The Hero you are
What exactly is a hero? We have examples of them everywhere, but these examples, in my opinion, are very narrow. They often imply that a hero makes no mistakes or has no faults. The only flaws they have are being too generous, holding the whole world up that they forget about the moon. That's probably why most hero's or legends have to be exposed to a supernatural idea, setting, or privilege.

The Detour
There are no words to describe the beauty of the vast openness of an empty road, a dim glowing horizon and a sky full of stars. Even better is the sunset right before the nothingness, where you can discover brand new colors no one has ever seen before. My story starts here on an empty road, in the southwest, headed from Los Angeles, CA to El Paso, TX at the end of a one of a kind sunset. I was taking a route my grandfather once traced out for me on a map he must have bought in the 60s. It was one of my most prized possessions especially during this particular time and I was clinging to it like I had never taken this road before. With the map in hand, I mentally marked down every city I passed. With each evaluation of my journey Id imagine his voice saying things like,”When you’re headed out of Arizona and if you have about an hour to spare, take I80 south after Benson to Tombstone and check out the OK Corral”. But I was never one to stray off my course and thought it foreign for me to start now, so I drove on down my planned path. I had the radio off listening to nothing but the consistent swishing sound of the tires on the road and the memories that flooded my mind. Subconsciously, I was reevaluating myself, my choices, life direction and how I lived my life in general.
