So I was reading a book.

A Percy Jackson fanfiction, to be exact.

And Percy killed a monster. The only problem was that he was in Taturus. Monsters, once they are "killed", go to tarturus.

Where do monsters go if they are killed in Tarturus?

Do they go to, you know, above-ground?

So that other demigods can kill them and send them back to Tarturus? And then the cycle begins again.

Talk about cruel and unusual punishment.

Monsters are just being killed and transported to another place.

Must be a hell of a case of jetlag.

COUPLE DAYS LATER (literally):
(It gets just a little bit more pretentious right here. Like, I agree with what I'm saying, but I  could've probably used some better words as examples of name calling. 3/10/16)

Okay so this thought just came to mind.

What up with terms like "emo" or "goth"?

They're labels. And most of the time, they aren't true.

People use them as insults, and I Don't get it.

Whoever does this is just putting people in the same category because they're different.

Last time I checked, it was good to be different. To be unique.

I'm different.

Are they saying I'm "emo" or "goth" or "scene"?

So what?

To you people who call people names like this,

IT'S NOT AN INSULT.

Actually, I think it's more of a compliment than an insult.

You're telling them that they are unique and are actually worth talking to.

I bet you just have a grudge or are threatened by them.

Because they are better than you.

And you don't like it.

So you try to put them down for being themselves. For being different than you.

To all the people who are called those names,

You are you.

All you're faults and insecurities and mistakes.

So be you.

Don't listen to the bullies.

Find good friends that won't put you down for being you. For being different. For being unique.

For being irreplaceable.

For being Priceless.

For being a whole lot of other amazing things.

But most of all, for being YOU.

That was my rant for the week.

Good night and good dreams.
