I never played the Sonic games as a kid. My introduction to Knuckles was through the Archie comics. And, I could never explain why exactly but, I always felt drawn to him. To this day, that hasn't changed. Only now, my favourite version of everyone's favourite echidna warrior is the movie version. This is the version who has inspired me. He may be known for his physical strength but I see in him strength in all areas: mind, heart, body and soul. He is the epitome of a stoic warrior and he has inspired me to embrace being one in my life. I started exercising regularly for the first time in my life. I'm speaking up for myself a lot more. I'm becoming more active and working towards becoming less socially isolated. And I've been through some tough health issues during which I have drawn strength and comfort from watching him in the movies and TV series. I'm a far better, stronger, and more resilient person now than I was before, and so much of it is because of him inspiring me.

Knuckles spent so much of his life on his own before he met Sonic and Tails. He had no one to look out for him or to take care of him. He had to grow up fast and learn to take care of himself to survive. And look how far he's come! How could I not be inspired by that?

I hope all this doesn't sound too silly. He may just be a fictional character but I know I can't be alone in feeling this way. I've seen how much many of you love and admire him. So tell me, how has Knuckles inspired you in your life? Has he played a part in how you perceive or approach things?

So I made Big gay.....
