Well, furry is a big part of my life, but unfortunately I feel like I'm missing out on a lot by but expressing it more.

When I was a teen I loved the idea of wearing a collar and having furry posters all over the walls. And now that I'm an adult in his thirties I dress very vanilla and my home decorations are too. It's like one of those things you always want to do, but then you need to either negotiate with your partner or explain things... At which I'm very bad.

How does furryness manifest in your life?

I've been sort of hovering around the furry community for years trying to decide if I really am furry or just like people shaped animal art, but lately I've dipping my toes (paws?) in the community more directly.

So far my irl life is not furry at all, but I have a couple of "secret" furry accounts, for lack of a better word. I don't live in an environment that appreciates people who stray from the "normal" as defined by some Karen's Facebook or raving church man and its going to be that way for a few years until I finish uni and can afford to permanently move out into my own place, rather than just an apartment at uni while classes are on.

Maybe I'll get more into furry culture in the future, as it looks like fun to unleash your inner child and dress up as a fluffy creature with other like minded people.
