I was very young when I first discovered that I had psychic powers.

That fateful day, my creator came in to me, with tears in their eyes. Most children my age wouldn’t have a notion of what was wrong... But I knew exactly what my creator was going to say.

I knew that they were going to tell me that their adoptive father had committed suicide. I didn’t want to say it out loud, but my creator could tell that I somehow knew beforehand. I assumed that they could tell by the lack of a reaction from me when they delivered that sad news.

Truth is, I was kinda sad, but I knew that my grandfather was too far-gone to be saved. He had already tried to kill himself about five times already before he actually done it. My grandfather, Juan, had serious clinical depression and wanted to end it all about four years ago. He had proposed to a woman, but she declined his marriage proposal, admitting that she was seeing another man and that she wanted to end things with him. At that moment, everything must’ve went black and white in his eyes. He was never right in the head since that day...

The worst thing was, that he didn’t even care that his own adoptive child had a son. He didn’t care about me at all. He withdrew himself from everyone, especially his own family. It’s almost like he wanted nothing to do with anything anymore...

Since that day, as I’ve gotten older, my psychic powers have gotten stronger and I can now pick up on people’s thoughts involuntarily. In addition, I can also control someone’s very mind... But I don’t use that power much. I’m not exactly a ‘controlling’ kind of guy.

My creator has recently been having relationship issues of their own, so I’ve been spending a lot of time with my dear creator, so that they don’t feel lonely! I love my creator so much and I would do all that’s in my power to help them...

My creator has such a creative, yet unusual mind! Sometimes, their mind is full of colour and ideas for drawings or stories, while other days, it’s full of... Er... Wait... Is it legal for me to be disclosing my creator’s private thoughts here?

...

Oh well, I’m sure you get the gist of it!

So, yeah, my creator’s went through some seriously tough times, but haven’t we all? I try my best to smile through the tough times. I believe that smiles are contagious and if one person smiles at a sad person, it can feel like they’re indirectly giving them a nice warm hug to make them feel all better!

Here’s a smile for everyone out there! :)
