Welcome to my blog! I go by the name Kya, and I’m a 23 year old Black shifter. I’ve been part of the shifting community for over 5 years+ and have had my on-and-off moments with shifting. Since joining Tumblr, I hope to make new friends and connect with people who share similar interests!

The age changing debate from a twenty three year old Reality Shifter.

⭑.ᐟ recently ive seen a ton of arguments on shiftok of what’s okay / what isn’t okay to do in your desired reality regarding aging yourself up or down to date characters or have certain experiences like going to high school, going to college, reliving your childhood, etc.

when you shift you are fully embodying that version of yourself. when you shift you are everything you intended to be. you have that mentality. you have a certain set of experiences under your belt that make up your desired reality self.

by throwing around words like p3d0 & placing that onto adult shifters for expressing they’d like to be friends & date characters they’ve liked since they were children, it diminishes the meaning of that word. it also makes the community incredibly ageist; like there’s a certain amount of time people have to shift or else they can’t shift there. thus, creating unnecessary pressure for people to shift within a “certain amount of time”.

some people just want to re-live their schooling who didn’t have a good time due to bullying. some people want to befriends their favorite characters so age themselves appropriately & accordingly when they do so with non-malicious intentions because they didn’t shift / were unaware of the idea of shifting as children & still hold these places closely to their hearts. in the same breath, minors will age themselves up & have adult experiences & nobody questions it.

keeping what I just said in mind, not everyone wants to shift to date. some people have no romantic intentions for when they shift. someone people are aromantic or asexual, like myself. when people say “shifting for ____” it doesn’t always mean romantically. it could mean “shifting for” a comfort character. it could mean “shifting for” platonic love. when people say “im shifting for draco malfoy” — he could be their brother in their desired reality or their dad or their best friend. not everything is inherently s3xu4l & that’s on you if your brain goes there when adults mention shifting for someone.

aging yourself down isn’t just reserved for media that includes minors. shifting can aid in re-living stages of life trauma free. it can help people — both adults & children — who would’ve liked to live a live of normalcy instead of what they have experienced in this reality.

i can guarantee that minors who are so hellbent on saying “adults can’t shift to places like harry potter because hogwarts is a school for children” & “aging up characters to date them is wrong” who will go on to still not have yet shifted into their adulthood / later in life will change their minds really fast once they turn eighteen & then nineteen & so on. by telling people it is wrong to do something in your desired reality, that is policing people’s desires realities weather you like it or not — something the community has agreed is unproductive because it’s your desired reality & not anyone else’s.

do i agree with certain things that ive seen people wanting to do ? no. but do i vocalize that & add onto the dozens of others parroting my thoughts when that person clearly has their heart set on doing something in their desired reality a certain way. why would i ? calling them out & trying to persuade them won’t do anything. they probably have seen the debates of “is this wrong or right” already. at the end of the day, people will do whatever they want despite others trying to influence that. im focused on my shifting journey, not making sure everyone else is going by the book because there is no book when it comes to shifting. if i took the time to tell people online everything I disagreed with on this app that i came across, i would have zero life outside of social media & severely neglect my own shifting journey in addition to mental health.

When you visit the place in your cr that your dr is based in >>>>

IT'S LITERALLY THE BEST FEELING. I just got back from South Carolina and I literally felt like I was in my outerbanks dr.

whenever I'm going through something in this reality, I always keep in mind that shifting found me and saved my life, and it brings me so much comfort.

All I do is be horny and think about my dr

The legendary four

People who say that nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation, or anything else cannot or should not be changed whenever somebody shifts is not ready to talk about past lives and how you have literally been everything and anything and anyone.

I remember being male. I remember being a gay male, a straight male with a wife and kids. I have been women from all parts of the globe.

And so have you.

The thing is, we are incapable of understanding the full scope of reality. We're just barely scratching the surface. The same can be said about our understanding of time. We know now that time is not linear - that all time: past, present, and future exists simultaneously. Therefore, all of those people who you have been in a past life, you currently are still them.

The only divisions among us are those that are created by social constructs. And police by us or members of society that choose to believe in them and uphold them, that's it. Does it make them true. In fact in most cases social constructs are proven to be completely false prime example of that is the idea of genders versus sexes. One is biological dictated by chromosomes, mutations, and genetic variations of hormones and many other things we are just understanding- and the other is a social construct.

We are all the same, you, me, and everyone else. We're all the same consciousness. All of your experiences past, present, and future are currently going on at the same time- for all time. Just as everyone else's is. Reality is this:

There are no barriers. No limitations. No rules.

Follow your heart. Do what feels right, because it is.
