special powers

When i was around 8 or 9 i had been to the clinic and i had an eye test.
My eyes weren't too good but i didn't need glasses and i had been told i had rugby shaped eyes which is uncommon.
Everyone i knew had round eyes.

So for about a year i went round pretending i had special eyes and when ever a car went past i would look inside the car window and kinda open my eyes really wide and see there future (Like Neji out of Naruto the anime.. if u have seen it.) and the drivers would just give me a weird look.

Then one day my brother tried doing it but i told him u cant do it because u have round eyes so then he faked to my mum that he needed an eye test.
So off we go to the clinic again and guess what... there was nothing wrong with his eyes but he had rugby shaped eyes.
I was so jealouse so i thought whats the point in having a special power if someone who u see everyday has the same one.

So as i got older as now im 16 i thought wow them drivers must of thought i was weird haha.

I wish i had powers

When I was younger I honestly though that I could make a shrinking machine with my Receiver, VCR & a Microphone.

When I was a year old, I believed if I hid my face, my mother couldn't see me because I couldn't see her.

i used to wish for special powers all the time... pretending...
my brother told me he could fly, become invisible, lift refridgerators,... etc...

I used to believe that, since the only major visible difference between Superman and any other person was the cape, that his powers came as a result from that. I was also pretty sure that that tight feeling in my stomach that happened if I tripped a little going down the stairs quickly was what flying felt like.

So, putting two and two together, I thought that if I had enough speed and tripped going down the stairs while wearing my Superman cape from Halloween, I could sustain the flight indefinitely like Superman himself.

Luckily I was always too scared to really try it.

When I was little I used to believe my dad could grow a beard at will. That he could go upstairs fully shaven and come down and have a full beard.

I used to believe that I could fly. No reason behind it, I just really thought I could and that I had to keep it a complete secret.

You know the rays of light that you can see when you look at a lightbulb and squint your eyes? Well, when I was little I used to think those beams of light were the light's powers and if I held my hands up to it, their power/energy would be transfered to me. I stopped doing this when my aunt asked me what I was doing in front of everyone. xD

When I was little, one of my favorite movies was Kiki's Delivery Service. I used to think I was a witch just like Kiki, and I kept trying to fly on a broom. I thought it didn't work because my powers hadn't developed yet.

After I heard about dog whistles, I tried to see how high I could make my voice go. To my surprise, I could go up to a certain pitch and suddenly I couldn't go any higher- I thought I could make sound that was too high for a human to hear. I wen't around bragging about not needing dog whistles, and I didn't stop until I realized how stupid I must seem, based on peoples reactions.

I believed that when I was in the shower and I pressed really hard against my eyes for ages with my fists that when I opened my eyes I could briefly see into the "other realm" where there were Ghosts and such.

Unfortunatly I never saw any Ghosts in my bathroom and by the time I had ran out of the bathroom to see if there were Ghosts in any other part of the house my eyes had returned to normal. I'm not sure why I never tried doing that outside of the shower.

i used to think everyone but me could read other peoples minds and that if i thought anything horrible about anyone the police would get me XD

I used to belive my mom had a crystal ball that she could look into and see what I was doing whenever she wanted

i belive till 7 years old that my father see throught the walls (he know what I done when he back from work,). I never think that my mum told him what i was doing.

Ok I still belive this sometimes and I'm 14 now but since i was probably 4 or I've belived that the adults in my family could read anyones mind. And I thought that it was like our family secret (like off of sabrina the teenage witch) and i would learn how to do it when i got older.

Waiting for the red pill

I used to believe that if children weren't in bed by 7 o'clock, the wolf, the fox and the bear could come to your house and take you, even if you were hiding and/or your parents wanted to keep you.

When I was little, I believed that IF I BELIEVED HARD ENOUGH, I could fly! I tried many times, (mostly jumping into snowbanks from several feet up, so I wouldn't hit the hard ground). and fell down as many. I concluded that I just wasn't believing in myself enough. I spent many hours trying to figure how how to believe harder. Never worked.
