Last Night

“Last night I was seriously considering whether 

I was a bisexual or not but I don’t think so 

though I’m not sure if I’d like to be and argh 

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, 

if you like a person, you like the person, not their genitals.”

~ Jess C Scott, Tongue-Tied

I Cannot Have A Man Who Is Afraid of Everything

“I cannot have a man who is afraid of everything, 

I don't have the time to soothe insecurities and fears, 

I cannot have a man who is standing on a stone by a creek, 

watching for the fish to swim by and every time he sees a fish he says 

"Oh look, this fish scares me, I wonder what this fish means, 

this fish might mean- this, or this fish might mean- that" for God's sake, 

they are just fish, and they don't mean anything! 

Such a sad thing, so many fine, 

strong men standing on top of little stones, 

pointing at fish all the time! Such a waste! Such a waste of time! 

I can only have a man who will leap into the water, 

not minding the damn fish and whatever other little things that scare him. 

I need to have someone who is braver than me; 

if I am a pirate, he has to be the pirate Captain, 

if I am a pirate Captain he has to be the flying dragon.”

~ C. JoyBell C.

I Got My Heart's Desire

 Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

You Can't Lose Something

“You Can't Lose Something You Never Had”

~ Kate G. Hudson

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
