I was told the same thing Icarus was

Don't fly up to high but never get too far down either

Be average so you don't draw to much attention

It could be dangerous!

For you?

Maybe? Who cares?

But think about what it would do to the family-name
What the neighbors would think about us

I felt like Perseus

Send on an adventure I am not sure I am meant to survive

I wasn't even given a shield to protect myself properly from Medusa

Then again

I am not sure I would be able to slaughter her

I myself got turned into a monster for something that wasn't really my fault

Unlike Achilles

I had more than one weak spot that could destroy me and sadly more than one Paris with far more than one arrow

Apollo was fucking wasted while creating me

And that is why I could never fall in love with my reflection the way Narcissus did

The weather would not change when I would leave home the way it did for Persephone

I wouldn't be able to bribe Paris into giving me the golden apple

Then again

No God or Godess would ever think I had the right to ask for it in the first place

I would never be worthy the way Helen was

I am sure I will never find someone that would play their way into the underworld like Orpheus did for his lovely Eurydice

Sometimes I curse that women for opening that damn box and freeing all my small friends that always stay by my side
