It can be easy to sink into a rut, to follow familiar paths simply because we know where they go. Every now and then, however a mood comes upon us in which we feel a hunger for something different than what we have known. This is the emotion of novaturience.
Novaturience is the desire for change. The novaturient may seek to change what they eat, where they are, or what they do. Underlying all of these concrete changes, however, is the attraction to the idea of metamorphosis, undergoing a transformation of identity.
Change is inevitable. No matter how much we try to hold on to what we have and who we are, it all will eventually slip through our fingers. Novaturience compels us to release our grip on what has been before our attachment to it causes us to grow stiff and brittle.
