"Have you ever felt like...the world around you is just moving too fast....  So fast...it's rare you could; even get time to grow attached to someone? But by the time you do and actually take the time to realise you're in acceptance of that,  it's too late?"
I sigh, my breathes feebly hitching at the words which fell so painfully from my mouth. 
                          
"There's this crippling weight pressing down on my chest. no matter where I go or what I do that weight creeps into my surroundings and practically rings my neck." Dr. Linda continues to listen intently, as I continue
                          
"I know that no matter how hard I pray my life isn't just going to go back to normal. In fact, I've been here so long that I'm starting to forget what normal even looked like...or..felt like."
                          
"My daughter, is almost literally seen every day I mean. I see her everywhere I go...but I don't know how to cope with it so I just shove the emotion away." 
                          
"You see that's your problem right there." Dr. Martin interjects and I paused. "What? That I shove my emotions away? I can't just tell people how I feel." I responded bluntly.
                          
"Why, do you feel the need to shove your emotions away? What sort of impact are you afraid of that would drive you to fear sharing your feelings?" I shuffled my feet, at a short loss of words.
                          
I pursed my lips, "I'm scared...you know what, scratch that. I'm bloody terrified of what is to happen in my future. I try so hard to keep things the exact same- Everyday I would wake up and do the exact same thing, but different things in my life just kept happening out of nowhere. It's hard to keep track anymore, and I'm beginning to lose my patience." I glance down at my hands- which quiver but still remain folded together- and glanced back up.
                          
"What if I share my feelings? And someone uses that against me? How do I know I can trust people in this dimension?"
                          
"Is it really trust you're worried about? Or is it something else? How do you know you can trust anybody unless you try? You know; Trusting yourself should be your first priority." I stare down at my hands once more. "I've tried to trust people. I have trusted you....I'm surprised you're not sending me to an insane asylum with some of the things I've confronted you about." My voice cracked. I gave her a warm smile.
                          
"Well, believe it or not i may have had my share of run ins with celestial beings, but therapy is meant for everyone. Including people like you." That made me feel somewhat better, until my gaze settled on the clock. "Oh, it's 4. I didn't really notice how late it had gotten. Thank you so much for the help Dr. Martin." "please, call me Linda." She insists smiling. "I'll see you tomorrow, Marcy." She smiles nodding 
me off.

As I walked through the Busy streets of LA I couldn't help but ponder about my Existence.
                          
My powers are getting stronger by the day, seemingly evolving. But now matter how many different powers I earn, I'm always going to miss my wings. I sigh, wandering off behind the border of my mind, and before I could lose myself any farther a truck bolts down the street at high speed.
                          
A river of blue and red followed close by, "STOP THE CAR IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!!!" The roaring police made my ears sting.
                          
I moved my gaze Over to the speeding truck. I narrowed my eyes, and decided; I'm bored out of my fucking mind. So being the bored, She-Devil that I am, I teleport To it's passenger seat.
                          
I felt my current surroundings subside, as I reappeared In a smaller, and more compacted area. My chest had gotten tighter at the feeling. Using so much power at once wasn't exactly helping either.
