so i heard this quote "heroes come in all shapes and sizes" and i started thinking: i wanna be someone's hero before i die.
i mean, yeah, i already have people saying "What would jessica do...?" and stuff like that, but when i think about it, no one actually looks up to me. it's pretty lame, when i think about it. but then again, i have nothing to be a hero for. so, maybe i should work on looking for a hero before i actually can be one.
who is a good hero? i mean, the world is full of people, all misunderstood and depreciated. therefore, the task of finding one worth admiring is difficult. and i mean admiring in a good way, not the way i used to idolize my brother. in all honesty, i'm sick of the male role model, cuz despite my hopes and dreams, i'm not a boy (and... yeah, surgery is a lil drastic). i dunno. women just don't seem worth looking up to. the only reason people ever look up to them is cuz they're a "strong woman." they're placed on an entirely different scale than... well, people! she's "strong for a woman" means that she can probably not have an emotional breakdown [in front of people] when she gets her heart broken, or one someone dies. to be a strong person is totally different.
i dunno. sometimes i don't think heroes exist. there's no super-human out there who does all sorts of good for those who need it. there's only batmen; people who do the best they can with what they've got to fix all the problems that they can. and the crappy thing is, there aren't even very many batmen, lord knows none as rich as the real batman. money corrupts people; he's lucky to be so magnificent.
i don't think the world has heroes. maybe that's why i wanna be one. but when i hear that they come in all shapes and sizes, it makes them sound so commonplace and average. they aren't, though. they don't even exist.
