"I am a mess," you said,
Gosh, what a beautiful mess!
purest soul, the prettiest smile
You meant every kind word you said to the strangers.
All the pain I endured, all the bad memories I bore in my heart
I'm ready to experience those over and over if you are the end result.
You are my beautiful mess.

I've found Leo Valdez super relatable as I read the Lost Hero. Possibly even more relatable than I ever found him before. Because now that I've lost my mom too, I really, really feel his struggles. I almost envy his ability to run from the pain and sad thoughts. Because i haven't always been able to do that, and it's probably why turning 20 next year makes me feel like there's a giant pit in my stomach. It's just...loss. I feel loss, and I understand it as a real nagging pain. I have a dad, so I was never on the run like Leo was.
But somehow having someone feels like it makes my loss that much worse. Because it means worrying about losing him too, and ending up completely alone. I feel no confidence in taking care of myself on my own. I feel none, and it's that existentialism that haunts my mind sometimes. So yeah... I understand the pain. I really do. Piper and Jason may be really relatable too (and I really, really love both characters), but Leo is the only one with whom I now think I have this intimate connection of loss.

my knees have a crush on my head and my hands make love with my hair. they do not care how much my heart aches, the fog in my brain or how my tears pool on the floor, as long as they get to be together
