Furry at 30, A Common Complaint

 I've been fortunate to have already accepted this awhile ago, as someone who tends to befriend folks a few years older or a few years younger, you see it coming and how others have reacted. Some see it as the sun setting on their time in fandoms though I personally feel like this is a childish thing to believe coming from what I see as the last generation of furs having a very narrow perception of time as if we're still in high school and dating someone a year above is a big no-no, we're all over 18 and aging so let's not divide folks even more.

I'd rather hang out with someone in their 60s like Shawn Keller, part of the forever 38 club and has this fun youthful spirit than a fur in their 30s those seemingly given up because their vision of going to MFF in fullsuit getting high and wasted didn't happen yet, like cmon that doesn't sound like the greatest time if you say it out loud.

Also, it seems like with age, I no longer genuinely care about popularity. because I have had it and you know what, it's all just numbers. I use to lie to myself, oh I don't care but secretly omg plz notice me >3<. I took a few years out of the this fandom to focus on being a big artist elsewhere, I got thousands of views and a discord server of 100+ members and really, there's no difference so what is being a creator really all about then if not for that sense of making a mark? Well, it's actually about the kind of mark you want to make and I wasn't making what I wanted to so when I did come back to Arting on DeviantArt/FurAffinity etc, I made a character that speaks to me, I made art for those who matter and I haven't stopped since, which is great productivity wise.

I actually had this code cracked back in 2014 but the nature of reality means nothing is ever this constant upward trend, we all have periods where we dip back down inside ourselves like a wave.
