That's what it is: One little thing you do, one little thing that isn't anything, has the power to change your whole life. "Something you love turns into something you miss. Something you say turns into something you mean", but, in the end, it's something you do turns into something you are. And if this little thing hadn't happened, you'd be in a complete different point of your life.
That's the butterfly effect.

Some people say it isn't real, that it's destiny what brought us here, that we would be here anyways, independant of what we do.
But I disagree.
Because I know it's true.

Something so simple, such as a word you swallowed, an opportunity you didn't take, a feeling you suppressed. All those little things start compressing together, growing and growing and growing, until you get to a point where you don't have the control anymore, and you're so into it the only way out is through, to the point you're a leper of your own kind. The kind of person that you weren't before - And that is the worst type of outcast you can be.

Maybe if the butterfly effect wasn't real, all those little things I did, said and felt wouldn't have meant anything to him, and maybe this is the person he truly was, from the start - I will never know if he was just pretending and this is the point we were supposed to find ourselves in anyways. But it is real. Because all those laughs we shared, all the mess we created, all those memories we shaped, they weren't in vain. But they were those words I swallowed, the opportunity he took, the feeling we suppressed, what brought us to this.

And that's what makes the butterfly effect so scary. One little thing you do turns you into a whole different self. One little thing, that's all it takes to break the balance.
One little thing.
One little thing, I didn't do.
Two little opportunities, that were given to him.
Three little words, I didn't say.

"I love you."
