8-1/2 Years Ago...
2 years ago
I recently saw a couple of things here on FA that really made me think about where things have gone for me over the last several years. This includes my relationship with the furry fandom - where it was, and how it is currently.
At one point over a decade ago, I had committed my life to someone who just happened to be a fursuiter. We shared some good times with each other, and with other fursuiters. My involvement with the Fandom had waned a little bit, but not enough to completely derail things.
When the relationship fell apart, my love of fursuiting fell with it. The day I walked out of the door of the place I called home for nearly three years, I left my fursuit there. I don't even know if that white fursuit is even around anymore...and frankly, I don't care.
As far as furry functions go, I haven't really done anything as far as social interaction since that day in 2015 when the world I knew changed forever. I didn't really have the money or the time like I used to...and I've been so out of the loop for so long, I doubt I would know what to do anymore at a furry gathering of any kind.
These days, most of my interaction has been through art channels and chat rooms. And even then, it's not as frequent as it used to be. I love furry art, and I doubt that will ever really change, but the people around it...
...well, those that I knew at one time have moved on. I doubt if anyone heard the names ColinFoxTail or Nahren SnowOx that they would recognize them...or the person behind them.
I often wonder what happened to those in my life that I met through the furry Fandom. I like to think that I made some great friendships through it. Some of the most fantastic people I had the honor of knowing were affiliated with it. People who I now doubt would remember me.
Maybe it's all a symptom of the way my life has changed. I want to think that one day things might turn around for me...but with every day that passes, that hope gets a bit dimmer.
If you're reading this and reading anything into the words here, stop. I'm in generally good health and I have no plans to do anything drastic with my life. I'm just trying to put together pieces of a life that I once knew...that's all.
If any of you have made it this far down, thank you for hearing me out. If I knew you at one point and you happen to remember me, please say hello.
Anyway, I've bugged you for long enough. Take care of yourselves...and again, thank you for reading this.
