As I became older I still wanted that same handsome knight and shining armour riding on a white horse, but along with him, a personality, riches and a personal chef. He had to be nice, caring and wanted children. Essentially, my hero had to be perfect and husband-worthy.
When I got to my late twenties, I still wanted a hero to come and save me from my current situation. But no longer does he have to be handsome, nor a knight riding on a white horse. The height, wealth, talent would all be a bonus. But the personality is a must. I was waiting for that person.
Men come and go. None have possessed in full capacity everything that I had wanted as a little girl. Perhaps, what I wanted as a little girl can never exist. Or even as a young child I never really liked this world I was born into and sensed that I didn't belong. Or, its just that I never knew what a hero really is.
A hero can simply be someone who has the heart to care enough to give you sound advice. They may not be able to physically save you, but instead to help you get back on the right track again, whether it is emotional, financial or social.
We, esp. myself, need to take responsibility for our actions. If we are stuck in a rut, can't wait for someone to come save us. It may be someone who passes by and yells "GET UP". It is up to us to listen and do it. Let's not wait for that knight and shining armour riding on that white horse. That knight might never show up.
Thank you Hero.
