Stephanie Foo, What My Bones Know: A Memoir Of Healing From Complex Trauma

I love Nico so much for this

normalize reading a book without caring if the spine breaks, folded cover, misspelled annotations and just ruining the book completely as a form of art

im gonna have my lana del rey moment (he’s 8 years older than me)

the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

Today is my first day working in my first job ever, and im so nervous but excited

Wish me luck!!!

I still think we were robbed from an amazing/heartbreaking scene if instead of hazel (i don’t remember who it was) saving nico from the jar, Percy had saved him. Just imagine a scene where after days of literal death, you see the person you love the most but can’t have. Nico would have hugged percy out of fear and love, but by the same reasons he would have let go pretty fast. I don’t know, i just wanted more scenes where you could have seen the crush Nico had on Percy

sometimes im fine and the my dad arrives, tells me something that’ll hunt me for life and leaves. He won’t remember anything in an hour.

do it for her (your thirteen year old self)

if i ever come off a little weird and you wonder if theres something wrong with me there is theres actually so many things wrong with me but im doing such a good job being normal. so you should actually be proud of me you should smile and be like wow youre doing such a good job and then be on your merry way

Nico di Angelo definitely cut his hair using the sword at least once.

Like hear me out and imagine this. You're a child living on the streets and your hair starts getting annoyingly long where you just need to cut it. You have a dope ass stygian iron sword tho. What do you do? Because if I was Nico I would definitely do this at some point of my life.
