Regarding heroes... (Conclusion)

Where did I want to go with that post?

Look, most people will rise and fall. I know it. And believing in heroes seems... childish. I know that too.

Thing is... I need that hope, that innocence, that dream, that ambition, I feel that if I lose that, I'll become another one of these dissatisfied, spoiled, bitter "citizens" I see all around me.

I want to become one of those heroes too, those who prevail... I want to be that to my family, to my friends, to complete strangers, to my future lover, to my future kids. More than that, I want to be a hero to myself!

I think that's my big dream! You know? There are those who want to be president, policeman, CEO, rich, priest, bum... Well, mine is to be a hero.

Even if I know how hard it is, and it's my own, lone, quest, it feels reassuring to have some role models to follow, that it's not impossible.

And it's saddening when one who seemed so promising fall like this...

(Then again, you grieve, you reflect about it, you get up and you move on....)
