7 | As a child, I wanted to be a bird. | ||
8 | I had watched Disney's *The Sword in the Stone*, an animated film set in medieval England about an orphan called Arthur who meets Merlin, a wizard. | ||
9 | Merlin decides to become Arthur's tutor and teaches him various lessons in a quite unconventional way -- by turning him into a fish, a squirrel, and eventually a sparrow. | ||
10 | The idea of being an animal, and specially a bird, was incredibly fascinating to me. | ||
11 | How would it feel to have such a completely different body? | ||
12 | To feel my feathers bristling in the wind as I'm flying through the sky? | ||
13 | To be perceived by other creatures not as a human but as a bird? | ||
14 | I was 6 years old at that time and to this day, the desire to be an animal never left me alone again. | ||
15 | |||
16 | As I got older, it became clear to me that my experience was far from usual. | ||

22 | Therians are individuals who believe they are an animal on some level, either spiritually -- such as past lives or souls -- or psychologically. | ||
23 | It sounds like the perfect answer to my question, but after looking into them it didn't resonate with me. | ||
24 | |||
25 | I can't bring myself to say "I *am* a fox" in any serious context because I know I'm not one. | ||
26 | A fox wouldn't be able to type on a keyboard or come up with this text in the first place. | ||
27 | A fox couldn't have a job as a software developer. | ||
28 | A fox wouldn't look in the mirror and see a human. | ||
