Boy, girl, transgender, whoever. Make me feel your love for them. Use as much space as you want. I will read them all. | You know what? He is horrible!
He smiles at everyone! Even at other girls!

Dear diary
I really need someone to talk to, since no one likes me, they say I wasn't worthy of these powers. My powers are... They aren't constant. Sometimes, it's a protective barrier to save people, other times, it's being superior to others. Sometimes, it changes with my mood, other times, my thoughts The... | 2019-09-08T10:15:10 | 2019-09-08T08:42:34 | 228 | 112 |

I've reconciled broken families.
I've ended addiction to opioids.
I've made suicide irrelevant.
