If anyone ever asks you , the answer is , YES ! By definition , Wonder Woman is a fictional character who also happens to be a demigoddess , a warrior princess , and an all-around BADASS ! Her weapons include a Lasso of Truth ( imagine being able to whip that out in an argument ), a pair of magical indestructible bracelets , and a tiara that can be used as a projectile .

About the Author

Her goal in life is to fight for justice , love , peace , and even GENDER EQUALITY !
Okay , I get it . You are now asking yourself , “ How could I ever consider myself in the same category , let alone the same universe , as Wonder Woman ?”
The answer to this question is VERY SIMPLE !
Take a moment and think about the mere fact that Wonder Woman is a fictitious character . When something is fictitious it means it is made up , created , or invented from the depths of one ’ s imagination . Fiction can be a platonic conception of who you desire to be , who you wish to become , or how you see yourself in the world .
Therefore , if the character called Wonder Woman is a fictitious creation that spreads messages of empowerment , strength , and , badassery , then why can ’ t WE create who we want to be ? Why can ’ t we create our own version of Wonder Woman and live it ?
What is it that YOU WANT TO FIGHT FOR IN LIFE ? What will be YOUR LEGACY ? What kind of life WILL YOU LIVE ?
Will you take on monumental world problems and fight crime ? Or will you create a positive life for yourself , your family , and your friends through your actions !
Create YOUR SUPERHERO ! Identify YOUR VIL- LAINS ! Attain YOUR WEAPONS ! ( And by weapons I mean …. Truth , Strength , Determination , Willpower , etc …..)
The world is YOURS FOR THE TAKING ! Create YOUR story ! Be a Wonder Woman !
