I’m no expert, however, there is one thing I’ve observed about those individuals who save the day: they’re hidden in plain sight-albeit on the theatre screens but nonetheless, superheroes are your everyday, average citizens.
Despite the massive success of Marvel mania, the big screen fails to capture the reality that superheroes are living among us.
Like any superhero the one I’d like to feature experiences what every budding superhero- nay, every person- does: despondency.
Maybe the mirror is unclear behind the cracks of tragedy but let me tell you what I see:
You are who you’ve always been, only more…
I once looked at you as a big sister but I have never admired you more than I do now. When I see the success of your struggle on so many levels. When I see your magical smile that lights up the corners and crevices of this cruel world. When I see that you are human perchance sometimes you feel a little less than whole but it is your ability to heal that makes you a superhero.
Every thing that has happened; every thing that has hurt you, can be used to heal you. You have the super power to save yourself.
I suggest Simon Snow take a step back, with apologies to Rainbow Rowell, because before this superhero saves the world she’s saving herself!
