Apologies and Explanations

Hello everyone. If any of you follow me on Deviant Art, then you've probably noticed the changes to my DA page. Primarily the deletion of "Mature Rated" artwork. I admit that at one time, I even began to bash on the furry community. I'm sorry for this. I quickly took it down, as it went against who I am. I am a member of the furry community and I'm proud of it! At least I am now.
Please allow me to explain my sudden behavior change on DA. You see, for a long time now, I've been the kind of person who believes that I should base my life entirely on the happiness of other people. Because of this, I've never really been that happy about my life. This is part of the reason for my depression and suicidal tendencies. A part of me wants to make sure my family is happy with me and the choices I make in life, and that includes saying no to pornographic material and pretty much anything that's considered "weird". My family is very religious and I was afraid that my artwork and the style of stories that I wanted to tell wouldn't be acceptable to them. So I tried to change my life. I tried to turn away from the furry community and meant turning my back on many of my best fans and online friends. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a very religious guy too. But I believe that enjoying some "adult" material isn't that bad. In my opinion, it's a lot better than getting drunk, doing drugs, and whoring around with sluts. Of course, a lot of people don't seem to see it that way...
Some time has passed since I made the changes. And I'm still not happy. There's a part of me that wants to make comics for children, and another side that wants to make sexy, furry, action stories. I felt like I was being torn apart. I've done some thinking, talking, and searching. I've realized that there's more to life than trying to make others happy if it means making yourself miserable. Now don't get me wrong, I'm naturally a kindhearted guy who enjoys helping others, but sometimes I just want to let this other side out and not have to worry about how I'll be treated for it. It's complicated to explain.
Anyway, that's when I realized that I was happiest here on Fur Affinity. You guys and gals liked me and my artwork. You made me feel like a real person. And what did I do? I tried to change myself and turned my back on this great community. I'm very sorry for that.
I now know who I am. I am two people in one body. A man who wants to make children comics and a guy who wants to give the furry community some hard rockin' action comics. But I can't be both at once. So for now, I've decided to follow my "White Wolf" instincts and create my sexy, furry, action stories for all of you, my only REAL friends, to enjoy. Later in life, if God allows me to live long enough, I'll try to create children's stories for kids and their families to enjoy. But for now, I'm a young guy who's got a wild side that wants to make itself known.
In closing, I just wanted to say I'm sorry again. I hope you all can forgive me for my actions. My depression has been over the top lately, and for some time it seemed that suicide was the only answer. I couldn't think straight and I thought that changing my life would help, but it didn't. So now my DA page is for my "calm" stuff, and FA is my home, where I can be myself and not have to worry about ridicule. You guys and gals really are the best fans and friends I've ever had and I can't say how sorry I am for turning my back against all of you. I can only hope that you'll forgive me and continue to offer your support as I try to make my comic book dreams come true.
Thanks everyone!
