The Thing I Want To Do Most Before I Die
I am a Self-Improvement nut.
As long as I remember I have always enjoyed video games where you level up, get stronger, Role-playing of all kinds and the idea of being the hero of a story.
I loved the stories that had the hero overcome trials, where they were challenged, despaired, and eventually broke out anyway.
As I got older and went into Self-Improvement and Psychology, this side of me only grew stronger.
I knew I could become better even if I did not know what that meant at first.
Today, I think I know, at least in general what it means to me:
I want to become my own hero.
I have worked very hard on myself and on who I am as a person.
Confident, Courageous, Certain, Honorable, Honest, Masculine, Feminine, Emotional, Strong, Desirable, Creative, Successful, Fun, Loving, Caring, Respectful, and Respected.
The more I learned the more I crystallized this idea in my head as to what a Hero was supposed to be, and the more I saw who I used to be and how far I was away from that idea.
The one thing I want to do before I die is to be able to look in the mirror and feel truly proud, with nothing left to become, when I see my reflection.
