im not sure if that matters
a hero can be whatever
trying to be a certain type of person all the type to fit an idea of something sounds difficult
probably debilitating
ive known people that have tried to fit the definition of something
all the time
it does not tend to work
i think a hero just needs to do something heroic
other things dont matter

that's kind of a nice thought.

since anyone as long as they can do a heroic thing is heroic they don't have to be brave or smart or powerful.

i like it.

uh well being some of those things might be helpful
i think most anyone would probably like to be some of those things
and heroic things are probably difficult
otherwise there wouldnt be anything heroic about them

but if theyre already doing heroic things then they must be those things already
so there is no reason to try to be those things

huh. ... maybe. i guess it depends on the hero.

[Not sure if comforting or scary.]

oh then i can understand your worry
i had met someone i considered sort of a hero of mine before
twice actually
two different people
it was all very confusing and intimidating both times but
something i realized was that heroes are normal people that do special things
