If I Could Have One Superpower, It Would Be This

My answer is probably not what you’re expecting!

You must have been asked this countless times throughout your life.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

I often contemplate this question because I have nothing better to do than imagine.

Conjuring up scenarios where I’m Spider-man, Wolverine, or even a Saiyan from Dragon Ball Z.

How awesome would it be to have Wolverine's powers, just a badass with a healing factor? I could live for centuries!

Imagine being able to do a Kamehameha to all the bad guys in the world and get rid of all the scum that pollutes this planet.

These are all childish endeavours, though.

Dreams are meant to be broken.

We’re meant to snap out of it. Snap back to reality.

Let gravity bring you back to earth as it was intended.

As I’ve grown older and more mundane, I’ve come to dread not villains or schemers.

There's one thing I need to fight and one that keeps me up at night.

My bank account.
