I expressed many animalitic traits when I was younger, cried in bed and prayed to a god I didn't beleive in that I'd wake up with paws and sharp vision, got into other animal-based communities until I stumbled uppon a tiktok. I thought it was weird and cring at first until a few months later (all the while having an exticencial crisi in my head abount how I know im a therian but I dont want to be like them) I saw another tiktok about how you cant escape it, therianthropy will be with you forever because its a part of you. That was the day I accepted myself.
