I have always wondered what i should actually write for this and i think one day i would have the perfect words for what it really means to be one of us. But to take the plunge in to be a shapeshifter is not a easy task. Just as much as its not easy actually being one. You might be asking yourself the question as a human what makes you think that is not easy its as easy as being bitten right. Wrong whether you are bitten or born it does not matter everyday is a battle, be it a battle with sitting back and not being able to do anything for the next stupid government allowment of animals to be arial shot, to not being able to tolerate sounds and smells. Yep its not actually as easy as people think "But" it can be done. To justify what its like to be a shapeshifter well its like being 2 different people or in our case part human part animal because thats exactly what it is and thats exactly who we are. I had joined a google community about 2 years ago and back then i remember myself and the owner who was supposedly a werewolf did not see eye to eye. So i posted in the group and helped 1 person and answered a question to another. I said i was bitten and i believed that being a shapeshifter is a gift and perhaps thats why there are not many of us running around. After that the owner proceeds by saying except being bitten does not actually do anything special. How i bit my tongue at that statement this guy was a real a**. Not only was it a rude reply but he was never the one who asked the question in the first place. The worst thing about it was that i quickly realized he was not a real werewolf he was likely a fake, the reason was obvious. One was that he claims that he knows everything about werewolves. And the second thing is that he had not idea about how much power i actually have. The mostly cowardly part to the whole thing was that rather then let me reply with anything he simply had the hide to disable comments, so i could not even question why he tried to claim such a thing'. But it never took me to long to work out why because he had something to hide himself. This is not how real were creatures act, we take each others advice and generally agree with each other or come to some sort of agreement. I have come across two ignorant people like him who had claimed to be weres and seemed to know everything. When in truth any were will tell you there is still so much more that we dont know about our own kind. No matter whether we were born or bitten we still have a lot to learn. As much as i know so much i dont know everything, and im okay with that. I still have many years left to keep learning. When your a were its not a walk in a park its living with two different sides, and no im not talking about schizophrenia for us thats exactly what its like. And for any one to truly understand it you would have to see the world threw another eyes, see it threw our eyes'. Smell what we smell hear what we hear and even see things a lot more clearly. To be us is to be non human, to experience all that we experience, just with having the added bonus of being not just human too but a animal as well. Being a were is a privilege if you are bitten its the most enticing and wonderful experience. But with that people need to understand that we do go threw a lot a heck of a lot. When you are bitten there is no going back, and if you are born you are this way forever. To us there can be days we wish we were just normal that we were just like you, why cant i go to a race track without either nearly peeing myself from fear of the loud noise or get a major headache. It can really depend on the were and how much they can handle and how experienced they are in dealing with certain situations. For most if not all of us weres we learn to accept it we have to, and thats okay because its not as bad as it might sound. With all the things that sound like a pain in the a** there not all bad. Whilst the bad is there the good is there too. And i guess it depends if you view some of those things negatively i guess its how you look at them. With all the good of being a were at the same time i really feel its a honor to be one. Being able to check up on people without actually being there, telepathy, heightened senses, super human abilities, animalistic traits and above all the ability to shape shift. Whether we all have the same powers or not does not matter because most of us are happy being who we are, it may be a struggle for us but thats okay. Because though our kind may be in numbers our might is forever strong, i really hope one day we are accepted for who we are not just what we are. When you have lived our lives you may feel what its like to experience true freedom. And that is the most beautiful gift of them all.

what do you feel about Weres that are a Prey Species? I am learning as I go along and I have Shifted more then once recently into something very unexpected and made sense later on. And experienced so much lately with a major memory coming back. But I am starting to almost know for sure what i am now do to my shifts and things that happened last week. That was freaky and exiting. But am still open to advice. But after all this, i highly relate to what you feel and agree 100%.

If you shift into more then 2 things i would believe that would make you a shapeshifter . Im not sure what you mean as to what i feel about them?. If your concerned something might eat you unfortunately its kind of survival of the fittest out there. But you have the human intel by your side so you will be smarter then your average species you change into. But i am quite certain that its very unlikely another were will eat you, because you are a shifter generally they should pick up on that. Still always protect yourself anyway though i doubt you would need to ^^. I am glad that i did not confuse anyone and if anyone else wants to add something there most definitely welcome to.

