When I was younger, I had heroes - people I looked up to because they seemed to embody thinking that made sense to me.

Over the years, I've found I've drifted away from them as I found aspects of their thinking that I disagree with.

This is fine. No two people are the same. It's perfectly natureal to look up to a person and learn from what they say and then, with the benefit of more experience of the world, that they're actually kind've a dick.
