Upon doing one of those ever-amusing memes that float around here, it dawned on me that I've been keeping my fursona 16 years old. I'm now 26, and she and I barely relate anymore.

Aside from the fact that she's skinny and rather happy-go-lucky (where I'm more somber and now quite pudgy) I know that she's the way she is because I went through some trying times when I was 17 and my life didn't get any easier. It was safer to let Lynx be who she was and not let all the drama in my life change her. But now she and I have grown so far apart, it's like she barely makes a mark in my life anymore.

I seem to recall I only drew one image of her being changed by who I was and the effect was so depressing, I crinkled it up and threw it away.

So I think I need to let her go - to show my inner fur with a new image. But I don't know where to start. that and I think if I do cast Lynx aside, that I'm going to be extremely depressed, because she's been with me so long.

Ugh, I'm not sure what to do. Of course, I could try and roleplay Lynx through this situation and see where she ends up, but I have a feeling I'd like her to remain who she is and start fresh instead.

Of course, I don't know where to go to get help on this sort of thing, most people I know seem to have fursonas that change over time.
