Personal Narrative: My Evolution

What exactly is evolution? Well.. it's me. You're probably wondering what the neck I'm talking about, but yes it's true I am evolution and I'm here to tell you my story. This isn't just any story though, this is a story of plot twists, pain, and happiness.

My story begins when I was born. I started off as a single cell. Next thing I knew I had eyes and a brain and arms. I could see and taste and feel and cry. After a few months I start to walk with my legs and get food alongside my family. A few years later I set off on my own and leave my family to make a family and living on my own. I find a mate we have children who were faster than I was and will ever be and I grow old. One day I knew it was time for me to go. I tell my family I love them and lay my head in my hands.

Everything went dark

I woke again only to be submerged in salty water.

I look down and see a creature with fins and I realize that I was born again. I don't know why and I don't know how I just know I must survive. I must always survive. I go through my learning years and become an adult. I go off and hunt with my year old son and teach him what I was taught previous. He is much faster than me and has more teeth than I do. I never thought about why, I never needed to. A few decades later I grow old and fade out of the blue, wet world I've grow to know all so well.

This cycle continues for billions of years. I evolve into various things, learn, mate, reproduce, and die. It's a constant cycle that I've never thought of until I became human. A little birdie told me we are the only animals who think with logic and reason. So far I think that little birdie was right. My entire human life was devoted to thinking. I think about the world, and how a chicken came from one of my previous bodies, some kind of flying dinosaur, just a few billion years ago. How even my vegetative form have grown immune to some of my other insect

forms.

Humans call me evolution. They don't quite understand all of me yet. But they know enough. They know I evolve to survive and thrive in whatever environment that I am put in. They know a thing known as natural selection always takes its course to pick out the most fit for various environments. There is not much to me on the surface, but if you just dog a little deeper you'll surely be surprised as to what you will find.
