musing on identity, spirituality 

The rational side of me looks at my transition from a wolf to a dragon as merely a shift in my interests and tastes over time. People should be allowed to change.

The romantic side of me though wants to believe I've always been a dragon, as there's always been traits I've been drawn to having or liking (dragon tailsss), I'd just end up designing away from them if they didn't click right. I've also always felt drawn to my dragonkin friends for some reason, even before I went dragon myself.

The problem with that perspective is that kinda leans into the idea of an unchanging fundamental self, and that's all well and good if you like that self... but if you don't, you're just giving yourself like, soul dysphoria.
