19th anniFURsary
a year ago
No, I haven't forgotten.
Just doing stuff.
Today marks my 19th year of officially finding the fandom and being a furry.
I was actually 19 when I found the fandom (though I was 14 when I started making my own character. Not this character).
Things have changed over the years. The fandom isn't the same as it was when I joined.
Though I guess that's because society as a whole has changed. Change is going to happen to everything, regardless.
After about 10 to 15 years, I've seen the fandom loop back around to another cycle, though I still haven't seen it return to the fandom like when I joined.
To be honest, I'm not really a fan of a lot of it. It's difficult finding people and small groups that are very similar to the time I joined, or at least hold a lot of the same values and stuff.
When I thought I found one, there's always that one person that kinda ruins it. But the way the group works is that it centers around that particular person. If they go, the whole group collapses. It's silly.
Meh, I'm not really a group person anyway. Hanging out with like-minded people is good and all, but I find myself being, or wanting to be, alone more often then not.
I don't know where the fandom will be in another 19 years, or if I'll even be around in by then (I nearly died at the end of July randomly). But in my heart, I am a furry. I think. So even if the fandom goes the way of the Goth fandom, and let's hope it doesn't, I'd like to believe that even if there are no more fur sites or furs anywhere near me, that I'd still be a fur all to myself.
Something like that.
I'd celebrate if I had money, time, and didn't have so much other stuff going on.
