Well, yesterday (May 25th) was my 29th birthday. And while I was sitting and drawing, I got to thinking about my past fursona’s and my most current one.

So, I did a lil drawing of 3 of my past fursona’s.

1.) This is the one most people around here most likely have not seen. When I started off, I couldn’t make up my mind what to draw myself as. I knew that it was going to be a cat of some kind, but not really sure what kind or markings and colors. So, I ended up with just a simple, white kitty. She was perfect for me at the time cause I was about 20 years old at the time and going through so many changes in my life. Trying to find out who I was. So a white kitty gave me a blank slate so to speak. And from that, she grew into having a simple black eye patch and one orange ear…thus changing into my next fursona…

2.) I have to say that my next fursona was among my most popular. People seemed to really love my simple calico look that was so basic in markings, yet everything else about her was not. It was during this time in my life that I was out, having fun, doing the things I wanted to do, but was affraid to do. Finally getting a chance to express myself. I still have a very special place in my heart for this fursona and find myself, from time to time, doodling her on a page. She still finds ways to pop up on me. But, as always, things change and my life started to take changes again….

3.) In 2006, my life took some big changes for me. My mom finally met a new guy who made her really happy, and I finally met a guy who made me really happy. This was the end of my mom being well, ‘the mom’ and I finally started moving into ‘adulthood’ so to speak. Yeah, sure I was 26 years old, but I still lived at home and mom was always there to take care of things…but not anymore. I felt that my simple lil kitty was not working anymore. I did a great deal of looking to find something that I felt fit. I wasn’t looking for another kitty, but one came up…a Margay. Small, beautiful, different from other cats…it just fit. I feel like in this form I can still come off with the playful, sometimes childish rolls that my other fursona’s let me, but also reflect the grown woman I have become. This fursona doesn’t seem to get the same love as the last one, but she fits me for this time in my life and I love her. ^_

So, I have changed, yet each one in some way is me and all fit. It has been a crazzzzzzy 29 years, but now I find myself living with the man I love and planing a wedding with him. So my life will change again, and who knows…maybe my fursona will have to change again.
