9 years on FA + What to expect in future

Probably nothing important here, Squeak! :3
Well first, it's been a while since I've made a journal.
9 years... Honestly I want to say the time has flew by but in reality there's been lots of shifts in my life. Though the main thing I want to get at is how I became a 'furry' in the first place. It's likely a situation some others can relate to, you're an impressionable kid/teen who browses the internet and eventually are bound to come across some subcultures. Well my big thing was that my entire focus was beating my balloon phobia and with the lack of substantive 'content' relating to balloons, I eventually came across the furry fandom. With the furry fandom came art, and the art was *cough* great and the people were amazing!
As years went on, the only constant in my life was people here in the fandom and I would never change that. It's just that with time passing on and the growth of other sectors of looner content growing and flourishing, I've eventually found truly what I desired the entire time with looner art.
Humans + Animal features or basically Kemonomimi
After blowing through every idea I could think of with Cookie, my desire for art was honestly waning. I felt like everything I could've gotten, I had gotten and my reputation was set in stone as 'the other balloon stomper' along with StompyChar.
This past 2 years I've come to really embrace this new sector of looning, this Anime/Kemonomimi branch. The joy for commissioning art has once again been relit and it's likely that Cookie will most of the time end up being in his Neko form. I realized that while the furry fandom is awesome, I never truly was a furry enjoyer in the way others are. I still love Cat Cookie with all my being, there's just going to be double. :)
If you're not a fan of Neko Cookie you're completely free to ignore my page, I won't blame you. Though if you don't mind the hybrid shenanigans, I'll try to keep you updated on the stuff I get!

But I get where you're getting at.
You gotta do what makes you happy and not what makes others happy.
Just because I or other folk enjoy Cat Cookie more then Human or Neko Cookie doesn't mean YOU have to change for US.
Do whatcha enjoy!
Changing as a person is inevitable, though I’m not someone to forget my past. All my friendships I’ve built here are irreplaceable.
I just don’t want it to seem like I’ve turned my back on the fandom. I have one foot in furry and one foot in kemonomimi.
The fandom has place even for those that are not furry, just furry curious or even furry adjacent.
Only a few people will dislike the change or maybe not like the new you, but to them they can just unwatch and move on.
