No Superman

Has anyone (if anyone is there) seen Scrubs, the television show?




I have to say that Scrubs is one of my favorite shows because it was introduced to me by my older sister, Marissa. In the theme song, the last line is "I'm no superman" and we always used to sing it while doing ridiculous dance motions.
I thought of this line tonight. As I was trying to recall my number one fear, I realized it was disappointing others. Most of my actions are pretty selfish in life, even though the intentions are selfless. But most of the time, I try to please others above myself. Even if this sometimes ends up hurting myself in the end.
The near end of high school is making me realize all that I have done while at Central. I have been involved in many programs, led quite a few, improved some, and enjoyed all of them. But this year, as my interests dwindled, I realized I couldn't and shouldn't do everything. I love to serve others, but what benefit is it to others if I am hurting myself in the process. I have had a very relaxing year due to my delegation of responsibilities, but I still have an underlying fear.



It's impossible to keep in contact with all of my friends. Occasionally, they will text, facebook, or call. I tend to push some aside if I am busy and never get back to them. I know I am at a busy time in my life, but if I can't keep in contact with my friends now, how will I ever when we all spread to a lot of different places?



I guess I need to come to an understanding that I, solely, cannot please everyone. And I, solely, cannot do everything. I'm NO super(wo)man.


But I want to.

Is it the thought that counts?

Maybe not...
