What happens when we learn some of the unspoken truths about our heroes? What happens when we find out that these people aren't really who they're chalked up to be? What are we supposed to do with our lives after we find out the people we have idolized for so long are fake?
Frankly, there's two options. You can give up on your dreams, take the easy way out, and just decide there's nothing worth working towards anymore. It's as easy as that, just let go and let your emotions get the best of you.
Or, you can choose to walk the more difficult, but more rewarding road. You can keep your dreams, foolish as they may seem to you after being crushed. You can follow the path already laid out by your former hero, and then take that one extra step that they were never able to. Change directions ever so slightly and aim to become even better than the person you once looked up on. Draw on that new revelation and surpass your expectations and become your own hero.
But the fact remains, that first path is always so tempting.

I am currently a graduate student studying education and will update my thoughts and experiences here periodically. Though the content of my blog may not always be the most intellectually stimulating, I believe that there is always a lesson to be learned from my posts, even if it's just a nonsensical story. I find poetry in ordinary life experiences and capture what memories I can through my camera's lens. At the end of the day I'm just another regular guy who needs to write his thoughts somewhere, and I hope you get some enjoyment out of my musings.
All of the best,
BK