to continue as this is an interesting discussion, I have experienced that *power* recently when i start to Shift i do feel more *powerful so to say. i can run, trot ect. Something I have more of a hard time doing in complete human form so to say. When i start to Shift to horse, i can feel that power in my legs and sometimes chest. It feels exiting to sometimes I laugh. Most my shifts happen at night when i am walking outside to meet my husband at work. I do not shift much inside the apartment because of space ect. When a feel a shift start i get also a high urge to run and gallop. Thats why i try and control it and let it happen more at night. but boy it is NOT easy. but even with the hard times, I feel VERY blessed to be what I am. I don't think I will ever consider it a curse despite the hard times that may come later. Yes there ARE annoyances but thats about it. I also have another down side that i agree with you on. I do not or try not to shift during the day because if I am walking gods the noise of cars! lol. I am surprised Normal horses can deal with it never mind us Werehorses. Though normal horses are trained. For us at least we have the human part so to say to counter act it. Another is if I had a full shift by day, I'd probably be taken to the local horse farm and animal control would be called. (if I am not seen shifting that is) I am glad that did not happen during my first run.. Unless thats what i was running from lol. so ya there are ups and downs. but I would not change it for the world. O and the headache part, i hear ya! Certain loud noise can and often does give me a Migraine later as i am Migraine prone. That and certain lights like florescent. But the noise omg I hear ya! I HATE humans who have those Loud cars that sound like Motorcycles, And humans who have their bases so high the whole car vibrates and the whole town can hear it. I hate Sirens and always have. I do love trains I just hate the horn lol. Now as you know I am 50\50 on the bite and always have been but I am not going to be rude about it. i live and let live. BUT to claim to know everything about Weres? umm no your right no one can know everything even if they ARE that species. That is just an ego trip to claim that. Even later if I feel i learned all i needed to learn about my species of horse and my kind as Werehorses (if anymore are out there which I am sure somewhere...) I still know i don't know everything about it and never will. So thanks for this thread.

I actually did want to bring something interesting up about myself. I have always wondered if the analogue of the animal was always there. When i was about 8 or 10 i curled up on a relatives lap and pretended to be a cat haha silly i know but i was just a kid. I remember that she patted me on my side and thought i was cute, like today it felt nice to be patted. But perhaps back then i just thought of it to feel nice to be loved for once. And later in life the wish to be a cat came about again, tad coincidental. I guess i got what i wished for still if i was a werecat from that start i would have shifted into that in the first place. Happy to be a wolf happy being who i am, there are days i wish i was one all the time lol.

Well written! You honestly took every feeling I've ever had and finally put them into words. For the longest time I've always wondered what I was, why I was different and above all, why me? All I've ever wanted was to be normal, but now I embrace who I am and I always show it every day. I couldn't see myself being anyone different. Two of my really good friends know what I am, and honestly treat me like they would anyone else and they wouldn't tell a soul. But lets be honest, who would actually believe us? I can bet anyone we would tell, would just think we were teenagers who haven't grown out of their "Twilight" phase. I'm not gonna lie though, some days I do wish I was normal, just so I could live a normal life, but then I realize, whats the challenge of being normal? Anyone can do that, I like a good challenge once and a while

I agree with what you guys said. Normal is overrated. I know you how you feel towards the not believing thing Arrow. I was 13 and told my dad that I was a shapeshifter. He didn't believe me of course. He told me to show him and a second later he said he didn't see anything happening. Shifting is bit slower than that for me but I really shouldn't have told him that. Luckily he let it go. I didn't show him of course.

being a Shapeshifter sometimes of a certain type is annoying at times when people think you need to be a certain ethnicity. And that causes conflict because i am always looking for what fits heritage.

And that causes conflict because i am always looking for what fits heritage. Believe it or not, I feel the same way. No one told me that I had to be a certain race though. I always look into African Legends and stuff like that. My mom said our ancestors didn't come from Africa... At least not all of them I believe. You just have to try to believe in yourself and see inside yourself to see who you really are.

ya many said for example in order to be Kitsune I wou7ld need to be Japanese or Asian in general. When i looked into myself as a possible Werehorse. many horses were mixed. The Friesian which i am pulled to has Spanish in it. or some. So i wondered do i need to have Spanish heritage? If I don't need to be a certain race then friesian could still be me.

No you are a human being you came from the same genetic lines or similar lines as others the only difference is content and skin color. As i mentioned to you a werewolf can be any heritage. For instance i am half Portuguese and werewolves did not start in Portugal. Dont believe everything others say especially if it does not feel right. It would be like me saying you were born in asia you must be asian, not true especially if its say a Australian or american person born there. I think the difference is what you make it. We all look different but that doesn't mean a thing when it comes to shape shifting.
