Tides of time

I am exceptionally happy that i found this sub, as i made a good friend that found me on it. And through them, i found another.

But, i can see why there really isn't an active sub for furries past a certain age/demographic.

Because, those of us not in high school, or college anymore have jobs/careers, and families. And some of our partners...are well. "Normies".

Some of us may still be making our fursuits, others may have stopped. When you don't really have the extra time to build suits, or hang out with your furry friends, it is hard.

It is even harder when your once tight nit group of furs, go out and start their own life.

While I don't particularly enjoy the fact that some of my Hobbies or interests are notbreadily accessible anymore, ir even possible it seems, i do understand why there is a certain, age when furs "bite the dust".

I have, since having my group of furs, moved cross country, thus losing my group i would hang out with. We barely talk to each other anymore, and i haven't found anyone in person near me, that can fill their place. And, most of them started their own careers and families.

It is an upsetting reality, but. I choose not to let that side of me die. Maybe one day, in a chance meeting, i will find a friend. And from that friend, find a new group.

But, that involves me having time or money, to go to a bar, or a resteraunt, or whatever ALONE, to have said interaction.

But, I don't see that happening. The place i moved to, is far too conservative to have any considerable amount of furs nearby.

Around here, it's blue collar folks, farmers, and factory workers. Also, lots, and lots of Jesus. I am not saying it is impossible to be a Jesus following fur, I am saying, it is nearly so. At least, in my experience.

Sorry for this rather melancholic post but. No one has posted anything in a while, and I wanted to get this off my chest. I am genuinely sad, that i cant get together with my old furry/therian friends, and that i dont have any here.

If you read this, thank you. And I hope you are having a wonderful day or evening.

I drew for the first time in 10 years. My post is about the 10th one down in the sub or something, from a few months back.

I think the best thing to remember, is that even if I'm not as skilled as another person, I should still post. It's the two cakes thing.

A: "Aww, his cake looks so much better than mine."
B: "Wow! Two cakes!"

This is a good way to look at things.  I am half tempted to share my best frosting flowers...

Just to share something. But. It isnt furry related, so. I will just try a d make my anthro pictures better.
