When I'm done, I'm giving up.
13 years ago
After I've finished my commissions,
I'm giving up drawing.
I'm giving up furry.
I'm giving up fursuiting.
I'm giving up art whoring.
I'm going to be normal.
I have always been a firm believer that you cannot just simply 'leave' the furry fandom. But I feel nothing for it anymore. (Well, to be honest, I don't really feel much...)
I have enjoyed my time here, met some awesome people, had some fun times, but it's just... died in me.
You can't draw without emotion, and for the past few weeks, I've had none. I'm stuck in the same boring rut of trying my hardest to draw something, failing, trying to draw it again, failing, over and over again... And I know as much as any fucker no one is even going to look at the shit I draw. Okay, the people commissioning it might look at it once and say thanks, but after that it'll probably just be saved to a drive and never looked at again. I'm not having a go at anyone here, it's just what I feel.
I have no idea what I will do instead. I've been furry for as long as I've been alive (One of my first words was woof, ffs) and I have no idea what normal humans do. I think I'll keep Xyx and do more cosplaying, I guess that is fursuiting but meh, I can't get rid of her, I love her... I guess I'll google how to be a normal person :B
I'm not saying I'm leaving the fandom forever, I'm just saying I'm leaving until I feel it again. Who knows when that'll be. But for now, I'm out. I'll finish the commissions, but after they've been submitted, you won't be seeing me for a long while.
But I'd like to take this chance to say thank you to my watchers, and to the awesome people who did art for me. I appreciate everything you've done.

I didn't want to sound cynical or unsympathetic with my initial response to your journal, but those who cling to everyone who wants to move on to the next thing are just making the road out full of pot holes and speed bumps
Well thanks, anyway :P
Or if you're really giving up drawing, enjoy whatever hobby you find next.
And yeah, what Onidrase said. Life changes, moves on, evolves. Things that were your priority one day may become less important. Something that made you tick, later becomes dull and boring. Some friends come and go, others stay your whole life.
So yeah, enjoy your next move, and keep having fun! You'll be missed!
I hope you come back soon.
I love your art and I love you <3
I guess you won't wanna trade then?
(Not to bother you at all, I know you've got lots going on)
You'll be missed <3
