My name is Astraea Loren. I am 8 years old. Everyone where I live gets a special power when they turn 8. My birthday is today which means I get my power! Iām a little nervous that it wonāt be a very good power. I walked downstairs to my kitchen for the party.

After my 100th birthday I have officially lost hope. Maybe I got my power at so young an age that it isn't even noticeable. Maybe I just don't get one. It's not fair, I don't want to be special, I want to have powers like everyone else. All of my friends got ...

Dear Diary,
This place is boring, itās all grey; grey walls, grey roof, grey floor.
Grey, grey and more stinking grey.
Momma says I have to stay here, but I donāt really know why.
I donāt remember much either of how I ended up here in the room of grey.
One minute I was coloring with my brother in the living room, I remember because I was trying to color a rainbow but Levi had the ...
"Bro. You're going to figure out your powers one day. You just got to be patient." Will said as he set his empty mug of beer back onto the table.
I took a large swig of my beer. "Dude, that's easy for you to say."
"What do you mean it's easy for me to say?" Will questioned.
"You figured out your powers when you were eighteen. You've had it forever."
"Okay. Maybe I should have paraphras...

Thereās some luck in being an Old One.
Firstly, I look about twenty-five. Twenty-five and Neutral is an accomplishment. Twenty-five and Neutral is the buzz of potential energy under your skin. Itās people drawn to you in anticipation of what you will become. Itās excited whispers and sketched out futures filling notebooks.
I am, of course, wearing fake marks. Today they are gaseous ones, caref...
āWaiting is not mere empty hoping. It has the inner certainty of reaching the goal." - I Ching
