My Love & Pain Philosophy
2 months ago
General
All year I've considered revealing to my audience and general public the deep history of my familial trauma. Particularly how it has inspired me down this path of kinky creativity, non-binary identity, asexuality, and plurality.
Maybe I'll do it on my birthday. I feel seen and understood by my friends, but...It'll take some time to write. I've been through alot.
There is a quality to me that repeatedly requests to be seen, for pain that I carry. Because this pain has always resonated with the confused, tumultuous relationship I have with kinks and sexuality. It has previously warped my perceptions and how I engaged with relationships which expressed along furry art and kinks. It certainly still impacts my perceptions and communication, and I struggle against the challenge with determination.
I want to share my pain, because I believe it's useful to others. I can only do this because my friends have helped me heal a tremendous deal against its everlasting sting. I'm beginning to feel ready to try and expand my love outward, and share the true depth of my pain. I believe Love is only deepened by accepted pain, processed willfully, and ideally within the support of friends.
All my life being a furry kink artist and doing little else much with my life for most of it. I've always felt like there's this deeply perverse expectation to be outwardly hiding one's troubles and struggles in favor of lubricating the moods of the present.
I think that's wrong, that it's poor behavior and that it's cowardly. It inspires the most pathetic kinds of growth in a person, in my personal and observed experiences.
I don't want to be a lubricated tool for someone's pleasure if my feelings and struggles aren't something I can discuss and have respected. Especially if my struggles are directly connected to rituals of life I partake in, like art, roleplay, and sharing online.
If I can't cry, and you can't even abide? Then there is no friendship. So why even try? Better to let the relationship die, if one can't grope for growth and hope.
So, I will grope for growth and hope, and reveal to those who choose to read it, the core experiences of my life that have affected the deepest inspirations of change and direction within me. Because that's my responsibility, if I choose to take it, in order to invite others into the opportunity to find greater understanding of me as an artist. Then it's on me to hope that they will respect me. That hope is always worth fighting for against mockery, misunderstanding, and further pain.
I am an Autistic Traumagenic Asexual Plural Schizotypal Enby Artist, and nearly all of my art is connected to expressing my pain and whimsy combined, because I'm that perverse, and I love it. Flattenings and toony concepts truly, truly mean quite everything to me, because they are the deepest, and most fun expressions I could find for my pain, combined with my love, to share.
So, maybe, November 12th, I'll tell a story of my life's pain, and how I came to toons as a response and choice. How I learned to see things, then chose to grow that perception.
I hope I can write it, it's been hanging in my head all year, and it would be a much healthier thing to do than committing a crime of vengeance on a family member, because my pain is that great. I would like to share it healthily, instead of take it out on someone. My friends have done all they could, and this is my next step for myself.
Thanks for reading.

I’m not gonna lie, i also tend to retrace the appearance of my fetish as a coping mechanism against thing a child should not experience.
Not to say our past are the same , but i must be honest, i will be glad to read your story to give my acknowledgment and encouragement. But also in a way, hear an experience that could help in my own struggle
Hope my message is not wrong in a way or misspelled. Take care of yourself !
i think its kind of funny how easy it is to write something so personal, honest and intimate in this very small corner of a subculture.
seeing others say the things i feel, something i rarely see on the sites i frequent, has made me feel less alone.
I'd like to add that it very much is not easy at all for anybody to write something deeply personal, honest, and intimate. And that's why I wanted to write this, because I wished in my time steeping into a culture that I'd encountered more folks who could speak with depth and intimacy. That was very naive of me, because I believed it to be easy.
I grew incredibly frustrated by my inability to understand why nobody else shared these things, and I felt like I needed examples in order to start myself. So instead, I chose to do what others were doing for attention and friends, instead of sharing what was truly deep and meaningful and true to my experiences in life, past and present. But I still had these terribly deep feelings and thoughts that I couldn't figure out how to share and connect with over. It tore me up inside to confront it at all, especially as it grew worse over time the more I ignored it.
I believe few people do this because it's difficult. ...And people generally don't want to expose their vulnerabilities at all on such a deep level. Usually not to themselves, especially not to others, because it's so terribly difficult on the heart and mind.
Also, I no longer feel incomplete. I'm a whole bowl of kintsugi soul, swirlin' it up with a foxy shoal~
