Ever since I was five, I knew I had an ability to see what was going on somewhere else or something that was going to happen to me. I knew something of the sort ran in my family, but I didn't care much, for it wasn't very strong, and as I grew older, I wished that my abilities would grow stronger and more meaningful.
A while ago, a good friend of mine told me something he'd never told anyone, that he lived a normal life, except for he could communicate and see people, much like a parallel universe. At first I assumed he was exaggerating what had been going on with him for years, so I decided to get mad at him, mostly because I was envious of his ability. He then told me specifically how he walks around with people who he thinks are humans, but then realizes they aren't when they come inside his house, and no one else can see them. I still find myself not believing because he has been able to hide this, and received flawless grades in high school. I also find myself slipping into depressions whenever I think about how someone so close to me has the ability I have wanted all my life.
He says to me that I shouldn't want it at all, which angers me more, for I fear he will one day be able to use this against me, possibly saying he has more power than I do. I also get the impression that he doesn't care about my little ability, or about the fact that it runs in my family as well. I am at a loss on how I should rid myself from envy and possibly make my ability stronger so I don't feel as if I must prove to him what I am able to do. It is becoming unbearable.
