Hello everyone!
I've had an account here for half a year, but haven't uploaded content since I created this account. I hope to change that. At of the time of this journal entry, I've done my best to upload my poor excuses for artwork. It is my hope that I can be a contribution not only to this specific community, but to the furry community as a whole.
I'll share a little bit about myself if you would like to stick around to hear it.
I am currently 21 years old and entering my final year of university. I'm very introverted (sorry, I drain fast) and like dabbling in all sorts of different activities. I enjoy the quiet and relaxing nature of solitary interests and as such have become somewhat of a removed, but pleasant person for my age. I've never kissed anyone and I've never really had the urge to. The only time I've ever had alcohol was to treat a sore throat when I was sick (I know, lame). My favorite colors are purple and green and I can't stand loud noises. I hardly ever use my social media accounts, but I do enjoy browsing content online, furry or otherwise.
I have had a negative view of furries since I first learned about them in high school. Back then I believed every negative stereotype about this entire fandom. At the time, I only knew one furry; a shy, difficult to talk to young man who had a reputation of being a bit strange. This was my first exposure and didn't do much to help my image of the furry demographic. I've never had very mainstream interests myself, but I still held myself to some false higher standard. It wasn't until I entered college that I really began to loosen up. As I became more intrigued with the visual arts, I spent more and more time on sites like deviantArt and the like. Consequently, I was subjected to quite a bit of furry content that challenged my preconceived notions of what furrydom was.
Over time, my view of furries changed from strange, socially inept sexual deviants to a collection of genuinely talented, happy, and welcoming individuals. In the past year and a half, I have slowly transitioned into the furry fandom myself, joining scores of others that share my interests in character design, self-expression, and yes, anthropomorphic characters. Since then, I have joined multiple communities, made a fursona, spent time developing my artistic skills, and enjoyed exploring a side of myself that I never would have guessed existed three years ago. I may not mention it irl, but I'm proud to be a part of this community and I hope my presence is a blessing to others here ^w^
I try to be approachable online, so feel free to message me with any questions or if you'd just like to talk.
