If I had a superpower, my life would surely get better.
I watched this movie about a newcomer to a Catholic prep high school who joins a trio of outcast adolescent girls who practice witchcraft. They soon conjure up various spells and curses against individuals who annoy them. Long story short, most of them did not use their powers wisely.

Growing up, I’ve heard a lot of words such as… “I wish I took that job… I wish I had more money… I wish I could be more beautiful than this…I wish I had a superpower such as go back in time and fix this…. I wish I could have all those wishes, and my life would be perfect.” Well, not perfect, but at least better than this.
This movie and those wish absolutely reflects what happens in my life. While I expect and wish I had more, would it really feel better? Would life get better? Until I get what I wish for, would it satisfy me? I was thinking about all those unfulfilled wishes by myself.
And then another part of me questions… How about the other side? How about the other side of life which brings me to my kind of people, going to beautiful places, and making memories with them? How about those moments of sadness, fear, loneliness, feeling unworthy, heartbreak, being out of cash… the inconveniences that humble me?
What if the moment when I wish for more, it was just me who was not ready to deserve more? I think only God knows the answer, and I? I might get the answer later. Now, I just have to keep going with my life.
