Fae-hearted

nimdreamsYesterday, I had a major realization; I am not fae, I am fae-hearted. Everything I've written about under the tag faekin, are things I actually experience and feel. But the part where I should feel like I am fae deep down inside, is just missing. I've tried figuring out what kind of fae I was, skogsrå and hulder and veela coming close, but nothing was truly me. I kept seeing myself as a fox spirit instead. Easily triggered by music, meditation, or thoughts about my true self.
So I have decided to accept that I am a fox spirit. Labeling fae as a hearted-type has been such a relief. I don't have to push myself into something that makes sense logically, but isn't there emotionally.
Labeling myself as fae-hearted doesn't make this identity any less important or intense. I am also dog-hearted, an identity often the most strongest one in my life, more meaningful than anything I identify as. I have a bond with dogs unlike any other creature, foxes included. Dogs are my favorite animals, I have many experiences that a dog therian would have and dogs are the light and love of my life. Something I feel like I should mention as I haven't talked about it on tumblr at all yet.
My fae-heartedness is quite the same as my dog-heartedness. It is all there, except the identity itself. What I see myself, my soul, my true self as is a fox spirit. I'm not sure yet how this will change my content. I will likely add a hearted tag to all my fae posts and will probably post less fae experiences from now on. On the other hand I might share more about all 3 of my heartedtypes, and include some of my dog experiences. We'll see what the future brings.
