Biologically Nonhuman - Tumblr Posts

YES!! YES YES YES. This is what I’ve been saying.

Almost all posts I see about having violent or gross instincts as an animal focus on them being intrusive thoughts you're disturbed by, something you're ashamed of and wouldn't actually want to act on.

But for me that's usually not the case at all when it comes to most of it (I guess the only thing I don't like is seeing my relatives' pets as prey sometimes). I'm not disturbed or ashamed by any of my instincts, even if they're "ugly". It's all natural to me. I've always been an animal. In my case I mean it in the physical way too, not just psychological. All of those urges are completely normal to me.

But I still know I shouldn't act on them, even if I really want to. I know I shouldn't attack people, mark territory in unsanitary ways (unless I'm alone in the woods or something.) , hunt animals that I view as prey, eat and roll in roadkill, or do all the other stuff that's unacceptable around humans or would involve hurting someone/something. Do I want to do those things? Yeah. Will I ever do them? No. Because I have self control.

So what I'm trying to say is you're not evil or disgusting or whatever for having unsavory instincts and urges, even if they aren't intrusive thoughts. As long as you know when you should and shouldn't act on them.
