                                                    A fatal flaw leading to the downfall of a tragic hero



Park Elijah Cantor has got the perfect life.Great grades,great friends and a beautiful girlfriend.A Perfect,yet bland life,but not like he needed to change anything.He has everything scripted before his eyes-Pass out with great grades,get a job,get a wife,make kids and spend your entire life raising those kids.what a great life!

Life had always been more like a checklist to him,than an adventure.

But isn't it too unreal to have everything perfect in life?There always have to be a hamartia that ruins it all.
 And his hamartia was..the fact that he was always scared.Scared of accepting the fact he leaned towards liking the same gender.Scared of the facts that people might leave him if he is not "perfect".Scared of what society thinks.

"Be yourself,everyone else is already taken"-Oscar Wilde.

"But how"
"Why"
"What about my "checklist"

So he kept killing parts of him.Trying to please everybody else,losing himself in the process.
  But-
Then came Atlas,in his life.Who'personality was complete opposite to Elijah's.

He came and he went.

Nothing has changed.

Yet...

Nothing was the

Same anymore.

Perhaps because...love is a constant hit or miss .. you may find your "the one" or you simply won't.Because everything beautiful in our life perishes.
And

Something's are never meant to be.
