To Those Who Feel Unlovable: STOP.
http://www.sebascelis.com

To those who feel unlovable,

Somebody brought you down so far that you can’t remember what it’s like to feel loved. Maybe it was a long-time lover, a one-night stand, or even yourself. You look in the mirror and see something that doesn’t deserve love, let alone will find it again through someone else or through self-love.

STOP. Realize that love isn’t something that everybody can give you, even though they should. Realize there are people out there that will make you feel so great and then so shitty during the span of days or months. You’ll be driven against their harsh words, but eventually you will give in and believe the words they say. STOP. Words are just words and you shouldn’t let a few letters ruin your day or life.

Ugly. Stupid. Loser. Fat. Anorexic. Gullible. These are all words somebody might have said to you. And in what justice do they have to say that? Can people prove half of what they say? No, so stop giving somebody the power do so.

You are beautiful. It doesn’t matter what others say or what you think. Beauty is such a stereotypical synonym for perfection today, and in that case, nobody is perfect anyways. Beauty is accepting your flaws as perfections and forgetting those who don’t do or believe the same.

STOP beating yourself up for some things you can’t fix about yourself. Your hair. Your face. Your brain. You were born this way. To those who couldn’t accept you as is, they weren’t your time in the first place. Find those who love you for you even if you have to go through a few flukes and mistakes

Love wasn’t meant to be easy and it shouldn’t be. If it drags you through hell and back, show hell you can take the heat. Words and hurt can’t shake you because only you can decide your fate.

STOP crying and live. Look in the mirror and realize that nobody in the world is exactly like you and being you is a gift. Don’t let somebody who tries to reject and not return the gift of your love have your love anymore. GO and be brave.

To those who feel unlovable, you are lovable, and you do not deserve damn less.

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.
