Taking a step back
7 years ago
This morning on the way to the park to catch the sunrise, I noticed the full moon low on the horizon.
In many Wiccan and Pagan traditions, the full moon is the time to start diminishing or outright eliminating something from your life.
You set your intent to no longer do something or to take a break from it and then you follow through with that intention as the moon wanes. By the time of the new moon, what you want gone is... gone.
With the sheer amount of hate in the fandom recently and all the bickering back and forth even within established groups, I have decided to set my intention to reduce my involvement in all things furry. Perhaps I will be back someday when things have calmed down. Perhaps not.
I have already stripped most of the info from my FurAffinity profile and I have left several fur groups that I was involved in both on Discord and in Telegram. I will not be attending any fur cons or fur meets for the foreseeable future. I will remain in contact with close friends, most of which I already have on friends lists outside of FA.
This will almost certainly be the last thing I ever post to FurAffinity. I will remain a watcher and might occasionally favorite some artwork now and then, but that's about it.
What stories and pictures I already have here will probably remain for posterity sake if nothing more. For those I do not already have contact information for outside of FA, send me a note with whatever name you go by the most on Telegram, Discord or Steam and I will see about adding you to my contact list there.
I never thought I would say I say its time to move on from the furry fandom, but perhaps that is exactly what its time for.

I know what its like to post something and get some hate on it, and I know it can make you feel pretty bad, even ruin your whole
day or week, and it can leave you feeling unmotivated and everything depending on how bad it got to you, but if you really enjoy
being in the fandom and it makes you happy then keep positive and keep doing what you like.
I mean its completely up to you, but I feel like your giving up a little too fast here.
But in the end its all about doing what you think is best, only you have the final say in what you do. But this does make me sad
reading this.
