The Hero archetype is boring to me. the stereotype hero is the ideal of the conformist who wants to be the hero but cant. its a myth to make us feel better. but it makes me want to gag. pure heros dont exist except in fantasy or religions. i like the antihero not just because he is the opposite of the hero but because he strives to be the outsider. he strives to be unlike anyone. and antiheros are real.

Being left sitting still and waiting for nothing.
Unable to move until it comes.
