Our kryptonite

Just got back from the cinema after watching the new Superman movie. It’s been a while since I’ve seen anything in this genre, but I really liked it.

It nailed the mix of action and humor, strength and vulnerability. In many ways, it was a super(hu)man story.

Sure, the whole “it’s only human to make mistakes” thing might sound cliché. But that doesn’t make it less true.

We mess up, we regret things, and we miss chances that were right at our feet. It’s human. We all do it, again and again.

But we forget…

We think we’re alone in this, but we’re not. Not even close. That’s called growth.

The little voice in our head saying otherwise? That’s our kryptonite.

We do, we don’t. We live, we learn. And even without a cape — life’s still pretty fly.
