Change, An Unnoticeable Thing.

Most people have their life mapped out ever since they started caring about their future. I on the other hand have been meandering through life ever since I could remember. I never really thought of what I'd do with my life since I've always just got by because of my ability; the only guidance that I had until it turned into my worst nightmare. It was Monday, the worst day of the week. I walked to class where I first discovered it, the ability to read minds. A strand of tumultuous events led me to abuse my powers in a numerous of ways. I used it to manipulate people. I knew what they wanted and I knew how to control them because of it in order to get what I wanted. I felt powerful, but empty. I began to hate myself, the fact that I wasn’t really experiencing life, that I was cheating my way through what most have planned out since the very begging; it made me go into a melancholy far beyond anything that I had experienced before. I realized whom I’d become and that I wasn’t the same person as I once was before. The once innocent kid that was about to graduate became into a horrid young adult, that cheated his way through life. I had changed.
