I (19M) got into Furryism 🐇 at around the age of 12. 👶 I was introduced to it by a friend (22F) while I was studying for my multiplication ❌ exam (it was really hard). She said it was really cool 😎 and was about anthropomorphic 🐱 animal characters :deerFurry: (exhibiting animalistic behaviours) with human ✨personalities✨ and characteristics. I have always had the desire to be an animal. I love animals 😍, I've always wanted to be an animal. My favourite animal is the cat. 😻 It is so fricking cute! *meows* Hehe! :bunnyFurry: I just love being a silly little cat. Ever since that day (22/05/2008), the furry fandom has been embedded 💘 into my heart! Sadly in 2005, she went to prison 👮🏽‍♀️ for smuggling drugs 🌿 (cocaine) into our country 🇳🇿 (New Zealand). I've always wanted to thank her 👧 (Samantha) for introducing me to furries. I don't know where I (Sheenz) would be without knowing 😞 the existence of furries. Every morning (7am), I wake up 🥱 and turn my computer 🖥️ on (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060) to play Furry Love (my favourite game)!! I will never forget her 👧 (Samantha) and everything she has done for me. Also, my mum 🤱 (83F) told me to stop ⛔ playing games (Furry Love and Miss Furry). The resentment 😠 that had built up forced me to chuck my controller (DualShock 4) at my mother (83F) really hard ⚡️ (127kph). 😈 I had to explain that it isn't just a game, it's a lifestyle. 🧬 It has completely changed 😲 how I perceive (anthro) life. It's an art form. The 💔pain💔, the agony, the misery, the suffering 😭 I had faced would have continued if it weren't for furries. I will always love furries! 🤗 Later that year (2026) I went to the University of Furries 🎓 to do my Furryology Exam which was really fun! I got 102% which is an A++ 🤓 which means I ✅passed✅ my freaking PhD!! *meows aggressively* This just goes to prove that if you want anything in life, you should go for it! 🙏 Don't let others pull you done, get right back up ⬆️ and prove them wrong! ☝ There is nothing wrong with being a ✨Furry✨ so don't let other people belittle 💖you💖 for it!! #FurryForLife #FurryNation #FurryPride
