Don't Worry About Hurting Me

“Don't worry about hurting me, 

if that's what you're afraid of.

 I want to get hurt. 

At least I´ll feel something for a change.”

~ Katie Kacvinsky, Awaken

Annabeth

“Annabeth,” he said hesitantly, “in New Rome, 

demigods can live their whole lives in peace.”

Her expression turned guarded. 

“Reyna explained it to me. 

But, Percy, you belong at Camp Half-Blood. 

That other life—”

“I know,” Percy said. “But while I was there, 

I saw so many demigods living without fear: 

kids going to college, couples getting married and raising families. 

There’s nothing like that at Camp Half-Blood. 

I kept thinking about you and me…

and maybe someday when this war with the giants is over…”

It was hard to tell in the golden light, 

but he thought Annabeth was blushing. “Oh,” she said…

“I’m sorry,” he said. “I just…

I had to think of that to keep going. 

To give me hope. Forget I mentioned—”

“No!” she said. “Gods, Percy, that’s so sweet.”

~ Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

You Fit Into Me

“You fit into me

like a hook into an eye

a fish hook

an open eye” 

~ Margaret Atwood

When God Knows You're Ready

“When God knows you're ready for the responsibility of commitment, 

He'll reveal the right person under the right circumstances.”

We All Take Different Paths

“We all take different paths in life,

 but no matter where we go, 

we take a little of each other everywhere.”
