Wolf Bite

(Imposed Modification)

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous that be absolutely boring."

– Marilyn Monroe

I always try highlighting the thought that change is the only thing that is constant. It is always surprising that the changes that are happening in our lives are so unnoticeable that somehow, after time pass after a long while, we barely even recognized who we are. We look back and we say, "Am I really that kind of person before?" It's as if we never lived that kind of life before. However, there are traits that we are born with that will never change.

In my case, I will always be funny, or try to be one. I will adapt but I will also be weird. We people change, knowingly or not because we humans are designed to survive. Nevertheless, changes does not happen overnight. It will always creep in and will slowly enter our system and infect us with a new personality. It might be one the way we dress, the way we talk, and mostly the way we look.

However, there is one thing I like to call the wolf bite. It is the phenomena or action of imposing changes to someone, with or without that person's consent. It's like turning someone into a werewolf to make him or her belong to the pack. These phenomenon happens mostly within a relationship, family or friends. Take for example a mother. A mother is a complete influence to someone's personality but when a she tried to do the wolf bite, like making you stop playing the same toy you've been playing most of your childhood that because you are not a kid anymore. In a group of friends, there is one friend who is the closest to you, for almost so many years, and she wolf bit, you. She tries to tell not to say things like these, or even enforce her opinion on how you dress up and tries to tell you to be like anyone else. Then also, your girlfriend, who suddenly adapted to a completely new living and you suddenly move in with her. Then she also insist to change the way you look because the cool ones doesn't do stuff the way you're doing it now.

It is funny how people shows themselves as if they are concern and just wants you to look decent enough to belong in the society but the truth is, they want to look decent if they are with you. What people see is not a criterion of being a good person. Morale is always based on personal perspective. What's wrong in your eyes, is not always wrong in mine. What looks bad can turn out to be good in someone's weird way of looking.

You cannot change your wardrobe overnight without anything on your pocket to purchase a whole closet of new clothes. You cannot stop being funny and become overly serious in a snap. No one holds an Infinity Gauntlet over your life and no Thanos is allowed to wolf bite you, snap his finger instantly, and turn your reality upside down. No one can wipe your tears with their high-class fragrant hankies and turn your frown into a seemingly glowing smile. The decision always ends with you.
