Life Update 6/11/22
3 years ago
So, life continues. Huzzah.
My partner and I have been living together a year now, and things are going well! No horrifying dramas or fallouts, if anything things are going well :)
So some minor stuffs to lead up to a slightly larger thing, for me. I'm bisexual polyamourous, my partner knows, as do my other partners, I keep that a completely open bit of info I inform anyone who I might be looking to have an enjoyable time with. They know each other, they're all good friends with each other and that's grand.
So about 4 days ago, I was able to actually have my first proper day with another guy being intimate and having fun with each other, and my god it felt like the most natural thing in the world, and it's just this giant weight of my shoulders that I fully accept a part of me and who I am. And yes, I want to do more, because god it was great <.<
So the followup to this is..... gonna take a little explaining, but it's regarding my Fursona. For some it's a small thing, for others it's a big thing, and while I don't overwhelming hardcore have my fursona as a big thing, it's been a quite large part of how I personally identify in myself.
I've been a lion for like, 14 years of my life. I started as a furry when I hit like 16 or so, a year or so later I settled on a lion, and that's been fine. But for the last few years (since a particular breakup) I've been in this sorta...... weird point where I haven't really known who to settle on as a fursona, whether that was out of the characters I've already made or whether I should make someone new. I've perpetuated as Uriel since that's how people know me in groups and so on, which is all fine, but he's not really me anymore.
So nearly 2 years ago, I got invited into a Tabletop RP with some friends playing a World of Darkness campaign as the Technocracy. Magic is Hyperscience, etc etc. Long story short I made a very gay guy (in the hope it'd help me figure things out in my head regarding sexuality) who made probably most of our dream fursuit, in that it just basically turned him into a proper furry. And I just clicked hardcore with him. And he was a snow leopard.
I've uploaded 2 photos of me in the silicone snow leopard head now, and quite frankly? He's me now. I've gone from Lion to Snep, but quite frankly this is a big breath of fresh air and exactly what I needed right now.
Uriel isn't gone, the character is still around, but he's not me anymore. People change, and that's entirely fine.
So I'm a snep now.
I'm a very happy snep.
You can still call me Uriel IRL, it's how people know me, but my name is Ferrun these days.
I look forward to seeing how things go from here :)

I know you wrote this a month ago, but that's great to hear that you're feeling more comfortable with yourself! Another great part about being a furry is that you don't have to stick just to one character. There are no rules, so feel comfortable mixing and matching and whatever! I know characters I've gotten attached to or made have helped me with my own identity, and it's great we can use this hobby in our life to explore who we truly are!
