I can’t change where I come from or what I’ve been through, so why should I be ashamed of what makes me, me?

At an early age I learned that people make mistakes, and you have to decide if their mistakes are bigger than your love for them.

Sometimes you could be doing everything right and thing will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right.

Brave doesn’t mean you’re not scared. It means you go on even though you’re scared.

day eleven (100 days of productivity)

today was a whole lot. this morning i had my physics exam--i didn't do completely horrible but i know that if i had practiced more i would have gotten more correct. however, i will not beat myself up about it now. i am glad that i was able to maintain balance throughout exam block.

after my exams, i went to the library for a lil solo-date. my intentions for the date were to outline some youtube videos and do some market research for my upcoming online store.

library internet is my savior.

i borrowed my english book for next terms exam: the hate u give. i managed to do an initial reading of the book in 4 and a half hours. but now my back hurts, from all my uncomfortable reading positions.

i finished today off by watching like five episodes of alta. it's my favourite! if i was to redo one thing today, i would definitely take breaks from reading, perhaps going for little walks. it would definitely ease the pain i am in now.

Guys… I just have to… okay listen

I picked up the Lighting Thief while in was at a Target with my mom while I was in 8th grade. I hated reading. I hated it. I’d rather do a multiplication table test then partake in popcorn reading (if you know you know, and if you know how much I HATE math that means something).

I’m sitting here right now post-episode 8 (yes I did cry like a baby thank you for asking) watching the behind the scenes documentary A Hero’s Journey.

8th grade me could have NEVER imagined the journey PJO would take. Or the journey I would take in the years of The Lightning Thief to the Sun and the Star, all the way to a freaking faithful series adaptation.

PJO introduced me to fandom. I remember seeking out PJO fan fiction because The Lost Hero came out, there was no Percy, and it was going to be a year long wait to figure out where this “other camp” was. I remember finding every Viria fan art I could find. It’s not even funny how many times over I’ve watched the Viria “How Far We’ve Come” music art video since the drop of episode 1

PJO taught me to love reading. PJO lead me to Hunger Games, Legend and The Young Elites, Rot & Ruin, The Hate U Give, An Ember in the Ashes, Born A Crime, Island of Sea Women, Alex Rider, A Woman of No Importance, Skyhunter, Eragon, Barrackkn: The Story of the Last “Black Cargo”, The Sun is Also A Star, Revolution for Dummies, and so so so so many more. It’s because of PJO that I have flown on the backs of dragons, won and lost revolutions, been to the ends of Tartarus and Isihogo (Twice!), saw the world through a spy’s eyes, been the villain, been the hero, and lived more lives than one is allowed to live in one life.

That 8th grader in Target had no idea what she was getting herself into. And I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Thank you Uncle Rick. Thank you to the whole Disney+ Team that made this season reality.

Uncle Rick. Thank you for a million of your stories, and a million more that you opened up to me.

In collaboration with Black Voters Matter, we made this list of our 7️⃣ favorite books by Black authors being banned in schools and libraries across the country. Many of these helped to broaden America’s view of Black people, art, and culture.

Have you read any of these yet, and are any on your Reading List this year? Comment below with your favorites! 📚
