So, this is a very vulnerable thing for me to talk about. I am totally a closet furry. Social norms and mores prevent me from expressing this other side of me. I am a male, furthermore I am a combat veteran of the war in Iraq. I have a beard an tattoos and I feel pressure by the people in my environment to be masculine and badass. I generally dont care about what people think. I have piercings in my face and I feel I am more alternative than anything with a fuck off attitude to add to the mix, but this furry secret is an escape from all this, it is an escape from me, the fucked up, violent, depressed me. I feel I can be playful and not have all the troubles and problems the real me has, I can be happy. Thats what this world brings me, an escape into happiness. So there it is, people I have never met. This world is new to me and I am a work in progress, but I am a furry. Fuck off if you dont like it, im not doing it for you.
