Heroes:
There are a lot of people that are heroes in my life. There are a few people that I've never met that I look up to and/or have influenced my life. But there are a lot more people that I know that I would consider heroes for the same reason. A lot of them are in my top friends. And I really like those people. Not just the people in my top friends, but everybody. I love everybody and I wish I could see them more often. It's been years since I've seen some people. And I consider them heroes and they might not know it. But I'd like to see them and tell them how much they mean to me. I could go see them right now, because I'm not doing anything important, but I'm not because I think I would bother them because they might be doing something important and I don't want to interrupt or intrude on all the neat things they might be doing. I'd like for them to call me and tell me that they'd like to hang out with me. Because I like hanging out.
