Burdens Of A Leader

"Leadership is not about being appreciated. It is about responsibility. It doesn't matter that the burden is heavy. It matters that you carry it."
Little did I know then, just how true those words would ring now.
It has been exactly one whole year since Master Splinter's death, though the vivid memory and pain of his fall to his dreadful fate never seemed to age along with time. Shredder? Finished. New York? Still. The brothers? Distant. Ever since their father and master had left them, life hasn't been the same for any of the turtles. And as for Leonardo, he's never been more uncertain of his roll as leader, and newly-found position as sensei of the ninjas. Leadership has taken on an entirely new meaning that he's anything but prepared for. Little did he know, that he would soon be faced with a situation that would force him to make a life changing decision for his family, and carry a burden that no teenager could ever imagine having to endure.

The Words That Hurt Me
A general rule of thumb for any type of story telling media is to not have more than five main characters. Often, these five are separated into categories, the leader, the smart one, the hothead, the Woman, and finally, the dumb one. While the others are given chances to express their talents and skills in carefully planned arcs, the dumb one is often neglected. No, the dumb one is meant to entertain, he makes a mistake and you are to laugh at it. He is not allowed to have a moment of realization, not given the chance to prove himself, not allowed to be more than the dumb one. A joke. The unwilling jester meant to make his blind peers look smarter, clever, at the expense of his pride and shame. Michelangelo, youngest ninja turtle, is Doing Just Fine. He means it. The teasing words of his brothers doesn't feel like scalding water against his skin, thank you very much. He Doesn't feel hurt when they brush him off as childish and immature, when they refuse to listen. And he Absolutely Does Not need any help because he doesn't have any problems. He doesn't feel bad. He doesn't really feel anything at all. Mikey can't exactly say there's anything wrong when he can't identify it, but how can he ignore his inner world falling to pieces and his mental health declining? Well, apparently the kid on the computer can relate to that.Complete

storm || r. hamato
(Cover designed with PicsArt) WATTPAD DELETED CHAPTERS 14 AND 17 AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO Raphael Hamato x DemiGirl! Reader (ATTENTION: THIS BOOK HAS BEEN REWRITTEN. THERE IS A SLIGHTLY NEW PLOTLINE AND A LOT OF DETAILS ARE DIFFERENT. I CREATED MY OWN UNIVERSE. GO CHECK IT OUT! "They Lies They Shared" :)) You were an average teenager in the city of New York. There was nothing special about you in particular. Your friends were quite special, though. One of them in particular was more special to you than the others. His name was Raphael. What made him special to you? You had no idea. You'd just grown closer to him over the span of several years compared to his three brothers. You and him were quite the mess, but that's what made things special between the two of you. Some might even say that you and him were a hurricane together. If it were any consolation, at least country singers like hurricanes. Despite having the title of a storm, you didn't think there was anything special about you. . .but maybe you were wrong. Due to your connections with the turtles, this made you the bullseye to ,probably, the worst enemies of New York City. Will you fall in the hands of the enemy? How often could that happen? Warning; Blood, gore, profanity, violence, suicide, depression, poorly described anxiety, there's some emotional abuse here ngl, and continuity errors LMAO If you are suffering from depression, thoughts of suicide, domestic abuse, etc., just know that you can get help. I can send you hotlines to help you. You are not alone. With love, Donnie.Complete
