The alien in you

Is there an alien somewhere in you? Perhaps you are very aware of their presence, or it is just a luminous, bizarre or disturbing sensation. On the other hand, you may perceive this alien as someone or something outside you.

The term alien (from the Latin alienus, “belonging to others, foreign, alien, adverse”) can take on various meanings. In general, it indicates a person unrelated to a certain environment. It can be someone or something who has left his place of belonging and is in a foreign reality. In strictly biological terms, it refers to an allochthonous species that happen to be in a territory other than its original range. This species can suffer aggression from the ecosystem and be subdued or eliminated, as well as adapt and integrate spontaneously, or operate as an invasive alien species and compromise the entire ecosystem. In both scientific and science fiction terms, an alien refers to any subject of foreign origin to planet Earth, from a meteorite to a hypothetical being from another planet, universe or parallel world.

Whatever the meaning of this alien, there are moments in life when you can’t help being aware of its presence.
If you are an alien who had to give up his nature to the point of losing their memory in order to survive in a strange and hostile environment, you may suddenly or gradually remember who you really are.
If, on the other hand, you have remained aware of your alien nature, hiding it with great efforts and pain, so as not to suffer the aggression of the native species, it could happen that you just can’t stand living like this anymore and decide to fully legitimize who you are.
And then there are many other possible options.
For your part, it is a matter of understanding only which one is yours, and if the time has come to deal with the alien.
