Rose
NOW
It’s funny how we’re taught that the secret to life is knowing who we
really are. That once we look deep, spend years soul-searching and find out
who that person really is at the core of us, that the rest of our life will fall into
place. Finding our “authentic, true selves” means we will finally find peace.
It’s a lie, like all the other lies that our identity-obsessed society tells us.
It’s not that we can’t know who we are, rather that we are always
changing. We are fluid. The moment we think we have figured out who we
are and what we want, something inside of us changes. Always in motion,
never in stasis. Even those that fear they are stuck are actually on the move,
doing what they can to break free, flinging themselves against a wall again
and again, hoping their confines will crumble.
My whole life I was told I had one identity: a vampire.
Or rather, that when I turned twenty-one, I would become a vampire.
So my identity has been someone waiting for that clarity of self. I was
Rose Harper, I moved around a lot, I had an older brother, parents who loved
me, I spent my childhood as most humans did, and one day I would rely on
human blood for survival. My biology and chemistry would change, I would
go through The Becoming, and come out the other side as something more
than I was before. I would finally be whole.
I had prayed my whole life, in silent, pitiful cries inside my mind as I lay
in bed at night cast toward an unknown creator, that once I turned, once I
became what I was supposed to be, that everything else would fall into place.
That I would know peace, instead of this raging, turbulent chaos inside of me,
one that jerked me from one emotion to the next my whole life. That the
feeling of being incomplete, of missing something, of not being able to fit in
with society, of being seen as an other, would finally go away.
I always felt there were different people locked inside me and I kept
pinballing between them all, not knowing where I’d land.
But now I know the truth.
Now the truth has blasted through my veins along with the primal drive to
drink blood.
