mind's eye, past musings, phantom limbs (pos) 

Back when I was in high school and I was more conscious of my nature as otherkin, I practiced and honed my mind's eye regularly. It was to the point where everyone I met or saw, i saw as furry.
It was playful at first as I'd walk with another furry friend and peg folks one species or another. It became regular, along with doing things like imagining my fur and tail and ears while i was doing mundane things. It made everything more engaging.

I'm slowly regaining that ability and realizing how much happier it made every day life. It served to beat some of my ADD, by making me much more engaged in everything that I was doing. It was amazing and good until i started straying from the abstract, and focusing on the tangibles of what "I didn't have".
Things are better now.
I'm learning.

@Oneironott I need to get better at that, myself. It's something I had, and largely lost, I think... and knowing that you lost it too and are regaining it helps me to understand that was real, I wasn't just faking it.
