I Am a Wolf Traped In a Human Body

The Curse Of The Werewolf... I suppose I don't have too much to say. Just that I too feel like a wolf trapped in a human body. It took me a few years to get used to what I am, and I had help along the way. It was soon after accepting what I am that I realized the true "curse of the werewolf": humanity in general does not believe in such things as werewolves. Anything "outside the box" is uncomfortable and frightening. It's because of the false beliefs about supernatural creatures that they must live dual-lives as both their true selves and the human-self they have taken on or been born into. If it weren't for most people believing that we don't exist, and the belief that, even if we did exist, we are monstrous creatures, we would be able to live as we please. We would be able to freely express ourselves, only dealing with a small number of people who dislike us, as is the case for all groups of beings. Perhaps, one day, all supernatural creatures will be accepted. It seems like a pipe dream, but it's worth hoping for to me. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

I cannot tell you how many times I have been asked this question. From my perspective, I cannot understand why someone would want to become a werewolf. However, I imagine it is because their view of werewolves is incorrect. Werewolves cannot jump hundreds of feet, hear a whisper from half a mile away, etc. Most of what the media presents about werewolves is either made-up or exaggerated. More importantly, it is not as if you could run free and live with a pack as a werewolf. In the minds of the general public, we do not exist. If they knew otherwise, they would fear us and some would try to kill us. It is not a charmed life. Only once in my dreams did I feel what it was like to be free. Everything else I see in my sleep is a nightmare. I am proud to be who and what I am, but I would not wish the life of a wolf on anyone. You need to understand that being a werewolf would not change who you are, and who you are is what matters. Species, color of skin, gender, body type; none of it matters when it comes to one's capacity for doing great things. You don't have to be a werewolf to make a difference. I hope you understand that. It's not worth what comes with it, and there is no reason to want it. You have to be what you are, otherwise you will never understand who you are.
