We all know that superheroes have hidden identities. Clark Kent is really Superman. Peter Parker is Spiderman. Bruce Wayne is Batman. Diana Prince is Wonder Woman. These people (who aren't real at all) have secret identities, but they keep them hidden to protect themselves. It's all part of their job. I don't know about all you out in cyberspace, but I can tell you that I do not know of any superheroes in this life, at least none that need a secret identity (I consider teachers, doctors, and my friends all superheroes, but they are real people just doing their jobs).
So, if there are no true superheroes with any superpowers like flying or scaling tall buildings in a single jump, why do people put on a front. What is it about society today that makes a person go out of their way to impress others with something that they are not. Now, I am by no means a perfect person, and am probably guilty of doing that same thing, but I cannot stand to be something that I am not. God made me the way I am and I enjoy who I am. If you have a problem with that, too bad. I know that I have real friends who will love me for who I am, not what I act like around certain people.
It's really funny when I think about it. I mean, you meet someone who seems to be wonderful. They are friendly, funny, and seem to be an all-around cool person who I could really enjoy hanging out with. Then, they show their true colors and make a complete ass of themselves. I'm a pretty good judge of character, but when something like that happens it blows my mind.
I am a very open person once I get to know someone. It takes a very long time for me to truly trust a person, but when I do, I can be very open. When a person who I trust makes an ass of themselves and throws something I have told them in my face (completely misinterpreting my words), I get incredibly upset because it makes me feel as though I have lost my good judgment.
I guess the whole point of this little rant is just BE REAL. Be true to yourself and make yourself proud. Who do you really need to impress?? If you can be proud of who you are and confident that people will like you, then you can and will make friends--true friends. Geek--now I'm starting to sound like Stuart Smalley (from Saturday Night Live). So, in honor of his sketches, I will end with this...
"I can do it because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it... People like me!"
