Hey, folks. I'm turning 30 today and there's some things I wanted to say. It's been a while since the last journal and it was a pretty depressing one, I'm glad to put that stuff behind me.

First off I wanna say thanks for your support and appreciation for the stories I wrote. It means a lot to me that so many of you have enjoyed and continue to enjoy them.

I started working on the last chapter last month, but since then I haven't made much progress because a great guy showed up in my life and I've dedicated pretty much all of my time to him... the big lug is asleep and cuddling me as I type this, heh. I was single and depressed for the longest time, I just wanna say for everyone who's feeling that hurt, I hope you can find someone who makes life really feel worth it. We all deserve it.

Besides that, my partner's also been helping me make sense of my furry identity. I saw myself as a fox, and Rasthi was only a character who embodied everything that gets me going, but the boyfriend liked me as a tiger because he saw that as a more confident version of me, and convinced me it's better this way. So while I still don't quite identify as Rasthi, I see myself as a white tiger too – only one with a little bit of fox inside. I'm still a little unsure how I'll be portraying myself in furry spaces going forward, but hopefully I'll make sense of it soon.

Anyway, I've rambled for long enough. Tldr, I'm happy, and... old, lol. Thank y'all for reading and supporting my writings, I wish y'all the best <3
