My Draconity
By Kaethiel
:: When the whole
draconity thing first entered my life in late
2001, I came to the belief that I was a misincarnated
dragon. A dragon spirit that was born into and
trapped within the wrong body, or "shell."
A human body instead of a draconic one. Since
then, however, my views have changed.
I now see my dragon form as part of a personification
of my soul. I say 'part of' because I don't think
something like a soul can be completely smooshed
into one defined shape. Or even a hundred defined
shapes. It's an important part of my identity
and self-image, it's part of me, and
it is me in a way that is deeper than
my outward physical appearance, but not in some
super-duper "mystikal" sense. I'm not
a spiritual kind of person, I don't know why I
ever tried to make myself be what I'm not.
Because my dragon form is a personification of
my soul, it's not and never will be completely
set in stone. I evolve and go through changes
as a person, and it evolves and changes with me.
It can even, potentially, be completely grown
out of, as I suspect it very well may be at some
point in my life.
The human and the dragon are one and the same
save only for physical appearance, contrary to
how some other beings think. Also contrary to
some other beings, I make no efforts to deny that
I am part of the human race. That would be a little
silly, wouldn't it?
I am not a furry, I'm not a were, I'm not an otherkin,
and I'm not a therianthrope. Though if you wish
to label me as such, I won't stop you.
To summarize: I'm me, and that about covers it.
