Then (2009) and now (2019)
This is in response to Strawberry Singh's "Then and Now" challenge: strawberrysingh.com/2019/01/06/then-and-now-secondlifecha... And what a difference ten years makes.
Ten years ago, I was barely human, most of the time. I actually had a line on my profile for several years--"If you don't recognize the face beneath the name, it's probably me." Cat, rabbit, equine, mermaid, demon, fawn, Unseelie, zombie, porcelain doll, and the over 500 skins (not exaggerating; at my height I counted 613) that accompanied them, I was anything and everything random whim told me to be.
N ow? I have a daily hair I wear most of the time, green eyes I rarely if EVER take off, I've been in the same 7 Deadly s[K]ins skin (Noellia, from Izara's Advent calendar two years back) for two years. My catgirl skins languish along with the other furs, and I've gotten rid of all the ferals.
I miss those rapid shifts, some days, but most of the time...I'm happy like this. It may not be me-the-mercurial, but it is a face that says "me", to me, and...most of the time, that's enough.
