29I’m clingy.
If I like you, I constantly want to talk to you. I want to know how your day went and what you did. I want to be able to talk to you, because talking to you makes me happy. If I see you, I’ll run up to you and give you a hug because your company is the best. Sorry if it gets annoying and you’re bothered by me.

Selkie
Way up north, sitting by the sea, looking at seals all day, who could honestly say they haven’t had at least one romantic thought about those little water-dwelling blubber-bags? The story of the Selkie is the story of that love that dare not speak its name (basically).
In the folk tales of Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands the Selkie pops up from time to time; maintaining the form of a seal while in the water, the Selkies can come ashore, shed their skin, and take the form of a beautiful human. Nearly every story involving a Selkie is a romantic tragedy of some sort, whether it’s that of a beautiful lady Selkie tricking a sad farmer boy into the water to smash him up on rocks, or a guy with nothing better to do stealing the shed sealskin of a Selkie maiden and forcing her to marry him, the tales generally aren’t “feel-good.”
The males of the supernatural species spend most of time seeking out women who are angry or dissatisfied with their husbands and seducing them; their homewrecking abilities are unquestioned.
The leading theory on where the Selkies come from, regardless of what they do, is that they are the bizarre reincarnation of restless drowned souls.

This ring features a complete band of Gibeon Meteorite framed and mounted in an 18k gold band. The meteorite has been etched with nitric acid to reveal the characteristic patterns, or Widmanstatten figures, of iron meteorites, and set with 9 gemstones representing the planets of our Solar System. Mercury is represented by a rust colored Sapphire, Venus a golden Sapphire, Earth an irradiated blue Diamond, Mars a Ruby, Jupiter an Opal, Saturn a Cats Eye Chrysoberyl with an inlaid 24k gold ring, Uranus a green Sapphire, Neptune a blue Sapphire and Pluto a black Diamond. What really makes this ring special is that the band of meteorite spins independent of the gold ring, so when it is on, the planets rotate around the wearer’s finger.
TL;DR SPACE RING GIMME
If you want to marry me, you better buy me this ring.
I need this D:
They rotate around the ring? Omg. Yes. I want this.
All men who are lined up around the block to propose their undying love (har har), take note! I do not want a diamond but I will happily accept a ring of the solar system. In fact, anything solar system is love. Or space. Or science. Any of those three things and I am yours forever.

An Insignificant Importance
I am not as important as the Sun.
Life does not depend on me
And eyes can see without me.
I do not light up the world simply by virtue of being,
Nor do people celebrate my glorious return after long harsh months.
No,
I am not as important as the Sun.
I am not as important as a maggot,
Who breaks down matter
To be recycled by the Earth.
The circle of life, as they say, is not dependent on my appetite
And without my contribution it would keep on spinning.
No,
I am not as important as a maggot.
I am only a human,
A woman, after all,
Who stands truly alone.
Unimportant compared to the mountains,
The sea,
The moon,
The stars,
The Sun,
and all existence.
I am a speck compared to the boundary-less cosmos that spreads before me,
And my life is as short as the bat of an eye.
Yet, you hold my hand,
Lover,
Friend,
Companion who walks with me.
You hold my hand and suddenly
I am as important as the Sun.
Simply by being, your hand in mine reminds me,
That your world is brighter because I am there.
This insignificant person in the face of everything
Has meaning to a being of equal insignificance,
And in the face of your mortality
I am as important as a maggot.
For when you die, as all humans must,
I will remember you.
The importance of your life on the lives you touched
Will live on for as long as they can
Because I will tell your stories
So that they may inspire someone else
To be as great as you were.
