The Shapeshifter’s Legacy

Dear Impossible Readers,

Most old wives’ tales cast shapeshifters as demonic or inherently evil creatures. In fact, most will tell you that shapeshifters are of feminine origin, but that is a story for another time. Today, I am here to rewrite the stories of the shapeshifters with you.

I come from a long line of migrants. My ancestors were hunted more than a thousand years ago for the language they spoke. It is this very language, the one they fought to preserve, that also forced them to migrate. For hundreds of years, they have crossed borders and oceans, carrying little but their words and their will. They survived for more than a thousand years of movement because they knew how to change shape. Never have my ancestors clung to the past. Instead, they chose to live in the present and bind themselves to the future.

Adaptability is a gift, but not a given. It is the strength that allows a person to stay ahead of the storm. It is the power to silently unlock flexible thinking, to bend without breaking. It steadies the heart, softens fear and frustration, and gives courage in the face of challenge. Adaptability is a teacher, turning every challenge into a learning opportunity. It strengthens relationships by enabling us to adjust to different perspectives. Through listening and observation, it fosters trust that can bridge any divide.

Ultimately, adaptability is more than survival. It is a way of thriving. It is the gift of the shapeshifter, carried across generations.

May your future shape with every shift,
Yours Possibly
