Introspection 

Somewhere, before I was born, I chose this body for a reason. That I know. It had to have a purpose, and it's a race against the short time I have to figure out why. I chose my parents for a reason, I was put in these circumstances for a reason.

Maybe it was out of curiosity? I wanted to see what being human was like and realized it was a truly fucked up situation I got myself into? Or is it something more? Either way, I feel like I'm well on the right path to figuring out why.

If I were ever to go back to school... 

I'd likely go where I could become a certified naturopath.

Gross violation of cross-dimensional physics 

Augh! Oh my god! What the he'll have I??? Clearly I need to rework my ability to summon fourth dimensional objects to this plane. I barely shred our very universe to bring this thing together! awoo.space/media/DnRieNFl1TaUe

Goofy doofy crossed eyes 

When blowing balloons to make winter solstice lanterns, watch out for getting too winded!

Gender 

There are several times where I've questioned my gender. Or even would consider myself gender fluid or nonbinary. I acknowledge that I have a female side to me. But I choose to remain a cisgender male because I want to serve as a positive role model for the other men out there that are struggling against the toxic expectations and conformist pressures that society has on them.

I honestly can't say it enough times. I owe my life to the postfurry community and those who were willing to lend an ear to the hardships I faced. My life has turned back around and I fully rediscovered myself in the process.

I have a long and hard story to tell. But I'm always willing to share it to those who are interested in knowing why I'm here, and why I wish to be such a loyal and loving friend.

A year ago, my sister got me into painting my nails. Haven't done that in a while... I prefer dark green.

What is postfurry? At the very core, it's a way of approaching what identity means.

Furry has been all about answering the question "what if people can also be animals?"

Postfurry says "okay, we can go even further than that. What if we claim authorial control over every aspect of identity? We're animal-people sure, but that's only a starting point. If the poststructuralists are right and all meaning is negotiable, let's go exploring and write some meanings of our own."

Parental Gratitude 

20 years ago, my mother divorced my father. My formative years were raised in a matriarchy. My younger sister and my single mother were the only other family in the house.

After it was discovered that I was on the spectrum, my mother faught and advocated for me all the way until I graduated high school.

I'll never take for granted her abundant compassion, love, and patience. With those virtues, I want to give back to the world in the fullest way possible.

Note to self in preparing for tattoo 

I should buy a skin marker and start tracing the scales from my freckles day I go in to get the lines done.

My favorite song that helps me rev up and get shit done? Rosetta Stoned by Tool. Something about the crazy, fast-talking lyrics of a banana splitting the sky and a blue green Jackie Chan puts my wings in hyperdrive. Now who wants Sunkist with their Sudafed?

What turned into a simple pizza order request with my Italian boss turned into a mob hit thanks to autocorrect...

Going on a trip down memory lane... The first months of living in my little spaceship. My personal Serenity. I need to get in rhe habit of taking more pictures of the Connie the Econoline on my future adventures.

Memoir 

Everyone has a story, and I'm in the process of writing mine. Some already know the story of my overall tragic year, but I'm writing down a full blown memoir with as many details as I can. This is something I need to share with everybody as a way of moving past my trauma and give hope to those who are still suffering from theirs... Because what I've endured this year is something I hope nobody else ever has to experience, and I'd give anything to unsee it.

Shout out to my all-time favorite movie 

John Carpenter is my favorite director of all time. They Live also happens to be my all time favorite movie.

After moving to Seattle three years ago, I had tried on the glasses so to speak. Since I moved into a van and started gradually phasing off the grid, they're never coming off. awoo.space/media/oG91NiHsihZp5

What do I hoard? 

Given I'm a dragon, what would I hoard? Does it have to be physical? Metaphorically, I hoard experiences. I seek them out in the people I meet and the places I go. Because experiences? Opportunities for growth? They're more valuable to me than any amount of gold in the world.
