Spirit animal: The Whale

Welp, that’s what the quiz says: “Strong inner voice — you are self-aware and don’t get involved in drama. You have strong bonds and emotional ties with those you love.”

But I think I’m more of a Bear: “Strong and confident. You are a natural-born leader, helpful, and often in charge.”

I think either one is a fairly accurate representation of my inner animal, but probably a combination of the two is more accurate! Not sure which animal is more stubborn, but that’s the one I would go with.
