I am my own hero.

Only I can be me in this world of unique, everflowing impossibilities.

Why is it that I'm asked who my hero is, or who I look up to? Perhaps it's because of the people living in this unique world who set their lives and goals based on someone else's achievements and failures.

But not me. I am the only one who can determine what a failure is to me and what a success feels like. Only I can taste victory in an apple pie and the burn in my cheeks when I can't remember how to do simple addition. I do not rely on how another person sees my own life, for it would merely cloud my overall experience of life itself. Though I haven't always been this way.

Originally, the way I lived life was by comparing what I was doing to a classmate, or my best friends, or my siblings. I experienced things based on how the person next to me felt. But this isn't living.

I'll show you what living is.
