SuperWoman




Have you ever felt like a super-hero to your friends or family? If you don't know what I mean by that, let me ask it this way...Have you ever feel like you have to put on a cape, a costume, or simply an "S" on your chest to become SUPERMAN/WOMAN in order to please everyone? Ever felt like you can't say no to someone without feeling guilty, so rather than tell that person no, you bust your butt to please them, no matter what?

I feel like that sometimes. Who am I kidding? I have felt like that most of my life, so I often say "Let me put my S on my chest and I'll be right over." Unfortunately, the sarcasm often goes unrecognized.

I created the above image as a joke, to be silly and let everyone know Super-Ro is now an official Super-Hero, ready to take on the world! I can do it all with little food or sleep. I can do everything off of nothing but adrenaline. Send me your problems and I'll solve them all with no problem.
Not very realistic is it?

Speaking of sending someone your problems, there is a column I like to read on one of my favorite websites, where people write in to tell this anonymous lady their problems with men, friends, marriages, anything you can think of, and it's a really funny column that can get serious when necessary, if a writer asks a serious question. I began sharing those articles weekly with some friends via email and we would all laugh sometimes and sometimes empathize with the person who wrote in because we may have been in a similar situation before. After sharing those articles for months, a few of my friends began asking if I was this lady who was writing the column? I laughed because I had a feeling someone thought it was me, but never really had the guts to ask or accuse me of being that lady. Rest assured people, that lady is not me, but I can't deny that I sometimes wish it was me because I love acting silly and giving crazy advice if the situation presents itself.

You never know, maybe one day I can create a column that will allow me to be an anonymous super-hero to my friends without them knowing it's me. Would I be able to keep my identity a secret? Hmmm...only time will tell...
