As a little girl, I lived for Halloween. (Oh, who am I kidding? As an adult – I still do). This was one of my favorite costumes as a kid (thanks, mom and dad) and I wanted to be Supergirl every day of the year. Looking back at this picture, it’s easy to see why: superheroes were larger-than-life figures who made us believe that anything was possible. And after watching the new Superman trailer that dropped today, I’m reminded of just how much we need that sense of hope, especially now.
In a world that can often feel dark and overwhelming, superheroes remind us that even in our toughest moments, there’s always the possibility of good triumphing over evil. Superman might be flying high above the clouds, but his message is simple and grounded: hope, courage, and the belief that we can all be heroes in our own way.
Whether you’re fighting for justice like Superman or just trying to get through a tough week, we all have moments when we need a little extra inspiration. Maybe it’s remembering that small acts of kindness are the real superpowers, or that standing up for what’s right can change the world—no matter how big or small the action.
Superheroes are more than just capes and special powers. They’re about rising above, showing resilience, and believing in something bigger than yourself. And right now, I think we could all use that reminder.
So here’s to the heroes, both real and fictional, who remind us that it’s okay to be human, to struggle, and to keep fighting for the greater good. Whether you’re donning a cape or just showing up for someone when they need it most, you’re making a difference.
