mandaSMASH's blog: "And now, a word from our sponsor."

Admiration and disappointment seem to go hand in hand. We all look up to others in our lives.. whether it’s to a role model, work superior, or family member.. because we feel honored to be beside a great mind, display of ethic, or big heart. What we need to be prepared for is that, no matter how much we admire them, there’s always a chance we’ll be disappointed. We can only perceive others to be mighty wizards for so long before we realize they’re just as human as the rest of us.

It’s a risk we’ve all taken. It’s probably a risk in progress. It’s a risk most of us will continue to take.

Be careful who you allow to be put up on a pedestal, and be just as cautious if someone puts you on one. In the end, we’re all standing behind curtains, and the ride back to Kansas is a lonely one.

[I actually posted this in my other blog this morning 'cause I can get to that one from my phone. Sometimes when things are on your mind, you have to get the words out right away. I just figured I'd post it here, too.]
