Sometimes I wish that I had never went in the portal. After I fail a test because I didn't have time to study. After the news does a report on the amount of destruction is caused by my fighting ghosts. After someone gets hurt because I wasn't fast enough to save them. After the millionth time my parents yell about ghosts. After ghosts invade the town.
Then I remember all of the good things that I've done since then. Protecting the town. Saving a little girls balloon that was flying away. Ii even got a cat down from a tree once. I flew a neighbor who was having a heart attack to the hospital once.
I can do both awesome and awful things with my powers. I can hurt and protect. Mostly protect. I protect the town from being overrun with ghosts. But no one sees that. They only see the bad things. Like another building got damaged when phantom was thrown through it. A block was destroyed when he 'wailed' at a ghost who was about to kill him.
I accept that I will never be loved by all, or even most. But what makes me not regret walking into that portal is when someone looks at me and says thank you.
