Just wanted to post something not only to show that I'm alive, but that I also am very thankful for everyone who watches/follows and comments! My shyness towards joining and socializing may always be here, and I don't follow up on building relationships very well. The Internet before "social networking" really was where I found myself as a furry, as a non conformist, and where I could hide in little corners with the other shy people. I'm almost 40 and it took me this long to be who I am.

Which is why this is a Pride Month entry! I don't know what I am, only that I feel better in the LGBTQIA+ community...I don't have to define myself when I'm around others in those circles. With the help of the furry community and some real world convention encounters, this just feels like a comfortable spot.

In short, Happy Pride Month! Perhaps with finding more comfort with myself within myself, and reaching some kind of age milestone in the process, I'll learn to keep finding my place. Please know that I value this community more than I can probably even put into words, and hope I can someday give back in meaningful ways. Thanks for being cool everyone!
