Long time no anything.
9 years ago
Hey. I've been putting off posting a journal for a while, because I wanted to post something very lengthy which would probably take at least a couple of hours to write. But instead, I'm going to try to keep it somewhat brief and see if I can get through it fairly quickly. This will probably be to everyone's benefit.
There is a very good chance that I will be disabling, or at the very least clearing out, this account in the near future. This is not a snap decision based solely on the recent attack on FA. It's something I've been considering for quite a while, probably even a couple of years. There are many reasons, and while it isn't really necessary for me to detail what those reasons are, they include a feeling of disconnect from the community, general depression, lack of musical activity, and yes, site issues.
Honestly, it's been a long time since I've felt any real connection to the furry community. Again, several reasons for this. I'm still interested in furry as a genre, but I need more than that to connect with other people. Music used to be the vehicle for that, but as my productivity has declined, so has the connection.
Recent site issues are a factor, but only one of many-- the last straw, so to speak. Seeing as how before these events, I was already considering this, I've now reached a point where I'm not sure if being here isn't more of a liability than an asset.
It'd be different if people were still discovering and enjoying my music, but I honestly can't remember the last time anyone favorited or commented on anything I've done. Any time I log in and see that I have a new favorite, it's invariably on a piece of gift art that somebody else did for me. And frankly, a couple of years of that happening over and over is a real kick in the teeth.
So that might be happening as soon as I save everything I want to from the account. Just a heads up to anyone who might be concerned.
[One last thing-- if you are interested in keeping up with me, the only place I'm currently active on is Twitter. https://twitter.com/kiffa_kitmouse ]

Whatever you decide to do, I respect your decision and wish you all the best.
So I already am disconnected from the fandom, and have been for at least a couple of years. This is just me more or less making it official... at least for now. I'm not severing ties with anyone I'm still close with. I'm just having a hard time thinking of a good reason to be here anymore.
