Is there someone you highly respect and idolize in your life?
The thought of them fills your heart with nothing but joy and inspiration.
They're a great person! They may be hardworking, brave or resilient as f*ck! Maybe they're just an upstanding and unwavering person. 

You sit and wonder all these great things about them and forget that every person carries a shadow.
Chances are your hero is someone else's villain.
The person you admire with such high regard probably hasn't been that way their whole life.
They had to go through a lot of personal growth, which often comes with hurting others, facing their own darknesses within and moving forward. 

Your hero probably wasn't always a hero.
Your hero, most likely was a piece of sh*t for some period(s) in their life who decided to change that.
You probably have a hero because in some way you're a piece of shit too, and you wanna clean up.
Being sh*tty sometimes is part of being human.
What matters is moving forward with good intentions and scrubbing up, so that you don't smear other people's lives with your poop.
