Reyna: *was raised by a paranoid and abusive father who turned her house into a fortress, accidentally killed her father to protect her sister, went through the Sea of Monsters, was brought to Circe’s Island thinking she’d finally have peace only for her home to be attacked and overrun by pirates who most likely raped and abused her and her sister and all the other female friends she lived with for a year, went to Camp Jupiter after parting with her own sister, became Praetor and gained romantic feelings for Jason only for him to disappear and hold the weight of an entire city and army on her shoulders for months only for her best friend and crush to come back with another girl and completely ignore her* K

Thalia: *ran away from her home at a young age after she lost her two year old brother and hated her drunken and neglectful mother, pretty much died and turned into a literal tree, came back to life only to find that her little sister figure was thirteen years old and her best friend had betrayed her, and blamed herself for losing her little brother* K

Nico: *had his mom killed right in front of him by his uncle, had his memories wiped and was put into the Lotus Casino and taken from time for years, lost his older sister, was used by King Minos, struggled with depression, was outcasted by all of Camp Half-Blood, and felt like a loner his whole life* K

I’m not special

In the way that I love you.

Everyone falls for you, I mean why wouldn’t they?

I was just the first one who did.

That's most of us. We feel completely stuck, trapped in our emotional cells, but there's a way out - as long as we're willing to see it ... You are your own jailer ... Most of us come to therapy feeling trapped - imprisoned by our thoughts, behaviors, marriages, jobs, fears, or pasts. Sometimes we imprison ourselves with a narrative of self-punishment. If we have a choice between believing one of two things, both of which we have evidence for - I'm unlovable, I'm lovable - often we choose the one that makes us feel bad. Why do we keep our radios tuned to the same static-ridden stations (the everyone's-life-is-better-than-mine station, the I-can't-trust-people station, the nothing-works-out-for-me station) instead of moving the dial up or down? Change the station. Walk around the bars. Who's stopping us but ourselves? There is a way out - as long as we're willing to see it.

Yeah,that anon wasn't kidding when saying that Right is overprotective. What's up Right? Any reasons because of your past or something?

Right felt chills down his spine. “No’thin much...Jus’t t’ryin t’o r’elax...Reg and Soul a’re t’reated now..M-My pas’t?...T’here’s no’thin abou’t my pas’t...” Right looked way. His mind seems to wonder.
