#thirdtimelucky

When I died the first time, it didn’t hurt. The second time was much more excruciating. This is the story of the third time. 

As you have probably guessed by now, I am not a normal person. I am immortal. Kind of. I was given the job of doing something, and I am not able to move on or ‘die’ until I have completed it. The problem is, I don’t know what it is that I am supposed to be completing.

You’re probably wondering why I want to escape immortality. Good question. Honestly, though, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. 

That’s not to say I wanted to escape immortality to start with. The first life was fun, because I just did what I wanted to. No need to worry, because if I messed up, who cares? I could always start again. So I lived a relaxed and happy life. Then I died. Death took away my life. Literally.

Everything I had worked for. Gone. Everything I had craved. Gone. Everyone I had loved. Gone. 

And then I was reborn. But no one remembered me. My two granddaughters, both of whom I met, didn’t recognise me. It was even worse than losing them - watching them lose me and be unable to help. 

So, in my second life, I decided to love no one. Care for no one. Because then, when I inevitably died and was reborn, I wouldn’t have to suffer again.

But I was wrong. Doing that did not stop me from suffering. If anything, it increased it. With nothing to love, I became exceedingly lonely. I had pushed away the chance of getting relationships. It was even shorter than I expected before, at the age of 25, I gave in to alcohol and drugs.

It was not long after that that I killed myself in a drunken daze, with a beer glass, and as I gradually bled to death, that somehow, a purpose became clear to me - that I was in this execrable cycle to achieve something significantly urgent. 

So, I dedicated my third life to finding what that something was.

Next sample coming soon...

A little magic at sea.

(Everyone I told after just told me it's not allowed. But Steve brought me on stage and I sang on two different stages on two different days so. Blame the cute guitarist)

Steve on guitar, his beautiful and talented wife Caroline on keys when she's not actively their social media aficionado (girl you've got your hands full. But on a serious note, I hope your 30s are filled with comfort, excitement, and laughter).
