Hello there, I'm Eternity. I'm an 18 year old female from Texas. Some of you may know me from other Otherkin sites, such as the Otherkin Community. Actually I joined this site bit ago, but I hadn't come back until now. =)
Well...my interests include learning (specifcially languages and ancient history--always fun), animals/nature, spirituality, art, literature, and a million other things. I like to stay active, but I also like my alone time.
To forestall the question
"how did I come to the conclusion that I am Otherkin/was an elemental?"--
First, the Otherkin part: It was mostly a feeling, one that had been with me all of my life that I can remember, one that was there no matter the situation. A feeling of being different from a lot of other people, even though there were many times when I "fit" in. The people around me felt that I belonged, but I never did. Then of course, there were things that I could not explain, memories being prominent. I have had memories of other events that I couldn't account for in this life, all throughout this life. Human ones, and others that didn't seem to be human, but ones that I denied were anything else. Finally these memories, this feeling, and other things kind of closed in on me all at once, and I went to the 'net to surf for answers.
I'm still newly awakened, my definition that just being that it all finally clicked into place. I started organizing the thoughts, feelings, and memories, and something inside me told me that I was on the right track.
Then came trying to find out
what I was. To be honest, I have jumped around a bit. I let my mind get carried away "oh this memory and that memory MUST be linked, oh and this new memory MUST be real." That sort of thing. But I realized (with help <!-- s

So I relaxed a bit on trying to remember things, and focused more on soul searching, remembering what I had already remembered and examining them, meditating, and researching. I came to the conclusion that I was once an Earth Elemental. Something inside me pointed me in that direction, and I searched myself for what I believed elementals to be like. Then I searched my nature, my kind of "second instincts" if you will. I saw that they matched, and it felt
right. When I had thought that I was something else, I always had a large portion of doubt with it. This doesn't. This fits me. And I also started to realize that some of the memories that I had (and that came after this conclusion) seemed to justify it.
So why, if I am so sure, does it say "probable elemental" in my topic title? Because I don't believe that I can ever, really, truly be sure. But I believe that I am about as sure as I can get. But, alas, time will tell. I'm still going to turn it over in my head for a while to come, I expect.
But anywho, sorry this is so long <!-- s
