If you want to change something in your life, what would it be and why? This question had been circulating since the very beginning. Where man had known knowledge and language.

Until today, the ratio of this statement remains null, because people still don't know what they would change or maybe they are afraid of the consequences when we wish for something that will transform our lives. And above all, change is constant at some point.

There are tons of different answers as to what an individual wished to alter. Some would say, they will change their past life to avoid the painful experience of their current and future life. Some say: they want to undo what is done. Different versions, different options and opinions, different agenda and all circles to the word 'change', because that is the question.

In another way, some would say they don't need to change something in their life. They are content despite the pain, the pleasure and the rollercoaster emotions in every step they make towards a meaningful life. Others might say: Living life with a pinch of regrets and happiness is remarkable. We are human beings, and living beings are prospects of both good and bad.

Changing things will result in infinite damnation. Decisions are bound with different sets of results. For instance, when a man decides to steal then his life will forever be bound to robbery, no matter what decisions he chooses after that. We are bound with constant change, and people make use of it to carry on every day.

Change is already given. Everyone can do that, every day, every time, and if they are breathing, things will continue to change. But, to change something in your life is not as simple as it seems. Because if you are to change something, the probability that this harms your future will be greater than you can imagine. And not knowing what lies ahead makes us uneasy.

If I were to answer that question. I only want one thing to change in my life: I want to be normal. And to do that, I wished to get rid of something. And if getting that out of me will change my whole life, I will bet everything just to achieve it.

It might be common. Everyone wishes to be normal, to be ordinary. Away from speculation of the mass, away from the eyes of envious beings, and away from harm. Everyone wants to live an ordinary life; to experience the beautiful scenery of green fields and vast ocean; to live without overthinking what is going to happen once you lose control of it; and, to be able to make memories.

I am deprived of two of them. I do remember how it felt to feel the breeze of clean air while sitting at the green land of the province. How it felt to feel the warm and coldness of the ocean as it slips on my fingers. I do have a few memories worth to treasure, but it is not enough.

Being normal means, I am prone to feel hurt, pain, happiness and sorrow. Being one, means to walk freely in the crowd without fearing what will happen. An ordinary life with ordinary goals. I do have a lot of things to do but am deprived of pushing them to be real. Because I must be careful. Not just for my safety, but for the sake of those around me.

My name is Mishanielle Mionette Marvel. I am also known as Misha Marvel. Seventeen years of existence, and all those years I spent, were just lurking in the shadow of my very own fear. That one day, my own mind will overthrow me.

Not like the others. I am gifted, or maybe cursed. My father didn't explain the origin of this vile creature inside me, and not that I didn't ask but he avoided the question for years as I remember.

Since back then, I can feel I am different. I'm not normal, that I have an obscure identity. Simula pagkabata hanggang namulat ako sa kakayahan ko, hindi nawawala ang takot at pangamba na maaari akong makasakit ng ibang tao. I am trained to be careful of what I do, to take precautions before I take a step beyond the boundary.
