well everyone does the furry thing there own way
for me..its a interest...a hobby and partialy my lifestyle.
i love to draw furries, but i draw lots of other things (not lately tho im swarmed with furry comissions lol) fantasy characters have alwase been a huge thing for me, as ive been drawing it since before i was in elementary school.
i dont fursuit (would if i had one) but i do have furrywear that i don now and again. sometimes ill wear a fox tail around the apartment...go on outing with it on. i got a collar that i wear all the time, and even a T-shirt that says "im a furry, pet me". and a nifty fox eared hat that i like to wear in the winter...its nice and warm
as for the interests..i find myself socialy intersted in the furry fandom..i like to hear see and read about it, look at the art..talk to other furries and even uh...spend my night hours looking at "other" kinds of furry art. (but not ALL furries are as me..just reminding)
lifestyle...i find myself making animal noises now and then..if my mate tickles me i yip in shock...if something hurts i whimper a lil..and i even lick my mate on his nose as a lil furry affection. (he isnt a furry but he thinks its cute)
my favorite thing about the furry fandom is its people..i love how open, loving, non-judging and open minded its people are. sexual orientation, religious beliefs, creed..nobody judges here. its a loving close knit community and you get a feeling of belonging. like your apart of something massive.
