Super Me
So I have been thinking, (I know its shocking, bur bear with me.) do I have a superpower? I have come up with the answer, yes I do. I know you guys are probably just face palming or shaking your head going "Joshua, give it up man, you don't have a super power and you can't get one by getting bit by something radioactive." I'm not talking about anything from a comic book. I may not be able to fly, shoot webs, or have super strength but I do have one super power that I think tops them. I have a power to be super positive, I can take any situation and add humor, sometimes I only get the joke but thats fine, at least I'm laughing. I for years have known that I am a positive person, on Operation Barnabas I was known for being positive. When I took a strength test quiz for school my top strength was positivity. So today I had an epiphany, I have a super power. One of my favorite quotes is "Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for the shall never cease to be amused." I take this quote to heart, because I find myself laughing at myself all the time. I will admit it, I'm weird. (I know that just shocked you off your chair) I find myself scratching my head at my antics, but I laugh at them. One thing I am amused at is that for some reason, if someone states even a line similar to a song, the song will suddenly loop through my head and if anyone asks me a question, if it can be answered in a song I will sing it. This is just one weird quirk about me, I'm sure you people know a lot more. I like to think that I am looking through a telescope from the other end at the random and weird world we call home. This allows me to see the world differently and see all the little funny details people miss in day to day life. Laughter is best passed on to others, thats why I will often tells jokes. Laughter to me its contagious, one thing I like catching all the time. So what does this have to do about super powers? Well how many people do you know like me?..... Yep, like a thought, not many if not none. I am one in few that has this gift, I am super positive. Now I don't simply take all the credit, I myself have to find strength in God to find my humor, and find my humor dwindle when I'm not reading the bible each day. I today claim that positivity is a super power, because it is hard to find humor in this world. I see people that look like a haven't laughed in weeks all around me. Like how people in the comic books where scared about the X-men, I am sure I scare and confuse many people with my positivity. Positivity scares others, because quite frankly the don't see it to often. Magazines are littered with top ways to have a positive life, to have a successful life. Its what everyone is trying to find. For some reason, (maybe because I hit my head when I was a baby) I have the gift of positivity. I am a superhero, trying to save people from depression and sadness through humor and stupidity. True i'm not like superman, spider-man, or any of your favorite superheroes. As I read in many comic books, superheroes have a heck of a lot of problems. why would I want to do anything they do if I can find joy and help others find it to? So you will never see me swing from building to building, fly over your head or pick up a car, but I will hopefully always greet you with positivity, and hopefully bring laughter through my jokes or stupidity.
