Bright Muse and the Blue Lantern Corps.
I often thought to myself that if I could be a superhero, then I would call myself "Bright Muse" and that my superpower would be Positive Inspiration; because I'm good at it.
In a world that is perfectly balanced, we may sometimes think to ourselves "why do I have it so tough!" especially when we look around and so many people seem to be living "the good life".
But remember that to strike balance, there are so many delicate factors at hand. Your strength is one of them: Can you carry what's thrown your way? Can you get up and dust yourself off when life hits you like a train? If you think you have it "tough" then chances are you're damn strong to begin with.
Perspective is a gift for those of us who choose to see it. Ironically enough, I'm the one who's been asking the question these days, "why do I have it so tough?!". The answer is: because I'm damn strong and carry the weight to provide balance in the place of another who may not be as strong and is in more need of a break. Their life may depend on it...
When the sun tries to kiss you, don't hide away in your room; go out and live passionately.

Intestinal Fortitude
Sometimes I wish people had a little more vinegar in their piss.
I wasn't born a warrior. Like all mankind, I was a helpless, naked, infant dependent on it's mother to feed it and wipe its ass every time it took a shit. Life shapes and changes the contours of our face. The chubby cherub is molded and squeezed to look the part of who it really is. Have you ever seen a warrior with a babyface?
We, warriors, are pointed at by accusatory fingers of aggressors who can't see beyond our skin. We bleed each day. Internal wounds pronounce themselves, clearly, as smiles on our lips.
In a situation of crisis, everyone has a finger to point; someone to blame.
A warrior is born of two things; truth and intestinal fortitude. Fear weakens a warrior....never concede. Yes, death is a possibility. But, would you rather die a warrior, or someone who betrays their conscience?
We wear warrior marks well. We aspire to live..........and die, having lived well.
