Metamorphosis of the Soul

By B. M. GomezPublished 4 years ago 1 min read
This is merely a modification, the first of many.

There comes a time when even the most rational person gets pulled out of character. It doesn’t matter how good a person you are, it doesn’t matter how you were raised. It doesn’t matter who you associate with or disassociate with. There will always be something or someone at one point that will somehow cause a ripple in your calm clear waters.

When such thing comes to pass, you definitely won't know what to do. You won't know how to handle it and you won't understand why it’s happening. Although you might not have all the answers, you will learn later that it all happens for a reason. In most cases it would be that you were perfectly content with your life and the people that are a part of it, until this new “pebble” comes into your life and creates that ripple which stirs your mind, unsettles your heart and shakes your soul.

It takes complete control of your body and inner being, making you feel with new hands and making you see for the first time through clear eyes, a whole new painting. That, will be what makes you act out of character, what makes you strange to the people who once knew you. Though it will seem as if you’ve changed for the worse, you realize in time that this was merely a modification, which will only be the first of many.
