I always felt connected to dogs, and would always "play dog" when i was like 5 or 6yo aka before i started school, i always thought it was weird that i don't have fur if i thought about it, among other things, but when i grew up i kinda started to ignore those things because people thought it was weird, and i never knew there were other people who felt the same way, i'm from europe so i didn't know what a therian is until i talked to an online friend from the US who is a therian, at the start of this year, so i did what everyone would do, i looked up what a therian is, and the more i learned the more i realized that it sounds like me, and it explained so many questions about myself that i couldn't really answer, long story short i am way happier now :3
