Ever since I heard someone say that their spirit animal was Jackie Chan, I’ve been trying to figure out what mine is.
I used to think that my spirit animal was the wild horse, but that ended when I moved to France and found myself living with the presence of a gigantic horse that was on our land there. He wasn’t wild, but I think he was there to show me the error of my previous thinking and the extent of the unhorsey quality of my spirit. I still love the vision of running, wild horses… it’s just that the reality of being near a horse is different for me, I guess.
Exhibit A:
Clearly, I’m taken aback here. Also, this was taken in April (2013), and I remember how cold it was. I’m wearing a thick sweater under that jacket.
Look at the body language here! I’m not at ease. I’m smiling a little, but I’m leaning away from the horse, rather than toward him. He was a nice horse, though.
There was also a donkey there, and that was a totally different story. I adored that donkey. We called him Buddy.
Buddy! We often gave him treats. Here’s Callaghan feeding him an apple.
Our neighbor put a sign on the gate that proclaimed “Âne Mechant” (“Mean Donkey”), which we didn’t understand. That donkey was an absolute sweetheart.
Anyway, spirit animals. I’ve taken online quizzes that ALL tell me that my spirit animal is a wolf, but somehow, that doesn’t seem right. Something of the feline persuasion would make sense, but if anything, I feel more like an honorary cat due to being a cat mom. There’s a difference between being an animal and having that animal as a spirit animal. I can relate to the Wrah-Wrah better than I can relate to most people, but I don’t feel that I’m being led through life by a cat.
Okay! Different subject, since I came across this picture as I was going through my pictures from France in search of the horse and the donkey:
Me with short emo hair in France.
…and I do need to get my hair cut. Here’s a selfie I took by the elevator at work yesterday, specifically to see the length of my hair:
What is this length…
I’m not going to cut my hair short again, but I’m considering going for longish bangs, and maybe some long layers.
On that note, I’m off to get ready for work. Have a great day, guys!
