Pull

by J. Flores

"I want you to imagine that you're going to be a different person tomorrow. Tomorrow, your personality is going to change. You're going to be different. You're going to act a little bit differently. You're going to feel a little bit differently. The way you behave is going to change.

This change that will happen, it is not your choice. It is someone else's choice. Someone else is going to rewrite your personality. They're going to change you however they see fit.

Because of this change, you will make new friends. Because of this change, you will make new enemies. Maybe your life will be better off for this change. Then again, maybe it won't. Either way, this change will affect the rest of your life. And you do not have a choice.

Now that you've imagined this I want to ask you two questions.

First, would you prefer to stay the way you are now? Imagine that you did have a choice. Would you prefer to keep who you are? To keep your identity?

And secondly, are you scared?

Because I am.

For better or for worse, I know who I am. And I want my identity to remain.

And the thought that I'll wake up tomorrow as somebody else?

It terrifies me."
