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.

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.
