So I'm trying something new: I think I want to try to make a monthly check in journal just to chat/yell into the void, I think letting my followers know me as more than "the green furry porn cat" will be nice.

For this first update journal I'm officially introducing myself, just to give people a better idea of who the person behind the canstacat account is.

So hi! I won't give my real legal name(although some older followers & people I'm in regular contact with already know it lol), you can just call me junie for the time being until my new fursona's refsheet is finished. I'm 26 years old, & I've always wanted to do something creative for a living & I hope I can eventually make that dream a reality. I went to college for nursing from 2017-19, & art school from 2019-2020, ultimately I failed both. I did take Japanese classes & had a nice time learning a second language even if it isn't the one I initially planned on learning(the class I wanted was full)

I've had mental health issues for most of my life, I finally started getting treatment for it last year & it's making a HUGE impact on my life, I have a real smile on my face for the first time in probably 16+ years and it's wonderful!

As some og followers probably already know, I'm transgender (they/them and she/her pronouns are both okay) & asexual, I rarely bring it up since it's not very relevant to the content on this account but it's almost pride month so I figured, why not officially come out 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Lastly, if you're interested at all in chatting you're welcome to talk to me on these monthly update journals,I welcome it! I'm outgoing & enjoy talking with people on here, most of you are very nice.

Also a reminder that I just started learning how to make music, you can listen to me at  catcoma

I think that more or less wraps up my check in, I'm looking forward to doing this again!
