Hi! Cargie here. I wrote most of this in mid-2024, to commemorate my 30 year anniversary as a member of the furry fandom, a subculture that unquestionably changed my life.
Parts of it have been revised and updated, as my life now is quite different than it was in 2024 when it was written.
It is intended for a general audience, however, there is mention of NSFW topics and you should be 18 years of age or over if you are reading it.
Content warnings apply for discussion of sexuality and kinks. Specific content warnings apply for discussion of CSA and self-harm in specific chapters.
In 1994, a magazine article changed the course of my life.
