The reset of my fursona and his backstory has been calling upon my attention, that would otherwise be going into my social media fronts. I don't mind at all because writing stories is allot better on my emotional health than worrying myself sick over politics, toxic content, and dramas I have no control over.

The thing is I admit that I let things get to me a little too much. I have a hard time dealing with anxiety. I have empathy to a point that I wonder if its to a fault sometimes. So the biggest source of anger for me is other human beings failing to put any effort into pulling themselves back into the right direction even when they know they are straying off the path and just seem to not care. But regardless the justifications, anger and other negative emotions is still misguided compassion. That's a life long fault I still need to work on.

I guess one of the ways I can work on that fault is to simply pull back and limit my doses of social media, just like how I stop playing a very hard video game the moment I feel gamer rage starting to build up. Thing is social media for all the good it offers has a huge fundamental flaw. It amplifies toxicity to a point that it's too easy to get wrapped up in it making it the only thing one sees, nothing beyond that. Social media is a mind fuck that turns a person into an emotional trainwreck further adding to the toxicity.

So that in mind and given the emmense amount of work on my plate, plus the continuing firestorm of charged emotions steming from rather shitty political events that happened over the past few days. I'm going to focus more inward on my fursona and his world more so than I have been doing before. That means scaling back my social media fronts indefinitely to free up the devotion for the task at hand and to stem the flow of negativity back down to more healthy levels I can deal with.

I won't stop caring of course. Basic human rights including a woman's right to choose is among my core socio-political beliefs. But pinning hopes on old men on either side of the aisle will always and forever lead to disappointment because the only constituents they care about are their biggest donors. So there is not much that can be done other than voting out corrupt politicians in favor of a new set of corrupt politicians. The point is change always comes from the outside, never from the status quo. Until change from the outside happens here in the USA, perhaps an Earth shaking uprising or somthing, ....well we are stuck with old men that don't care.

In the meantime, I'll still talk to friends and my chat groups. I'll still put up posts from time to time. But I'm taking this as a bit of a call from the fates to go back to focusing inward by working on my character's and their worlds and have fun along the way instead of getting worked up over issues I have no power to have any effect on.

But the bright side is Tamias the Chipmunk and his back story will be better than before. He and his older brother, Jerry Lee have been with me for over 30 years. They deserve to have the best storyline and character development I can provide. No better time than now to have fun making that happen.

Once I complete the story or stories I'm working on which will take quite awhile since allot of ground needs to be covered, you will see them posted a chapter at a time on my Ink Bunny and Fur Affinity. Do stay tuned to those fronts for further developments.
