Secret identities

Everybody has a secret identity, but not everybody is Batman.

I'm not sure if this was something incredibly witty that I came up with, or if I just saw it somewhere else and am just now remembering it. Either way, I like it a lot. I can count so many times where I have just wondered off inside my head, inside my own little world and pretended to be, well, super. I liked Christian Bale long before he became Batman, and it all started with an old musical called Newsies. Such a great movie, and still a classic favorite of mine. (I could even sing you all the songs word for word). But today I couldn't help but think of a quote from that movie, it goes something like this.
David: "All those words you said, those were mine."
Jack: "Yeah but you never had the guts to put em' across yourself, did ya?"
Those words were true back then, and they are still true today. Sometimes it's easier to say things when we know people don't know who we are, what we've done, where we've come from, or anything like that. Sometimes it's hard to own up to your own words, and admit that you wrote/thought/spoke them. I guess that's what makes a secret identity so great. I know in my head, I always imagine myself braver, and more courageous to speak up and say what I want to say. In my head I don't stutter or stumble over my words, but instead I speak them out clearly and strongly, and I actually get my point across. Instead of imagining though, I need to start practicing in real life. It won't be easy, but then again the things that are hard, are the ones worth fighting for.
