Heroes we need!

It's been a while since a good old fashioned blog.  Not a quick poem. or a posting of what I spend my spare time doing, my book.  But a good old fashioned blog where I pour my heart and let off what has been on my chest for way to long.  Some might need it. and others will hopefully store this when they will, because I know for a fact there comes a time when we all need heroes.

The heroes we need!

I talk a lot about super heroes, and this blog will be no exception.  There comes days where lack of a better term it all goes to Hell.  Day's where nothing goes right.  You wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and smack your head on the nightstand.  You get in your car and realize theres a flat.  You check your bank account and it is so close to negative the bank has you on speed dial to tell you about the upcoming overdraft charge.   The days where it rains all day and you see sunshine in everybody elses, and feel like the big man upstairs is conspiring against you to see how much you can take, and you just want to scream up to the heavens, I QUIT!  I've had enough!  You win I'm not as strong as you thought I was going to be.  These are the days where we need heroes to save us, a friend to talk to, a shoulder to cry on, or just someone to be there for you.  You need your own superhero to help come save the day of shit you just had, and sometimes the hero that you have been seeking has been in you the whole time.

Heroes come in many forms it could be a conversation when ones needed. a person to vent to, a friend to drive you home, or a person who never gives up on you, even if you have given up on yourself many times in the past.  These are the realest heroes that we will ever meet.  Everyday we are battling life, some days we are winning, and others we are losing an uphill battle.  The important thing is to never lay down and give up fighting.  The reason why is because someone might look to you as a hero, and if they see their hero lie down and take it, it shows them there is no hope, so why try.  The truest definition of defeat is quitting without even trying.  Sooner or later the battle you have been waging will turn in your favor, and its up to you see that turning point and strike when you can.  Whether it be a door that is sudden open, a truth that sheds some light on the dark days, or some other sign from God.  When these happen you must take them, because they come once in a lifetime, and chances are if you don't take them when you can, they are not coming back, and you will lose the battle in the end.

This day of age we need heroes more now than ever.  Don't believe our society is surrounded by super heros.  Wal-mart is selling super hero t shirts. and it is now more than ever acceptable to be who you are.  You might be a nerd, hipster, slacker, gay, straight, religious, it doesn't matter because the world is finally realizing to a point that we are all human, and we all need each others help to survive.  We all need heroes and we all need to be heroes for others.  If you are not a hero, then why should someone else be.  If you are not willing to give up your time for others, to help someone else out that isn't yourself, you have no right to ask for help in return..  No right at all!  We all need someone to talk to, someone to love, someone to console with, someone to hug, hell someone just to sit with us and stare at the wall as we contemplate life.  If  you are not willing to be that person for someone else, then you will have a sad life.

Each morning my kids ask me if super heroes are real.  And I tell them yes, because it is my goal in life to prove to them that heroes are real.  And they are locked inside all of us, we just have to let them out.  I surprised my kids today by taking to go see Iron Man in the theater, and the face that was on Brod's face was priceless.  He had a solemn look on his face when he had a surprise, more of bored wonderment, and then I dropped the surprise on him.  That we were going to go see Iron Man at the movies, and his face lighted up brighter than it does on Christmas, all because he got to see a real super hero in action, granted it was fake, but it was one step closer than just playing super heros in the living room with his brother and sister.  As kids we want to believe in heroes, but as adults we have been tricked into believing them to be fantasy. and in a way that means the villains have won.  The second we stop believing in heroes, santa, easter bunny, and ourselves is the day a part of us dies.  The part of us that knows that everything will be right in the end.  The part we need to survive this crazy world.

So in closing, thank you for being a hero to me in the past and I know for a fact in the future.  We all need heroes, and some of us are to blind to realize it.  When that happens is when we are given a reality check to see if our heroes are still there. and if that happens to you or someone you love please step up and be a hero.
Because we all need heroes!
