[Network journal post, written around 6 am, shortly after returning to her room. She finally fell asleep shortly therafter and all responses will happen Saturday afternoon. Directly following this post. And no, there's no paper!]
i have psychology as an independent study and for a paper i want to do something about how our powers ties into us as people, especially from a psychological standpoint. i'm sure it has been done to death and all already but i haven't looked closely at it before so maybe you can humour me if you want or just skip this one.
filter it if you want, or don't if you don't mind other people reading, it's up to you.
a few questions:
how would you feel if you lost your power? would it change how you see yourself? would you want it back? and if your first instinct is to say NO, with no hesitation, think about it. would you really? is there nothing about it that makes you, you? nothing that has made you who you are today?
would you give all that back? every single thing?
and once it was gone, what do you think you would feel? relief? sadness? confusion? happiness? would you miss it?
