this dance is like a weapon of self-defense against the present tense
2024-11-12 but being able to imagine I’m a humanoid cat lets me not worry about actual deficiencies of my body.
2024-11-12 I was born with atopic dermatitis, and my skin has always been a source of problems.
2024-11-12 nowadays I take experimental meds which lower the symptoms to a manageable level. I actually started liking how I look after I started undergoing treatment. probably because my skin isn’t inflamed all the damn time, so I can shift my focus from my face feeling red hot to actually appreciating how it looks.

I view being a furry not as a rejection of my body, but rather as an augmentation of it.
2024-11-12 so wanting to be a furry built up in me for 5–6 years. (it started around 2017–2018)
2024-11-12 a few months later… I stumbled upon this blog post from soatok and it made me realise just how fucking deep I was in my anti-furry Mariana trench.

soon enough I thought, “hehehehe *mydli* *mydli* let’s have some fun with my online identity!”
I started this website.
2024-11-12 a few months later, I slowly started crawling out of my shell and hittin’ truth. I added a little branch to the treehouse mildly suggesting I was a furry to people who were curious enough to click around, and finally, over a year later, in September this year I came out with a fursona.
