a summary of the consequences of my life because I read percy jackson
1. If we are able to worry about it, it means we are alive right now.
2. Don’t try to envision what’s beyond it, unless you’re religious, because it’s physically impossible. Our brains don’t have the capability to imagine it.
3. I try to distract myself with the political world, as it’s much faster-paced and very grounding in how it changes so quickly.
4. Yes, I am terrified, and wondering how everyone else is happy, but then I have to remember that many of us haven’t truly lived yet. Many of us have been resigned to quiet, boring lives by overprotective parents.
5. It mostly hits you the strongest when you’re the least satisfied with your life; when there’s so much you want to achieve but you don’t want the time to pass in order for you to be able to.
6. Life is an A-Z, NOT an A-B.
7. It’s time we went searching for life’s peripheral, rather than just the tunnel.
8. Obligatory the-school-system-has-failed-us: life is prepared until you turn 18 and most children see that as being forever away. I reached 16 and then felt wrong going any further. Education for children is often centred around “don’t do this or you will DIE and it’ll be HORRIBLE” which is fine to prevent a toddler from doing something, but completely forgets that one day that toddler is going to grow up.
9. Today is in its own bubble, and I’m going to try and believe I’m okay.
You coming?
This season gave me everything I ever wanted, in the way that so many shows have let me down in the past.
My entire life I‘ve been used to wishing for things that never come true.
Thank you, Noelle Stevenson, and every single other person on this team who made this possible!
Staying up until 4am to read incredible fanfiction seems like such a good idea at the time 😅
Please don’t let fandom ruin something you love. Walk away and unfollow the fans and enjoy the thing by yourself, or find a limited circle of people who ignore the discourse, or get your irl friends into the thing and collectively ignore the Internet community, or blacklist from here to the moon if you need to and only ever scroll through your rarepair ship’s tag on AO3. But don’t let fandom distort a show or a movie or a book or a comic you used to love so badly that you can’t enjoy the original anymore. Please. It isn’t worth it.
