10 Years in Furry (Where I Am Now And Where I'm Going)
2 months ago
Hi all that are still around. I'll be making this post over on my PrincessSamoyed account too
Checking my page and it dawned on me that I actually joined this fandom 10 years ago as of last week. I was a senior in high school that wanted to give this a try and all I can say is...what a ride. Hella ups, hella downs but I made it through in the end. Different but thankfully for the better. And y'all definitely helped me out through that. From helping me learn and explore things regarding my gender identity to even giving me a big jump into freelancing for a good couple years to improving myself as an artist. And now I actually am engaged with someone that's the light and love of my life that I want to share my everything with. I have y'all to thank so much for that.
And now that these ten years have passed, I'm....ready to put all this down.
I'm so grateful for the journey I've embarked and the people I met and the opportunities I took but best of all...I reached out to people. Touched people's lives with my art. I actually helped make someone's life just a bit better with these doodles of silly furry creatures so taking a bow out and closing a chapter to this part of my life I can do so feeling satisfied with what I've done. I couldn't have been more thankful for this. Truly.
Now I've grown up (not to say that furry is childish, but to emphasize that I'm well into adulthood now compared to when I first jumped in). I figured out so much about myself and I have a future spouse I want to spend the rest of my life and attention with. And I don't plan on doing what I've been doing for the rest of my life. I wanna move on and do different things. You might end up seeing me somewhere later on down the road but after these next few months, I'm starting afresh on the internet as a whole and leaving what I've built behind.
Thank you all and I hope that you've enjoyed the ride.
