Greek Mythology

I really dig mythology in general but Greek mythology is really interesting! I think it's because when I was really young my mom bought an amazing book filled with them all and they were such amazing, vividly told tales. My favorite stories were the ones about Persephone, Narcissus, and Prometheus. The one I most identified with though, was the one about Icarus. The boy who flew too close to the sun. I cried every time I read it and I still cry when I read it today. I see so much of myself in Icarus. I'm not the best person. I'm not the most beautiful girl that ever lived. But I try so hard, I fasten my wax feathers to my back and take flight only to fly too high and plummet into the ocean to my watery death. With a lot of people the problem is that they don't care. With me, I care about everything too damn much. I become competitive and over-ambitious and I fly too high and end up messing up everything,
