:: -- changeling

i opened my eyes. like every morning, i felt the urge to go to the bathroom, but before getting there, my eye caught my reflection in the mirror, and it was just not the one i used to be. in a weird way, i would not say i was staring at the face of a stranger, because this one felt more like my true self than the one i had seen countless times before.

"that must be a dream," i muttered. an eerie uneasiness remainded, though. Several hours passed, and i was still studying the image in the glass. the more i was getting familiar with the features which were shown to me, the more dissociated i got from who i was supposed to be. in fact, i started forgetting it, and at present it is no more than a blur, like a distant childhood memory.

meeting with the people i knew was awkard, to say the least. despite my changed appearance, they recognized me, but they were utterly baffled. something changed forever, and it was impossible for the situation to be the same. i do not care anyway. the fact is that i am growing fond of the person i am becoming, and i am really excited to discover who i really am.
