Just Sitting
I took the night off tonight from computer games, watching Twitch streamers, or interacting with others on VR Chat or in Discord.
This night, I decided to step back and spend some time with a little Lynx I know, who has a penchant for feeling her feelings and speaking her truth.
I meet up with her in a quiet spot in my furry world; she exists in her own books and art, but willingly came to visit with me in my furry space.
Once we were there, in a lovely little grove, she reminded me to stop and to listen to my body and see how I was feeling inside. Once I acknowledged my feelings, I could then see if anything is needed to be said and chose the right words that express my truth and say them with loving intent.
I am Spread Too Thin
It has been too long since have been in my Furry Space. I am also sad that I have not been reading as many furry stories and spending as much time with the writers and artists I enjoy as I have in the past.
I miss going to these places, but I keep getting drawn to meeting with other furs in my human space, so my visits have been diminishing.
Those in my furry space understand this, and patiently wait, while I focus on social media posts, playing group games and undertaking activities with other furries in my human space.
I also offer this small explanation to those other artists who have maybe noticed my less frequents visits and comments and hope they understand as well.
This is the price of being a social animal, I suppose. We humans meet in a neutral zone, apart from our own imagined worlds, each in furry finery (suits, masks, ears, merch, and badges) and have a show and tell, but then we just drift back to more human topics afterwards. I wish there was a way we could just step through a veil and have our humanity blindfolded when we meet, but I don’t know how to make this happen.
So I have quite a full card for the first half of October. There are three events; I have committed to two of them that are closer to home—both non suiting picnics, and I am as yet on the fence for the third.
The third meet is a suiting event – of of two that occur each year, in the spring and in the fall with one of the first local groups that I joined up with. It is a private room affair, in an adult gaming establishment, where we eat and mingle in private and then have a small fur parade around gaming area and a group picture. It is what I have been doing in place of sleep away conventions.
The unavoidable fact is that my old body doesn’t roll like it did in my youth. I need to ensure that I am well rested for work. I need to keep my sleep hygiene in order to perform as my employer expects.
My eight hours of work comes first, until I can figure a way to live in my furry world – but even there the animals must toil to live. Thus I have even scaled back on listing to Twitch Streams while at work, as I am too easily distracted by the fun; I don’t have enough attention to pay to both my job and the stream.
So I am doing just the things that I am comfortable doing instead of over reaching for doing those that I feel are beyond my body and finances and may wind up affecting my livelihood.
