If all of a sudden I got the ability to change anything I wanted.

7 Things I Would Do If I Had Magic Powers

In This Article:

Almost everyday something happens or I think of something that I desperately wish I could just wave my finger and make better. Sadly this is not how life works but a girl can dream. If I could control or fix anything in my life or for the people around me, this is what I would do.

1. Heal myself and others.

Between my struggle with Lyme disease and anxiety, every day I pray for it all to just magically go away. Enough with all of the appointments and enough with the worry. I dream of a day where I wake up and feel no pain and not one negative thought races through my mind. If I could change anything, first I would make myself completely physically and mentally healthy.

Being able to heal the people close to me would be even better. I would never have to worry about them getting sick, because I could fix them just like that.

2. Protect the people I love.

I worry way too much about something bad happening to the people I care about. If I had magic powers I would put a protective spell over all of my friends and family that protects them from anything hurting them. The only way they would die would be through old age, when it comes their time.

3. Get rid of all bad people.

Something I would enjoy doing is ridding the world all of the people who make it a scary place. All of the racists, killers and animal/child abusers would evaporate into thin air. There is no need for people like that and the world would be a much better place without the fear and pain they induce. I wonder what a world without them would be like.

4. Bring back people who went too soon.

I do believe that everyone has their time but I know a lot who died too young. I would go back in time and change what I needed to to keep them here. Losing someone close to you hurts and I know how it can affect the people who loved them. I would choose to stop that pain.

5. Make everyone I care about happy.

I pray most nights and when I do, I say "Please keep them all safe, healthy and happy." referring to the special people in my life. I say happy because I feel that it is just as important as being healthy and safe. I hate to see my parents, sisters or boyfriend upset or anxious. If I had any control over that, I would make them happy all of the time. Not cocky or obnoxious, just peacefully happy inside.

6. Be able to talk to animals.

If I could talk to animals, I could find out how they are doing so I could help them if they need it. I have had pets my whole life and it can be really hard to take care of them because they can't tell you what they need. I would love to be able to ask them if they are feeling sick or if they are happy.

7. Make everyone in the world go green.

In my life right now I can't make everyone care about the environment, but if I had powers I definitely would. I get so frustrated seeing people who don't care about recycling, using green bags instead of plastic and all of these corporations sending pollution into the air and into the sea. I would make everyone all of a sudden care and the planet would start to heal.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
