I'm not like everyone else. I've never been normal. Ever since I was little, I've struggled to fit in. Over my long 26 years of life, I've realized that different is a good thing. Just not in my case. I've been called a freak, monster, demon, and witch. In my opinion I'm not any of those things. In someone else's eyes, I can see why I've earned those names.

Ever since I was little I've had powers. I can control and generate electricity. I can also read minds and move things with my mind. My parents have always supported me; that's really helped me get used to my powers. As I've gotten older, I've been able to control my powers more and more. My emotions are an influence on my powers, if I'm happy I can be in complete control over my powers, if I'm angry my powers can go haywire. I try to be in control of my emotions all the time but sometimes it can be difficult.

I've always struggled to find a job. No one wants to hire a person with weird powers, every time I apply for a job the person hiring me always finds out about my powers. I don't know why it's such a big deal that I have these powers, but I guess I just have to deal with it. My powers have made my life difficult but I still love having them, they're a part of me. I've never dated anyone, everyone in high school and college called me a freak. Not very many men were eager to ask me on a date. I'm clueless when it comes to normal things that people my age do. I've never really had many friends either due to my powers.

I was ready to start a new chapter in my life, I wanted to find a good job and find someone that would love me for me, powers and all. I hadn't found either of those things yet, but I knew I'd find them soon. I just hoped things would get better for me, but for now I'll just go about living my life.
