A lot to get off my chest
12 years ago
I really didn't want to speak out about what I'm about to but since the year started, a lot of things and people have really been pushing my buttons and I'm well beyond the limit of what I can take. I'm taking this time to get quite a few things off my chest. A lot of it involves people lying to my face, it involves respect, and it involves what I will and will not do regardless of what anybody thinks.
First. I pointed this out after FWA happened but I feel it must be addressed again. I originally didn't want to go to Furry Weekend Atlanta this year. I was going to skip and then have a good time at FCN the next month but I got pulled to the side by several people that I consider some of the closest friends I'll ever have. They all decided to tell me basically the same thing. "Come to FWA, we'll hang out, you'll have fun, and we'll have a good time together." I made it to FWA and decided to act on those plans. In total out of those three days I think I spent a total of 45 minutes with all of my friends who talked me into going and every time it was just in the hotel lobby on the couch or at the diner down the street for a quick meal. Those few minutes I spent with those friends as well were just sets of downtime they had away from other people or their mates they kept rubbing in my face (I had just been dumped too at that time). I was alone, depressed, and just beyond upset that people talked me into spending over $500 to get to a con they would just blow me off at anyway.
Thanks to this I've decided that if ANYBODY wants me to go to a con to hang out with them, you have to make plans and keep them, you have to provide hotel space, and a ride for me there. I am not blowing off my hard earned money to do nothing and spend time alone anymore.
Next is a very touchy subject but I have to point it anyway.
Next is my religion. I am a very proud follower of Christianity, I have my own views on it, I follow the rules how I've seen them explained to me, I follow under my savior, the lord himself, and most of all. I keep it at a personal level only. What right does this give anybody to insult me and tell me I'm just some nut believing in an invisible man in the sky? I do not force Christianity on anybody and to be perfectly honest I couldn't care less what other people follow or don't. What's your argument? "Oh but you're gay, you're not a true Christian." Mind telling me which of the 10 rules I follow to heart tell me that I can't be with another man regardless of what my body tells me I'm attracted to?........Yeah, thought so.
Just because I'm openly religious doesn't mean I force anything on anybody, stop trying to force yours on me and keep it personally.
Next subject. What I can and cannot do as a furry.
Am I supposed to care what everyone says about me fursuitting in public? Do I have to care what people think about me applying to be on television? Not really but people think so anyway. Over the last few days on Twitter I've gotten some direct messages from people begging me not to do what I'm going to do because apparently I'll "Ruin the fandom" like furry fandom is one of the highest thought of communities as is right?
Regardless of what people think I'm still going to try out for the "Oh Sit" gameshow because I love athletic competition and I'm still going to fursuit at WWE Payback next Sunday night. I bought the tickets, that gives me right to do what ever the fuck I want at the Allstate Arena. Don't like it? Tough titties.
Finally. I can go for any life goals I want to set for myself. I don't care what you think is better.
For the duration of the year so far I've had the heart and passion to finally follow my dreams of becoming a professional wrestler and to become what ever company's Champion. It has been something I've been day dreaming and fantasizing about since I was a child yet I'm not supposed to do it because it's not a typical furry's dream? Fuck that. If I followed what most people think is the typical furry dream I'd have a nine inch gap as my asshole and I'd be flat fucking broke because of all the porn I bought.
I don't want to be a dancer, I don't care if I end up as a "Popufur" or not. I want what I feel would be best for me and those around me. I love my friends closer than anything in the world and I couldn't be happier than some love me back the same.
If you don't want to show me the love and respect I want to show for others, get away from me.
I'm sorry I had to post this but being told I shouldn't be doing something over twitter just really sent me over the hill.
This is how I have been feeling over the last 6 months in 2013 and all I ask is just for a little bit of respect.
