Thank You, Pat

What does it mean to be a super hero?

Sometimes it is just someone that does the right thing, consistently, for his friends, family and community.

Hello, friend. God, that’s always been lame, hasn’t it?

Sorry I never came up with a better name for you. Then again, I don’t even have a name.

Just a guy trying to play God without permission. You told me once that this would be a black void, absolute nothingness.

Is that true?

This whole time, I thought changing the world was something you did, an act you performed, something you fought for.

I don’t know if that’s true anymore.

What if changing the world was just about being here, by showing up no matter how many times we get told we don’t belong, by staying true even when we’re shamed into being false, by believing in ourselves even when we’re told we’re too different?

And if we all held on to that, if we refuse to budge and fall in line, if we stood our ground for long enough, just maybe

The world can’t help but change around us.

Even though we’ll be gone, it’s like Mr. Robot said. We’ll always be a part of Elliot Alderson.

And we’ll be the best part, because we’re the part that always showed up.

We’re the part that stayed.

We’re the part that changed him.

And who wouldn’t be proud of that?
