A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with a very important point I want to get across, also back to cannon Percabeth! Here ya go:
Percy knew he was "damaged." Damaged enough to get kicked out of schools, and hit by his stepfather, and damaged enough to mess up whatever might come next.
Annabeth always knew she was broken. Broken from her family, herself, broken enough to run away and never turn back.
Percy knew he was a "shitstorm." A shitstorm met hurricane that this quest was going to inevitably end up being. There was a lot on his shoulders, there always was.
Annabeth knew she was a "mess." A mess that lost her best friend and still cared for the family that betrayed her. There were too many thoughts, there always were.
Percy was lost, no direction or plan in life. It was going to spiral down. Because he was "damaged" because he was a "shitstorm" because things never went according to plan anyway.
Annabeth was scared as all hell for the future. It was going to be messed up. Because she was "broken" because she was a "mess" because nothing ever worked out before so why should it now?
"I'm damaged goods," he tells Annabeth, a warning perhaps, before this- whatever it is between them- gets serious.
"I'm broken," she replies.
And maybe in that moment, that moment filled with the past that haunts them, the present that stresses them and the future that scares them, they realize something.
They realize that it all just makes them human.
A/N: So what did you think? I often get people who describe themselves in this way, and every time I tell them, this isn't a weakness or a bath thing, It's just what makes you human.
Just because you have issues or baggage or fears doesn't make you weak or any less of a person, in fact it's what makes you a person, a real life living, breathing, person. So it's okay to feel lost and confused or hurt or sad. It's a part of life, it's a part of the human experience.
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts!
And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
