I'm just gonna go ahead and put this out there:
There are no knights in shining armor.
Sorry, ladies, but you wouldn't want them anyway. They would be all sweaty and gross under all that metal.
There are, however, knights in v-necks. Heroes in Toms. Soldiers in skinny ties. There are real guys out there who are fighting for good, in a normal, down-to-earth-way.
Those who put on their work clothes every morning and head out, treating everyone they meet to a sweet smile and a healthy dose of grace, no matter how they treat him.
Ones who wear Clark Kent glasses but inside have the resilient heart of a superhero, that would firmly stand by, and quietly defend, those who are hurting.
Some who may themselves be suffering, but decide to overlook their pain in order to teach others how to heal.
A few who have had dark pasts, but choose to look at the beauty in the everyday, and always have an encouraging word to say to someone.
Some of them are quiet but would fight to the end if someone they loved were threatened.
Some of them are loud but inside they care more than anyone else you know, you just have to look for it.
Unassuming, but powerful. Goofy, but grounded. Talent in a plain wrapper. Peace underneath the swagger.
We are all more than we seem to be on the surface.. it's worth the time to dig deeper into those around you that you think you may know. There's probably a lot more to them than you ever realized.
