One Year Journal
9 months ago
Its been a year since I've made this account and I'm glad that I did because there were things I didn't expect to happen that did and it delighted me. I think about it sometimes and it gives me vigor to want to keep pushing forward.
Before this giving a little history, I have actually had an account made in 2017 so I can browse this site. And going back again I had only found out what a furry is from wikipedia back in 2014 through a google search but did not think of it as anything significant at the time. How I found out is another story. I did always liked anthropomorphic animals and animals in general from a young age because there were so many animated movies and shows about them it just hooked me right away. I would always switch the tv to the National Geographic channels and read their magazines in the library back in highschool.
Anyways not going any deeper than that, I didn't post anything on that old account or interacted in any way because I felt I was too young to. My drawing skills were bad and I've only started taking it seriously at the start of 2022 going right back to the basics. I originally had this Animal Jam character which was a blue wolf (ahaaa yeah...) which I planned to make my fursona, but then decided not to. So I never had a fursona until a period where I had a lot of free time in September of 2023 that I finally settled with the border collie that I am now. It took me a week to find a design I like and felt like it was me. Another few months and this account was made.
Yeah, I just wanted to share this a bit. Right now feels like a turning point in my life because there are a lot of things going on. Of course I plan to keep going as I don't see this passion ever going away. Thankyou everyone. To anyone who've read this, have a wonderful day! :)
