Our mere existence is enough reason to carry on. Never let others steal your lust for life. Life is all you have and it is all you will get. Cling to it until the universe says it's time to let go. Then rest, only then have you earned it.

Draw yiff..... Lol no but I told em I wear a collar- and everyone in my life knows the collar deal- if they can't piece together my anthro works and the collar together then I just won't tell em.  Life flies like frisbee, it's just how one goes about fetching it ^_^.  Gl to those who feel the need to tell someone!

The thing is not everyone is familiar with "furry". And some will never know- but good luck yet again, and look past now to more of how good it'll be when others know your a furry, it helped me- I'm practically the dog in our little circle of friends- beach trips are more interesting now ^_^

i already told my parents and like everything i say they don't bother investigate. I've told all my friends and they seem fine. my main worry is that they will research it and find the hater's opinion first.

"Normal" is a word for something that doesn't exisit. It was created by those who don't challenge the status quo, and don't aspire to greatness.
Happiness is the way the Universe rewards those who face the hardships in their lives head on, with determination in their hearts.
Love is what binds us all together, what keeps us sane, makes us insane, holds the world and Universe together.
In my mind, it doesn't matter where you are going, where you've been, where you are, nor even the journey you're on. What matters is that you keep moving, no matter where you're going, where you've been, and where you are. Just keep moving.
