I know most furs have an FA account, but seeing all that's going on with it, I choose to keep myself away from such and stick to here.

Currently you can only find me on:

I enjoy fursuiting, taking photos, and meeting fellow suiters. I have a lot to learn so I am always open to ideas, suggestions, and so on. Knowledge is power!

I am shy by nature but I try to break out and meet new people. So if you see me suiting, or even out of suit, say hi! I love meeting new people and hope to make more friends over time.

I think this is something almost everyone can say they've been through at some point. We've almost all loved and most certainly have lost.

Usually this is where we see the hurt more than anything. Heck, even some of the best songs ever written were about love and break ups.

I leave the negative side to everyone else. With this journal, I prefer to seek out and show the positive side of these situations. And hopefully offer a bit of encouragement through it.

Who hasn't been in love and ended up hurt? It's hard to imagine many. I can still remember my first girlfriend and how painful it was. It felt like the end of the world. There was nothing left to be happy about. There was no future. I was devastated. Looking back NOW, it doesn't bother me as much as it did back then, but it took many, many months to get over it and try to finally move on.

"Time does not heal, it makes a half-stitched scar that can be broke, and again you feel the grief as in it's first hour"

This is both true and false. We have the choice of letting it reside in our hearts, letting it control our life and future or we can take steps forward to overcome it and move ahead. I know, easier said than done, but it is possible if you keep your head on your shoulders and don't succumb to all that negativity flying through your head.

Love and loss shape us and what we are. It is by no means easier as you go through each break up or heartbreak. However, all these moments shape us. They mold us into becoming something better, and hopefully stronger. These moments help us try to avoid repeating the same mistakes of our previous relationships.

Never give in thinking everything is gone and lost. There is always a silver lining amongst those negative moments. For every door to love that closes, another opens elsewhere, waiting to be discovered by you. You perhaps won't find it right away but given time, anything is possible.

I've suffered through many relationships in my life but even after all these years, I can say I am thankful for them. They all, in some way, shaped me into what I am now: a better person. A wiser person.

I can't promise it will be this way for everyone, but I hope whomever may read this will find encouragement and not give up in the ways of love. Sure, it hurts but you have to take that chance each time in hopes that this will be the one for you.

Don't give up on love and especially do not give up on yourself. And most importantly of all, don't rush into it.
