"Hamartia: the character flaw or error of a tragic hero that leads to his downfall."
I wonder what mine will be.
My stubbornness?
My inability to say or hear the word no?
My refusal to apologize?
My difficulty expressing emotion honestly?
My fear of not being good enough?
I obsessively fear my inevitable downfall. I search for the fatal flaw within me, and in doing so tear myself apart. Perhaps that itself is the flaw: a pursuit of unattainable perfection.
