My spider senseπ·οΈπΈοΈ
As a child, I used to have this quote "WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY" in my bedroom wall. I was convinced that my destiny was to become Spider-Man. I envisioned swinging between skyscrapers, battling supervillains, and using my spider sense to avoid every possible danger. My little kid brain pictured it like having a radar for trouble: the moment anything bad was about to happen, my spider sense would tingle, and Iβd be ready to for action.
But reality, had a different plan. My spider sense never quite developed the way I imagined. Instead of alerting me to impending doom, it seemed to be focused on the mundane tasks of life. Iβd be snacking in the middle of the night when my spider sense would kick in, warning me that my mom might catch me sneaking.
Even worse was the βdangerβ that my spider sense seemed to have a knack for detecting impending chores. Iβd be sitting on the sofa, eyes glued to the TV, when suddenly my spider sense would flare up with the unmistakable tingle of forthcoming parental annoyance. Sure enough, a few seconds later, my mom would walk in and ask why I hadnβt started on my homework or why the living room looked like a tornado had hit it. My spider sense for danger seemed more like an advanced warning system for parental wrath than actual superhero-level threats.
The ultimate irony came when Iβd try to use my spider sense in situations that called for real heroism. During school talent shows, Iβd imagine my spider sense helping me avoid stage fright. But no amount of web-slinging fantasy could save me from the embarrassment in front of an audience of classmates.
In the end, my dream of becoming Spider-Man didn't quite turn out the way I had hoped. While I never gained the ability to swing between buildings or shoot webs but I did get a lot of stories to tell.
"Always be yourself unless you can be Spider-Man then be SPIDER-MAN".
