So this week I started therapy for the first time in my whole life. I'm 39, and for the longest time I've referred friends to mental health counseling but never actually gone myself. I was prepared, I had a list of things I've thought through a thousand times over, but I wasn't ready for the joy of talking to another human being who was engaged and interested and enthusiastic about helping specifically me. I told him about furry, about D&D, about my struggles with identity and self-confidence and self-criticism, and he took it all in stride.

I hope to change a lot of things soon. I want to figure out who I really am and how to be happy with that. I want to be more social and meet new people again (which is part of the reason I'm typing this here!) and I want to pursue the things that bring me joy.

I'm in closed beta right now, but it's going well and the future is looking really bright. 💜🏳️‍⚧️
