Modern Mythology Quotes

“A Memo from Aphrodite

You are a rare and untouchable beauty
And it hurts me more than you know
That you give yourself toxic love
Insted of allowing yourself to grow

You look for love in others
Before choosing to love yourself
You pick people like they are figurines
On your never-ending carousel

I know love can be destructive
I have seen the pain it's put you through
So please give yourself real love first
That is all I could ever ask of you”
― Nadia McGhee, Modern Mythology: Poems about gods, mortals, and monsters

“Asteria Collapsing
[...]But he will not be your destruction
No, this is your rebirth

Allow yourseld to crumble Asteria
Your fate will not be one they mourn
For you are a blazing star
You must collapse before you are born”
― Nadia McGhee, Modern Mythology: Poems about gods, mortals, and monsters
