You Will Soar

“The thing that makes women strong is that we have the guts to be vulnerable, we have the ability to feel the depth of our emotion, and we know we’re going walk through it to the other side. And by the way you have accomplished great things this year…You my dear are on a hero’s journey, like Joseph Campbell would say. And yes, you hit an obstacle but you will soar right over just like I would.” -Cat Grant, Supergirl season 2 episode 22.

“Small World” by Idina Menzel is playing in the background as Cat Grant gives Kara the advice she needs to get over something big. I don't know what brought my chain of thought down the path that it did.

We are taught that we need to protect people from the worst parts of ourselves, but how do we really know what the worst parts of ourselves are. When it comes to describing things, worst is semantical. I feel like we use this as an excuse for ourselves, we are too scared to take the jump into the unknown and let our fears of what we think we are tether us to the edge. It is not until we cut that tether that we will be able to move forward, to be able to make the jump into the next unknown point in our lives. We aren’t afraid of ourselves, we are afraid of the uncomfortable turbulence that change seems to bring.  

I'm not sure if this is my way of telling myself that everything will be ok, despite missing my best friend like crazy while they are off working in another state and all the crap that they went through before they left. They will be ok. All of my fears, inadequacies, and pains won't be able to stop me. I will be able to be like Cat Grant and Supergirl and soar over any obstacle just like they would.
