Hello there to all who read this.

As a furry fan I have always felt odd and different because of what I like and who I am. I'm afraid to be who I am because the friends I here in real life are all I got other than ones I've made online. I just feel like I'd lose them trying to be more like myself then what I seem to be. The other day one of them decided to crack jokes at me simply because I'm a furry and because I tries to open up to him about myself. Well I'm tired of feeling down because of what others say and if you want some inspiration to be yourself simply, read these:

"You all laugh at me because I'm different, while I laugh at all of you for being the same."
-Johnathan Davis

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
― Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter

“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.”
― Harvey Fierstein

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.”
― Jim Morrison

“The more you try to crush your true nature, the more it will control you. Be what you are. No one who really loves you will stop loving you.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels
