Eleven years. It has been something like eleven years since I first started looking at furry art. Eleven years, five months, if I'm to believe the time stamps stored in the very oldest of my saved furry images.

But it's only now that I finally feel like I belong. I owe it to the gentle encouragement of the awesome friends I met only a few months ago, and the gentle threats of one in particular who refused to let me give up just because I didn't know where to start.

Thank you guys. I would never have been able to do it alone.
