Hi hi ^^

Warning! Kinda mushy all the feels journal ahead ^^;

Soooo here it is Nov 22, 2016, ten years ago I officially became a furry wolfy. I guess you can call this my furry birthday. I remember when I was first starting out and seeing furs that were 10+ years in the fandom and I was like wow! Never thought I'd make it this far but here I am o.o been one hell of a ride, ups and downs. I think I started being a fur before the official time there, haha, those werewolves back in the day were very smexy after all!

I started drawing my fursona pretty right away after I signed up on DeviantArt all those years ago. Started to perfect Shade and drawing anthro for the first time. Meeting more furs and well being a furry ^^; all that time though I was totally online. It wasn't until this year, this summer that I really started meeting furries in person. Even though I've been a furry for ten years now, it feels like I'm only just starting as a furry. I met my wolfy wuff  bearkin this summer after a year knowing him online. And finally got to give my closer friends here real hugs instead of *hugs*. That felt really good, a furry for all this time and these past few months are the first time ever I knew what it felt like to hug. So ten years in and well, I guess I can say I'm starting brand new all over again.

All this time I couldn't have made it without the support of my friends here, you all really made it worth being here, supported me. Thank you all so much, I can't thank you all enough. You all are the reason I keep coming back. Love you all!

On the art front, I've been practicing and trying to get back into the groove again. I've come to the decision that I'm going to do mostly traditional art, good old pencil amd paper art. I enjoy the feel of traditional media much more then digital. I'd really love the feedback on the drawing i'll be posting cause I'll be colouring with traditional as well and experimenting with how it all works. You're feedback really helps me improve so hold nothing back!

Now than!
Here's a little tribute to the furs how I have met so far in person ^^

 bearkin my wuffy wuff of wuffyness<3 Your hugs are magical ^^ I can't thank you enough for all the times you've been there for me!!
 dragonfury999 totally awesome draggy ^^ You're awesome and always will be ^^
 hycanith I owe you many nose boops for all the support you gave me ^^ 2000+ nose boops, but who's counting?
 -karma- we so totally need to hang out more!!
 silverferak We need to go for that beer and you're getting that hug, deal with it!
 karuaze I still owe you that tackle hug!! Or two, or three >.>
 berymuch hope next time we can hang out more!!

I know to some this may seem like not a big deal to have met a few furs, but for me and those who know me well understand that i have lived a very reclusive life, trapped and held back. I don't have a lot of freedom to go out so meeting furs in real life means a lot to me. Seeing my Wolfy mate is a very very big deal to me!!!! Getting to hug my friends finally means so very much to me!! I've been a caged cave wolf through almost all of my ten years as a fur, these past few months I'm finally getting out of my cave and seeing whats out there!!

And i hope to meet many more furs in the near future! I know theres so many i want to meet in person so I can properly hug you^^ you know who you are and you're not getting out of it!! Mwhaha!! I will find you, hunt you down and pounce you with all the wolfy hugs and nose boops! Got it!!

Thank you all! Love you!!!
