Once a mouse now no longer.
12 years ago
Yes my life has come to an interesting place. I was a furry before I knew what they were. Human felt wrong and rodent felt right all the way back to when I was 8 years old. When I hit 12 I knew I was a mouse. Human-like mouse, later I would learn the term antro, but a mouse non the less. Thus it stayed for many many years 22 to be exact. Sure it took till I was in college back in 96 to really piece myself together, look, name, finding what felt just right but I had always been that same mouse since I was 12.
This last year though something and someone really changed my life. I have found life is not as frighting a place as I once assumed it to be. You make it though a lot more than you ever think you can and its usually not as hard as you expect. Well that realization caused something to click inside me. You see I always have loved kangaroos but I knew I could never be one. They were too "bouncy" too carefree and confident that whatever came they would be ok. Well now I know that of myself too and that one barrier that kept me a mouse instead of a roo fell. I thought on it many months and I really think even after all that time as a mouse I'm a kangaroo now! Its taken me awhile to get an image of me but I have one now and my first trial ref sheet is done so I figured today would be a good day to share both it and this revelation about me with you all. The people that have been drawn to my commissions and my page in general. I guess you could say its roo day II for those that have followed me long enough. Only this time the roo is me!
Nice to meet you all again and for the first time too,

Second..just remember that the 'scared mouse' thing is a stereotype. You had the potential for optimism and brevity inside you all along. Don't be afraid to switch back now and then. You might be exploring a new facet of your personality yet that doesn't mean you can't appreciate the rest of your personality and the fursonas you use to represent it. Don't be ashamed of how you used to be.
This is why my fursona is actually a shapeshifter. I just happen to have an infatuation with my roo fursona lol.
I constantly feel as if i'm on a perpetual walkabout. it may seem like a lonely road but i'm always running into and hopping beside one traveler or another and gaining wisdom from each encounter. I might walk beside a desert yet deserts contain some of the most surprising kinds of life you'll ever find. The stars-our hopes and dreams-may seem so distant yet every moment we reach towards them, some part of their light trickles down and touches us, inspires us, causes us to keep reaching. The thrum of a didgirido-powerful, deep, rhythmic, primal, ancient-allows us to let free the music trapped within us.
This is why I chose roo. They are a very poetic creature.
Just kidding. :3 Always good to find a fursona that clicks! That's how I was with rats... except I'm okay as a human. xD
