I AM A HERO

Saying the words, I AM A HERO, has a huge impact on me. It gives me the right to forgive all of the wrong doings I did to myself and others and to realize all the wrong doings were actually right. It gives me a sense of freedom and exhilaration beyond the words on this paper. It tells me that all along I have been at the right place at the right time, even when harm was near. For me, I became a hero when I was born. My journey has always been moving in motion. I have overcome some of the hardest tests a person can endure. The abyss has been part of my whole life. I ran from it many times, being scared to succeed, to be alone, abandoned, or not wanted, but now realize no matter how far I ran, stopping and facing the fears was what I needed to do. I have had the sense of not knowing what I am doing, but always known what I am doing. I have reinvented myself several times. I have struggled with follow my dreams because I wasn’t sure exactly what the dreams were. They felt too far to grasp, even though they have always been in front of my face.
