Goodbye for now sweet books…ours will be a temporary parting…
It kinda comes down to the fact that furry made me feel better about not knowing who I was a person in my late teens/early 20s. It was a place that I could experiment with my identity and where I still can. And I think it should be that kind of space for anyone who wants to inhabit it
In retrospect I think it was kinda cool to be 16 in 2008. The world was a total mess and the economy was in shambles but there was also a vague sense of optimism you couldn’t help but feel. But this was also the age when I discovered furry, so my experience might be colored by that discovery
