forgive me, peter my lost fearless leader in closets like cedar preserved from when we were just kids is it somethin' i did? the goddess of timing once found us beguiling she said she was trying peter, was she lying? my ribs get the feeling she did and i didn't wanna come down i thought it was just goodbye for now you said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me said you were gonna grow up thеn you were gonna come find mе said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me words from the mouths of babes promises oceans deep but never to keep oh, never to keep are you still a mind reader? a natural scene stealer? i've heard great things, peter but life was always easier on you than it was on me and sometimes it gets me when crossing your jet stream we both did the best we could do underneath the same moon in different galaxies and *i* didn't wanna hang around! we said it was just goodbye for now you said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me words from the mouths of babes promises oceans deep but never to keep never to keep. and i won't confess that i waited, but i let the lamp burn as the men masqueraded, i hoped you'd return with your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned -'cause love's never lost when perspective is earned and you said you'd come and get me- but you were twenty-five and the shelf life of those fantasies has expired lost to the "lost boys" chapter of your life forgive me, peter, please know that i tried to hold on (hold on) to the days (to the days) when you were mine but the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light. you said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me said you were gonna grow up you said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me said you were gonna grow up you said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me said you were gonna grow up then you were gonna come find me words from the mouths of babes promises oceans deep but never to keep.

last night as i was falling asleep i was thinking about the beauty of loving someone in any form and just wanting things with them without any ulterior motives or any other goal. like wanting to be around someone because you love them and want them in your life, not because they can do something for you, wanting to make someone food or make things for them in general not because you expect something in return but because you want them to eat well and to be happy. wanting to hold someone just because you want them close and want to make them feel safe and warm. wanting to wash someones hair because you love them and want to take care of them. anyway i think its really sweet and beautiful how a lot of times when we love someone we do things like this

my mom didn’t raise a quitter. she raised a perfectionist who’s so afraid of failing they don’t start anything to begin with

idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not, because i’ve seen a lot of people say stuff like “percy knows better than to go against annabeth”

but see, most people - anyone with a brain, really - are way too scared to challenge annabeth. because 99% of the time, she’s right. she’s always the most intelligent person in the room. shes not only logical and strategic, but she’s sharp, cunning, and even manipulative if she has to be. (as we’ve seen when she’s faced monsters). no one goes against her. one wants to, no one dares.

expect percy. if there’s one thing he knows how to do, it’s argue with annabeth. it’s like breathing. but unlike when they were kids, they don’t truly fight over stupid things. sure, they bicker and squabble over little things, because that’s who they are as a couple. but percy is the only person who will actually challenge her on something real. something big. he doesn’t do it lightly, because he knows how smart she is. but if he truly believes there’s another angle to something, or that she’s wrong because maybe she doesn’t have all the information, or maybe his heart is just in a different place - he’ll go against her. we see it in mark of athena a couple times. (their face-off kinda puts hazel in a trance). in BotL, there’s an argument between them, and i remember it’s stated that watching them argue is like watching an intense tennis match. its heated and fast paced. people make fun of percy for being dumb, and yet percy is the only one that can keep up with annabeth. he knows her better than anyone. he doesn’t think the same as her, but he knows how she thinks. so yeah, he will call her out. he’ll tell her he disgrees. he’ll even tell her that she’s wrong. and people think he’s crazy when he does it.

but annabeth respects the hell out of him for it. and while she might dismiss anyone else immediately, she won’t with him. because she respects him tremendously, and knows if he’s challenging her, there’s something to it. it doesn’t mean she’s gonna let him win, or that she’s gonna back down, because they are both ridiculously stubborn and determined. but he’ll go head to head with her. he’ll have a screaming match with her. and she loves him for it. she respects him for it. and she finds it ridiculously attractive.

because percy and annabeth are equals.

I just want to be surrounded by so much love in my life. And not just relationships. Love for my job, my home, the stars, the sunsets, the place I live where ever in the world that is. I want to experience love in all forms

list of mundane things that feel like ancient human rituals

cleaning or wipe your bare feet

breaking off a piece of bread and handing it to someone

putting the weight of a basket on your hip or head

eating nuts or berries while hunched over close to the ground

seeing something startling just out of your line of sight and very quickly stepping or leaping on to a larger object to get a better view

cupping your hands into running water to wash your face

the unanimous protection of a baby or child in a public space where women are present

when an elderly woman laughs and grips your forearm tightly

why is the pressure to be “the bigger person” always placed on the person who was wronged?

“the other day” could mean anything with me. literally yesterday. or a week ago. Seven years past.

sorry for being weird, the loneliness and the need for a deeper, more meaningful human connection is eating me alive

it's that time of the year when this gaping hole in my soul tears itself open
