Postfurry: A Personal Definition with Regards to Identity 

"Just because it's not possible now doesn't mean it won't be possible later, won't be completely valid later, and doesn't mean it's not perfectly valid NOW."

Extrapolation, meaning, self-affirmation 

Finding postfurry as a concept for me was about connecting all the pieces of my own life, identity, sexuality, kinks, etc with that of my paracosmic self. The ideal self that I would play in RP, escape into. It was realizing, finally, that I didn't have to separate and handwave off my desires just because they were (and imagine me air-quoting this with two additional synthetic arms while I type) "Impossible"

Extrapolation, meaning, self-affirmation 

It was also about my very -nature- of a dreamer personality. It was about having my history of family and folks always criticizing my daydreaming and troubles with (with help from ADD) focusing on anything that wasn't Off In The Clouds not just VALIDATED but fucking -EXHALTED-.
