A/N: Hey guys! Back with a little more of Percy point of view, hope you like it!
If there is one thing Percy has learned, it's that you can't live life thinking about everything that could go wrong.
Cause it can. In fact, there are a million different ways something can go wrong. And sometimes it will. But he has (tried to) dare himself to think, what if things go right?
When he meets her she's funny and sarcastic and he think it's all too good to be true. He waits for the other foot to drop.
She asks to see him again and he feels like the other foot is going to be something catastrophic because no way he gets this lucky.
He's nervous and sweaty when he arrives for their date and she smiles and hold his hand even though he's pretty sure it's gross and things are going a bit to well.
Something has to go wrong now. Something always does.
And he's right….sort of.
She asks him if he wants to make it official after a few more amazing dates and he panics. He panics and runs and cries because he's pretty sure he's fucked it up and there's no coming back from that now.
He's in a world of hurt and drowning in a milkshake when she finally finds him. He can't look her in the eye and focuses his attention on keeping his face from getting red.
He's unsuccessful and she forces him to look at her.
She asks why. She asks for an explanation.
He stumbles through the idea that this is too good to be true, that something bad is going to happen, that love like this is gonna end in heartbreak.
In his experience it always has.
She gives him a look and he thinks that it does sound kinda stupid now that he's said it out loud.
She shakes her head and hold out her hand. She's willing to give him another chance. He feels like crying.
Then she says something that makes him attempt to restructure his entire thinking.
Because what if instead of worrying and holding back because of things that might fail or might hurt or any number of bad things, instead of thinking about all that could go wrong, you dared to think of all the things that could go right.
"You got to love like there's no such thing as a broken heart."
And he does.
And surprisingly enough, things go right.
A/N: So what did you think? Did you like it? I just wanted to challenge your thinking a bit, cause we all often jump to the worst possible scenario, and that's okay, good to be prepared. But sometimes that thinking weighs us down and holds us back. So sometimes you just have to challenge your thinking and say, yes this can go wrong, but what if it didn't. Allow yourself to think positively, allow yourself to dream and reach for your dreams. Allow yourself to love without worrying about heartbreak.
I hope you liked this piece and I leave you with a challenge to try and apply this kind of thinking to something happening in your life. I will try too and I know it'll be difficult but no harm in trying right!
Please review! I'd love to hear your thoughts!
And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
