New Realities

  1. Our childhood superheroes and idols are all flawed. Next time you read up on mythology, Shakespearean classics or Marvel comics, pay close attention.
  2. We all get second chances in life. It just doesn't always turn out the way we expect them to be.
  3. We need to be very, very specific with our prayers.
  4. Sometimes we look for love in the wrong places.
  5. At times, it is easier to deal with pain and rejection than love and acceptance.
  6. History can be rewritten in one day.
  7. Silence is a good breeding ground for voices in your head.
  8. We sometimes mistake courage for self-preservation and masked fear. It is revealed at the threshold of a revelation and how one deals with it.
  9. Being smart has its downsides.
  10. Knowledge and acceptance are at opposite ends of the spectrum. But one has to find the right reflection in order to see the rainbow.

all super heroes are flawed because they are also all tragic figures. and flaw is the main ingredient of tragedy.

but i agree with everything you said.

@kaye, the nice thing about old friendships is that you know there's understanding even in silence :)

I believe prayer works and being specific is actually a miracle at work! Nice realities, and everything is true to its deepest sense!

Like the one with silence. And yup, it's really creepy since many voices do develop... seriously (of course not that you're going insane but yep, those voices really are bothering hehehe!)
