...It's called change in general, hun. :> It happens all the time, to everyone.
You know, I think I've been noticing something funny about the so-called "settling", which is really not helping my beliefs on that particular aspect of daemonism (which are already on shaky grounds and have been for quite a long time now). Seems most people in the 16-20 range experience some kind of long-term stability which leads them to think that they're settled, and then at some point later on (after 20), something changes. But, from what I see, it's rarely a drastic change.
I've been putting A and B together, and this only confirms TDF's Winger idea of "concentric rings" settling. Remember when TDF's Lane and myself were crane and grouse respectively? And now we're still birdy, but she's looking into nightjars and I'm a screamer for the time being, XD. It doesn't seem to happen to everyone, evidently, but clearly it seems that after 20 most people experience slight shifts of personality enough that they find a better-fitting form, albeit not one that's terribly different from the one they were previously stable as, hmmm.
This is why I love it when 13-15 year olds run around claiming settledom only to be slapped in the face years later with ~*~C H A N G E~*~, lolo.
And it's not always all that drastic, either. O_o I mean, where is my life-changing university experience? Nonexistent. I have got to experience certain things and try out new stuff by going to uni, but it's not like I went away and got something so vastly different from the world I knew before, XD. To be perfectly honest, I didn't think I'd change form and I have no idea how or why it happened, it's like I literally woke up one day and thought "Well damn, I don't think capercaillie is all that fitting anymore. Maybe I should look more into this..." and I did, and here I am.
And apparently now my daemon wants to change gender, lolo? (we'll see whether it's short-term or long-term)
Y'all must be thinking "Wow, he must going through some stuff..." and the truth is, I'm not - nothing unusual anyway. Change isn't always a result of omg!revolutionz in your life; sometimes it literally just happens and then bam! you're not where you thought you were, XD. [censored] just... happens, y'know? :>
