Shapeshifting for Survival

Everyday, every hour, every minute and every second we go through so much. We learn to adapt to our surrounding in order to get through our everyday lives and manage what we are going through. It’s something that is done subconsciously, whether we are know it or not. The first tragedy, heart break, chaos …that you undergo thats when the shapeshifting happens. A switch turns one and a different person takes place which I like to call “ones shadow self.” In that moment where one feels like their world is falling about and they can no longer survive in the world they once thought was perfect they transform into something or someone else, looking at the world through a different lens. This happens in order for one to cope with what they went through. In the world that we live in now we can’t show no weakness, we cant show no fear and no pain. We have to continue with day to day activities because time stops for no one. It’s not our fault that as humans that we continue to shape shift into different versions of ourselves in order to survive, it’s our human nature. Can one stop shapeshifting to survive? OR Do we embrace our shape shifts and turn all of our alternate personalities into one? Painting by Lindsay Dawsan
