Truly.
Such suspicion and ignorance.
Silly humans.
Fear is one of the most powerful motivators known to any creature on this planet. What better way to designate 'other' than to concoct fear-based hypocrisy of those who happen to be different.
Doing any sort of research these days inevitably involves encountering stupidity. Whether it's something as mundane as tax law or something deeply personal, it's impossible to avoid ignorance.
How demeaning it is to realize such ignorance can indeed be centuries-old.
We are not to be feared. We are as natural as the water and air around us.
And, I might propose, just as vital.

Weres are simply a byproduct of this evolution (albeit one with sharp teeth!).
Guys, get this.
What if there was, like, a wolf?
.... But he was really a werehuman?
No seriously.
I just wrote the following on the cover of my current sketchbook:
"You must live in both worlds"
"Balance is key"
It's a reminder that I have to develop and live true to both my physical and spiritual being.
Vital we may be, but fear overrides logic.
Year's winding down, but I've still got my birthday to go - 25 was a good one for me, so I'm hoping 26'll be even better!
