Kinda hard to play the hero when the plot gets erased around you.
Which, I suppose. Suggests I think of myself that way. Nah. Thinking of yourself as the main character is a bit silly. Life is a combination of many people coming and going, and sometimes you're just another person in that. The Hope of a few years ago is not the one of a decade ago, who is not the one of last month or last week or even yesterday. It's the places you've been, the things you experience. That's the real story, you're just the vehicle experiencing it all.
POINT OF ORDER! it's okay if you think of yourself as the main character. i mean, you'd be wrong - *i'm* the main character - but it's allowed.
It's OK you can take the lead boss I'll be the Watson in the background there to make you look more competent
CONFER WITH CO-COUNSEL! yes, you & everybody else i've ever met.
