so this chickie I was listening to about your own personal myths suggests that you can write a new alternate ending for your myth....
I would like to offer one version:
"Superwoman, tired from her daily battles with the forces of evil, particularly her arch enemy Lex Luthor, returned one evening to her fortress of solitude and contemplated some of the decisions that she had made in her life. Was it really all that important that she wear that spandex outfit, and fill it out just so? She wondered what was missing from her long term relationship with superman, and where they might have lost one another along the way. She wondered if her epic battles with Lex Luthor were in reality battles with aspects of herself. She turned to her super-cat and asked him, "What's it all about Alfie?", although she knew that even super-cats couldn't speak, at least not English.
She at last decided that it was too much trouble to reverse time, and attempts to do so would ultimately end in more sorrow. It might be an exercise in futility, like attempting to climb Mt. Kryptonite. It would only sap her strength further. She thought to herself : I've come a long way..all the way from planet Krypton. I've leapt tall buildings in a single bound, I've traveled faster than a locomotive, but my greatest accomplishments are not the ones you might read about in the daily planet. This cape can be a lot of trouble in fact........I can't think a suitable ending, CRAP! Feel free to wrap this up if desired ;-)
