Fallen hero...

Imagine how you would feel if you childhood role model looked you dead in the eye and told you that you couldn't do what they do. How would you feel if the person you looked up to your WHOLE life said that you are not strong enough to make a better life for yourself. Pretend that your favorite actor, or athlete, or best friend, of family member looked deep into your sould and said you will never be anything more than what you are right now. I met my role model for the first time when I was seven years old. The time that I spent with him changed my life forever, he made sacrifices for me that I never could have asked him to make. But slowly all that began to change...the feelings between us increasingly became bitter. Only just recently did the faded connection between us dissapear forever. He said those words mentioned to me above, he told me that I was not as strong as him, and that i was not man enough to make a life for myself and the girl that I love. I've been through some hard times and I've heard some worse things direccted at me, however for some reason, those words coming from him infuriated me beyond any comparison. At that moment I decided that I would prove him wrong, not for the sake of proving him wrong, but to prove to myself that I am the man that I know I am. So i'm never forgetting those words he said, they are my motivation. They are the reminder of not only him, but every person who told me I couldn't do something in my life. I'm no longer living my life to please people, I'm doing everything MY way, and if there are people in my life who don't agree with the way I live my live, I will provide an express lane to the highway out of my life. It is MY life and it is MY rules. I am going to live my life holding the hand of my girl, and together we will make our happy ending.
