Therian Diary

Sunday, 6th of september, 2015

I wrote a song yesterday! Well, part of one. I've got about 2/3rds of it finished. It's about a kid who's a therian and how it feels to be alone. Here are some of the lyrics.

I see you pretending you're in the woods

When you're in a backyard of a neighbourhood

I see you, child x4

Curled up on the bathroom floor

crying, with razors and a locked door

You're alone, child x4

Cry, little wolf boy,

Cry, little wolf girl,

Cry, little wolf child

Let no one hear you howl. x2

The stars they cover you at night

They hear you howling in the moonlight

They hear you child x4

So yell your sacred song with might

They hear you child, they're here for you

They hear you child x4

Cry, little wolf boy,

Cry, little wolf girl,

Cry, little wolf child,

let no one hear you howl. x2

That's what I've got so far. I'm playing it on guitar and I hope to record it somewhere at least. I wrote it kinda as a tribute to my pack? We were all alone until we found each other and I guess this is my way of telling it. I'll record a full thing for them soon.

Speaking of my pack, we might be able to meet up soon! Well, some of us. Three of us, including me, live in a 1 hour radius of each other and if we find any new members who live near us too, we might have a meet up. There's a few members from, like, Dubai and such so it's probably going to be hard to meet with them.

In other news, I started writing a new thingy. It's not really professional, and I'll update it whenever I please, I guess. Give it a read.

I really really want to go up into the woods now. Maybe I should pack some shit and head up there with my doggies. It's not really a woodland area, but it's close enough. I just need the feeling of running through some trees and howling at will. I want to howl so much now! I want to growl too... I just never have the opportunity to let it out because my family is ALWAYS home and they don't know about therianthropy. They think I just like wearing a tail. I did record one of my howls just yesterday while they were out, briefly, but they came back almost instantly after I howled.

Also, on the word "therianthropy". It's not "therianism". Therianism would imply a form of religion or a practice, whereas therianthropy is more of a spirituality. The reason the word has "thropy" at the end because it means to be animal like or to shift e.g. Lycanthropy. Lycanthropy is a werewolf - Lycan being wolf and thropy meaning to transform. Therianthropy is the same, except we can't physically transform. I actually don't know where the word "therian" comes from so if anybody knows, please tell me!

This had been a rather short chapter. I'll update after something interesting happens. I am going up to Arthur's seat at night, so that should be fun. Later.
