Lessons From Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Hate her or love her, agree or disagree, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was/is an iconic character. In the TV series (based on a 90's film), Buffy Summers is the latest in a long line of "slayers" to battle the evil forces in the world. She just wants to live a normal freaking life, go to school, hang out with friends, have a normal boyfriend, but... she's a vampire slayer. Despite her reluctance, she eventually embraces her destiny.

Like Buffy, I too, would prefer to live a normal life. But, lately it seems to be a constant battle of struggling upstream, without a paddle, and a hole in the bottom of my shitty canoe. Am I conquering the "evil forces" of the world? No. However, I am fighting my own inner battles in attempt to discover peace and harmony within myself. I am embracing my own destiny, facing my demons, and slaying the shit out of them, one by one.
