My Introduction!! Hello everyone :) *Waves!!!*

Hii,

My name Is Tara, my online name is Cheetah but that might be switching soon so watch out for that. I'm trying to come up with something more catchy, it doesn't have something that I'm looking for.

Anyway, I recently discovered that I'm a therian, and my kin type..well, I'm pretty sure it's mostly feline, possibly combined with something else. I have yet to distinguish what the two parts are exactly. I'm still discovering who I am, but I'm a very open person.

I'm a college student, a writing major, and i also have a strong passion for music. I have been playing piano for two years and singing all my life. As for my writing, well, I can write anything from journalist style to creative writing. I also have a strong passion for helping people. I want to integrate all those aspects in my life and my career.

Hello. Welcome to Otherkin Phenomena.

Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your time here. I think Cheetah is fine, but do be informed that it is one account per user here. If you do decide to switch your name, contact an admin and we can change the name for you.

*waves* Good day to you, Cheetah! So you're a feline-esque sort of creature? Not quite sure what animal type you are yet, beyond general species? What made you feel you're a therian? I'm terribly curious.

Salutations
Who opened the zoo and let all these therians in here lately?
Not that I mind. It’s a nice change of pace from what we usually get which comes of those pearly gates.

Hi!!!

See, good I poked you over here, isn't it? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

Hi <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> Welcome!!

Thank you everyone!!
I'm so glad that fangedwriter poked me into here!! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s --> Well, I guess ever since middle school I've felt like there is something different about me. Something that urges and wants to come out of me like a tiger would go after it's prey. Every time I had a really strong emotion I would go to an extreme or another, or even both.This usually occurs when I'm angry or extremely upset about something.

Recently I've been questioning concepts such as my religion ( apparently raised protestant, i go to a catholic college, but nothing was ever pressed on me. ), and just life in general, who I really am. After some recent drama <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: --> , that side of me was brought out again in a huge way. A had told a best friend/sister of mine about what happens when I get this way before. Things such as looking up from my brow, stuff like that. Well, she saw and confirmed it. At that point I felt like there was something to me even more!! And with the help of some friends and some research I saw the ideas of what makes a therian, a therian. It just applied to me very well. And I'm really intrigued to learn more and to be a part of it. I believe there is passion within everyone someway, somehow! And for me, it comes out from my stomach. It's a fire that grows very small at first but if you agitate it enough it's going to rise higher and stronger. That's how I am with anything, whether it's my writing, my music, or if it has something to do with my family and friends. I will know about it!! And if something makes me mad enough, I will have a strong enough reaction to it.

I have always felt a strong attraction to the feline family. I run like a cheetah and when I'm mad enough I pounce like a tiger would. Although, I still feel like there's something else there outside of the feline family and I'm still in the process of discovering what that is.

*pokes the old thread*

I just noticed that your profile says you're from PA, cheetah. Where abouts? I'm in central PA myself. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
