Identity struggle, my future?
7 years ago
Alright, this has been on my mind for a while now. I'll try to keep it somewhat brief because I'm sure a lot of you see this kind of thing every day.
Regarding the furry community. I'm not sure I'm really feeling it anymore. Now don't get me wrong, it's filled to the brim with amazing and wonderful people, but what I'm talking about comes down to integration. In a sense.
At first, the community was a wonderful escape from the mundane, the cruelty, and the intolerance of reality. It was like a new home. But over the years it's been feeling more like "me and them" rather than "us."
Perhaps the community continues to evolve while I stay the same, I'm not sure. But more and more lately it seems as though I'm more a visitor than a resident. I've been considering shedding the fur for good.
But only my own. I would still remain where I am, just with a new sense of identity. I don't want to feel as though I'm forcing myself into something that I don't belong in. Nothing is definitive yet, but it's possible that I won't be taking up any more furry forms.
I'm not saying this for attention, just want people to have an understanding of where my mind is. So... yeah. That.

Feels kinda like that no matter where you go, for me mostly it's been reaching out to others, it has to reciprocate to feel like you belong, subjective circumstances excluding, maybe it's what drives others in this world to how it affects us all, we're interconnected so there is that, hope you find what you're looking for.
