Hades and Persephone

In Greek mythology Persephone is the only child of Demeter, Goddess of nature and earth. Hades is the god of the underworld and the dead.

While Demeter was looking for her daughter one day, she learned that Hades had kidnapped her while she was picking flowers. He had kidnapped her because she was so beautiful that even Hades, the god of death who hardly glanced up at the living world for more then a few seconds, was struck by her, and fell in love with her. Demeter, with her only child kidnapped and forcefully married, fell into depression, and all fertility on earth stopped.

Hades began to notice that his once glowing bride had now become depressed and dark; she only wandered around his gardens without saying a word, looking up at the living world, sighing and sobbing. He attempted to make her happy by lavishing her with thousands of gifts, but Persephone was still unhappy.

Zeus sent Hermes down to to the underworld to demand that Hades release Persephone back to her mother. Hades was truly in love with Persephone and began to panic at the thought of losing her. With a last attempt he resorted to trickery. Before Persephone went back to her mother, Hades approached her with a pomegranate fruit, and began to sob over the fact that she was leaving him forever. He offered the pomegranate as a final present before she left, as it had been grown in Hades’ private garden.

Persephone took the pomegranate from Hades out of pity and compassion, but only ate six seeds from it before throwing it away. When Hermes arrived he saw the pomegranate fall to the ground and questioned Persephone. She admitted to eating it and was told by Hermes that because she had eaten from the garden of death she was forever connected to the underworld and could not leave.

Demeter became outraged that Hades had tricked her daughter into staying and went to the underworld to take Persephone back home herself, but only ended up starting a fight with Hades. To make them both happy, Zeus decided that Persephone would stay with Hades, one month for every seed she had eaten.

Thus every year Persephone would live with her solemn and dark husband for six months and then return to her mother in the world of the living for the other six.

When Persephone is with her her mother, Demeter, Demeter is happy and the world goes lush and green, and crops begin to grow. But when Demeter is separated from her daughter, she becomes depressed, and everything on earth dies, animals sleep, and the world freezes in ice and snow.

Pillow Talk is a project aiming to connect long distance lovers. Each person has a pillow for their bed and a ring sensor which they wear to sleep at night. The sensor communicates with the other person’s pillow wirelessly; when one person goes to bed, their lover’s pillow begins to glow softly to indicate their presence. Placing your head on the pillow allows you to hear the real-time heartbeat of your loved one.

I know the feeling, i was even scared to let my bbest friend follow me at one point. I do have an anon blog,but its literally all text posts and like a diary.

I don’t have the want to make an effort for anyone

Considering I was the only one ever making an effort in my last “relationship”. So I kinda feel sorry for anyone who becomes interested in me.
Because, frankly, I’m not gonna fucking try. Not like I used to. Not getting hurt and used like that again. Nope.

V for Vendetta on tv?!

Someone posted a thing that ‘read your mind’

I was just about to reblog to find the answer but they must have deleted the post and now I can’t reblog it, just comes up with an error.

And now it’s gone from the dashboard.

If it’s any consolation, the fruit I was thinking of at the end was Avocado.  

Lol

Morals are debatable, ideas are faulty and all answers can be proven wrong.

Im an 18 year old girl trying to live a happy life. Regardless of all that's happened, I still believe in love. Punk is my genre/lifestyle of choice, I'm sure it'll change. I do not have faith in my government system. In a group of people, I'm the one getting made fun of. I'm a walking contradiction. The only standards I need to live up to are my own.
