Hello everyone. This picture is from less than 5 minutes ago. I just took it, so excuse the quality, but it's relevant to what I'm posting about. Good time or not, I had a very real conversation a few days ago and I wanted to make this post while it was all still fresh in my mind. It might get a little weird, but bear with me. My other self wasn't human. She looked human, and she lived on Earth, but she was an alien with some extremely powerful abilities. Some of these abilities have been granted to me. She adopted Earth as a home after hers was destroyed, and acted as some sort of protector. In short, she was a superhero, and she was a pretty good person for doing that in my book. It is increasingly becoming clear that people with superpowers were not that unusual in that world, but here they are. Because of that, she had people around to temper her, hold her accountable when she screwed up, on top of her own morality. However, I am not the same person she was, and the situation is different. I don't think we have a superhero police force or anything. I'll freely admit I've begun wondering if I really am human anymore, too. I do not think it is a bad thing, because I am still possessing humanity, and I don't think that I'm going to cause trouble, but I want to make myself accountable in some way. Hence this post. I can fly, I'm incredibly strong and fast, and I was hit by a bus the other day and as you can see, I'm not dead. I don't want to make it a secret that I have powers, and I don't want to avoid talking about them publicly because if I screw up, I want it obvious that it was me. I do not want to hide them, because hiding them creates the temptation for abusing them, and knowing that you are informed will help too. So, this is me informing you all, and offering assistance. John's volunteer force is good, but if you need help with something on an individual level please ask. My father always said that helping others is a way to keep yourself grounded in reality, and with all these changes, I really need that. And if you have powers of your own, and want to use this post to talk about or share them, that's fine too.
