History...My Hero

History, it all starts with a moment. It does not matter whether it is big nor small. You might not know it but it affects other people and the world. The famous quote that is used constantly is "you learn from your mistakes" but how many people repeat their steps to only be surprised by the exact outcome again?
History, it is neither good nor bad but neutral. Call it Switzerland if you must. A speck of time is a mere particle of dust, old and hanging on to existence. History helps our knowledge and understanding to advance, whether the 'famous' history folks had the intentions to or not, history makes us a believer of hero's and villain's.
There is always a hero in a villain, for example Hitler on the surface is known as a murder (a villain) that killed millions of innocent. However without Hitler psychologists would be unaware of conformity in today's society.
When we are a victim of our own actions and stupidity, we sulk, we cry, we give up a few days and become best friends with the soaps, ben and jerrys and pjs.
"those who forget history, are doomed to repeat it" -george santanaya

The lesson is to remember , but do not dwell on it, the past is what evolves us, the past is what makes us who we are. I see alot of status on facebook about people changing. A phoenix, is a bird decorated with fire in mythology. A phoenix lives alone, from the ashes of the young age, it grows alone, and when it can not cope with any more harm or struggle, it lets the flames engulf itself.....From the ashes of the old bird, a new one is born. This is similar, in order to be a new person, let the past go.


The purpose of my blog is simple, I got asked today of a child no older than four, who is my hero. He was holding a spider man toy, and although he has amazing powers and great movies, as well as popularity. I just nodded in acknowledgement. I was baffled! who was my hero? all these years I have had role models walk out of my life as fast as they came in. Fake promises from family and friends. Strangers helping me. My hero? i would say my mother, Marilyn Wilson. Through all the nineteen years, she has been through so many hard times, and i have never known a stronger women who stands tall and does not utter defeat" She may not have the super strength, or the super speed, or any super power, but as a single parent , she has done her best and gave us everything she could.  When time ticks by and changes the scene, she copes so well, and I just hope that if one day my world tumbles around me and erodes all paths to the known. I would have the same determination and courage to get back on my feet and fight for myself and those closet to me.
