Fox or Dog
Sep. 7th, 2023 12:00 amOver a month ago I decided to change my dog-heartedtype to my theriotype and my fox spirit identity to an anteatype. The last few days I have been thinking a lot whether I was wrong to do so and wasn't still a dog-hearted fox spirit. The thing is, when I identify as a fox spirit it is pretty all encompassing and it feels like there is no room for another identity. Especially since my dog theriotype is psychological and my fox spirit identity is spiritual, it feels like I am either one or the other and the two cannot exist at the same time. Dog is rationalized and makes sense, fox spirit is fully feelings and an identity I've held since I was a young child. So it didn't compute in my head that the two could both be true. That I can be a dog therian who imprinted on dogs in this life, while I have the soul of a fox. That it is okay to have one identity be psychological and the other spiritual.
It never felt quite right to call myself polykin, but I guess that is what I am while I try this out. I could still change my dog theriotype back to a hearted-type, but I want to see what it feels like to acknowledge both these sides of me.
