Regarding this week's episode

[hotheadedsavior]

That... wasn't cool. I'm grateful that Tenzin understands how I'm feeling but still - I don't know what I'm going to do. This is no time to be stuck in your headspace but I'm kinda relieved to be here at the moment. I'm scared. People want so much from me. Everyone is looking to me to save the Benders but - I don't think I can. I'm not strong enough to do it on my own and yet I feel like I should be. I'm the Avatar - I'm supposed to be a leader. How can I lead when all I want to do is run home and go back to my life in the Southern Water Bender Tribe?

I don't want to be the Avatar anymore. I want to be a regular person or a regular Bender. I wish I was a nobody. If I were a nobody I wouldn't have all these people relying on me - all these people I might end up letting down.

And Mako. I just - I don't know how to feel. I thought we were getting closer - I mean, not that I wanted to or anything - but now he's got this other girl. I guess if she's more his type then I'm definitely not his type.

Is everyone expecting you too? I mean, have they come right out and said it?

[hotheadedsavior]

It feels like it. Every time I speak to the press they're asking about how I will help the city or comparing me to Avatar Aang. And then on the radio and in the newspapers - everyone is making a big deal out of me and I'm not even finished with my training yet. I'm not used to having so much attention focused solely on me. I thought I would enjoy all the attention but I'm not.

[bookbender]

I don't think it's fair of them to compare you to him. You might be the Avatar, but you're two different people.



And at least no one's trying to kill you for something the Avatar did in a past life, just because you're the Avatar.
