184 - We set out to change the world and ending up… just changing ourselves.

I remember screaming as soon as I gasped for breath and saw another me standing nearby. Cylons surrounded me, told me to take deep breath, told me that they loved me. I just kept thinking, no. No, it couldn't be true.

Months later, I was in my apartment on Caprica, and they were trying to move me out of it. Yes, fine, it was an apartment filled with fake memories and an elephant statue that my parents had never given to me and some made-up family picture, too. It was all I had, though. My whole life had been a lie, and then another Cylon was sent over to me to try and talk me out of it all. I won't call her "Six", though. I'm Sharon. I'm Sharon Valerii, and she was, well, Caprica.

( Stranger in a Strange Land )

Yes, I joined them. What else could I do? I forsook the gods that the humans wrote about in their Scripture and accepted the Cylon God. I did everything possible to fit into the "new" society I was stuck with, but in the end nothing changed except for me. The Cylons kept chasing the humans, the humans kept running, and I was the one who had to frakking change everything about me.

Now, Caprica's gone and on Galactica. I'm alone again. I tried to change the world and failed, and ended up changing me.

Story of my life.
