So I feel I've had a strong connection to Father Poseidon for like- forever. Even before I knew what being a Helpol was. Before I start, I wanna say 2 things, 1. I can seperate Gods from their myths, and 2. I am a PJO and Epic the musical fan, but i know the difference between God and fandom. so here are my reasons, i want your opinions pls. 1. When i was younger (and making Demigod OC's/ being asked which God I would want to be my parent) I would always choose Father Poseidon without hesitation. I would be asked 'Why not Zeus? He's really powerful' or 'why not Hades? He's supper cool' and i never had a real reason. choosing Father Poseidon always felt right. 2. There was a time i thought Greek mythology was stupid. i hated it. but i always felt drawn to any of the myths that involved Father Poseidon. any others and you quickly lost my attention. 3. I've always felt safe when talking about Father Poseidon. I've been a pretty paranoidid most my life, but i always felt safer when i brought up Father Poseidon, or He was brought up to me 4. I've always felt close to the ocean, even when i felt to scared to go in. i don't live around the ocean, but i always felt oddly drawn to being around it the few times i had the chance. 5. I always got upset when people talked negatively about Father Poseidon. i could never really tell why. i used to have no reason to get defensive, but i did. 6. I have only been around a statue of Father Poseidon once, but it was one of my best experiences ever. i just felt loved you know? i dont know how else to explain it (No, I am **not** claiming Father Poseidon is really my dad, i know He isn't) 7. When i first became a Helpol and started worshiping Him, calling Father Poseidon, Lord instead of Father felt wrong. like it wasnt supposed to be spoken by me, like i was supposed to call him Father instead. 8. I've always had a semi belief in Him, even when i thought there was no Gods, i always deep down knew there was a chance He was out there, somewhere in the ocean, helping to keep the world running But i dont know. what do you all think?
