One of the strangest things that We have noticed about humans has come into light for us. Sometimes a human is born into a certain situation, or grow up in such a way, that changes them from what they really are. What We mean by this, is when your inner spirit is different than your physical form. This is actually quite common, though some people go to the extreme of changing themselves because of it. However, this raises the question: why is it that sometimes our spirits are so different from our physical form?
This can refer to smaller things, eye color, hair color, small appearance difficulties, but this can also refer to large things such as gender, age, and even species. It is truly a strange feeling, when you can look at yourself in the mirror and feel itchy. When you can look down at yourself and feel uncomfortable in your own skin.
Some people don't understand why they feel this way, so they do everything to try and figure out who they truly are. Sometimes, you can never change yourself enough to feel that comfort. Sometimes, you have to force your spirit to adapt so you can be happy without changing, whether that is because you can't change enough, or don't have the resources to do so. It's not pleasant when you feel this way, and you can never truly understand how unpleasant it truly is until you have felt it. When these feelings begin to manifest, you begin to doubt yourself and your ability. With most, their confidence diminishes greatly and they begin to feel that everyone stares at them no matter what they do.
We would have to say that a mildly common example of this, is one of the most interesting: when your spirit is different than your species. Usually, this occurs in humans, but it also happens in animals as well. Usually, when this occurs, the human's spirit, inner self, or conscience resembles that of an animal rather than that of a human. This resemblance, as We will call it, can be very noticeable and distinct or very mild and obscure, but it remains.
The most common of this occurence that We have seen is when a specific human attaches itself to a certain animal and begins to take on the characteristics of it, usually in personality and thought. In many cultures, they call this a spirit animal. It can go to the extreme that they truly believe they are said animal. They begin to believe that they were this animal in a past life, or were simply born into the wrong body and circumstances.
This can be a very tiring, unmanageable feeling. This person always seems to feel out of place, no matter who he/she seems to be around. Depending on which animal they have attached themselves to, they can always feel the need to run, hide, or lounge around till the end of time. It does happen, and this does not mean that they are insane either. In fact, it's much more logical than this world makes it out to be.
When a person feels alone, from the time they are born, they will often attach themself to an animal, character, movie, object, etc. and this becomes their comfort zone, a place that they feel safe. These feelings toward this idea or object can last throughout their entire lifetime and sometimes take on new meanings as well. It is something that almost everyone has done, sane and insane. It is human nature to do so, to search for a safe haven in which you can escape. You depend on it because you believe that it will never fail you, and it often never does.
However, sometimes the feelings can become so powerful, that it begins to hurt, especially when you begin to wonder if what you believed in was ever real or if it ever had any true accountabilty in your life. Some people run away from these thoughts and some people accept them, but whether or not they are true, the feeling of forever being an outcast never truly disappears unless the original problem is cured.
This is a concept that you must come to terms with and you must find your own way to adapt to it, because no matter what you do, it will always make you feel small. By this, We mean that you will always feel that you are never good enough, and even if you don't believe it, that's not true. These feelings will only hold you back. When you are able to adapt, however, you will move on to another problem. As such, this is the journey that you will take throughout your life, that journey is learning to accept yourself and who you are.
Whether your thoughts are true or false, if you are able to accept who you are, even if you believe that you are stuck in the wrong skin, you will grow into that skin. You will adapt in such a way, that you will be able to work with these feelings, and as such, you will become golden. It will always be painful, but that is what life is about. There will always be pain. Learning to adapt in such a way that allows the thoughts to not be 'painful reminders' anymore, but reminders of what you used to be, and what you have become.
If you change for the good, you will never regret it.
