dear furries
yes, a letter to ALL of you.
i owe you for returning my sanity, my happiness (weak and small as it is, it's no longer diminishing), and, well...facilitating the things that only time can heal. thank you for forging friendships with me. thank you for giving as much effort as you could into helping one of your own.
there's a song i related to today...Sufjan Stevens, "John My Beloved:" 'so, can we pretend sweetly, before the mystery ends? i am a man with a heart that offends with its lonely and greedy demands. there's only a shadow of me; in a manner of speaking, i'm dead.'
and, later in the song, almost as a sort of tribute to all of you beautiful and brightly shining human beings with an unprecedented capacity for love and understanding: 'so, can we be friends sweetly, before the mystery ends? i love you more than the world can contain in its greedy and ramshackle head.'
stay strong, stay safe, stay you, and stay great.

A kitty ready to be done lurking and looking for some friends!
Hello all my fluffy people. I'm done lurking. I've been on reddit for years, but I created this alternate account last night to officially join the community. I'm new to the fandom (at least newly admitting it to myself). I'd love to make some friends. I need to work on a fursona as well. I'm an almost 21 year old male from California and I'm a kitty cat. I'm on Xbox and have various other social media accounts for chatting. I'll delete this post in a couple of days, as to not clutter anything up. Just wanted to say that I'm here and you'll see me around! Meow.

Saw this on r/art "Egyptian God, markers"
Far, far from perfect. But here's my first draft of Splat the gremlin. I would love opinions and suggestions.
Today is my Cake Day
Thus, you must participate in the Reddit tradition of showering me in compliments and blessings.
My body is ready.
(In a more serious tone, it appears I've been here for a while, and hope to remain more so in the presence of this community. You've been more than just a sub, but a great group of friends, of whom I've been honored to know. Big thanks to /u/Dukurow, /u/Nitram_Hu, /u/McFluffypom, /u/_Ravi_, and many others. )

How do you deal with failure?
We would all like to say that no matter what we never gave up, that we can do anything we push through, but sometimes, for one reason or another, you just can't. So what do you do to deal with it?

16-Year-Old's Mother Won't Let Him Date
I am dating this girl but my mother doesn't want me to date anyone. She tells me to date when I'm older but I think it's unfair. I don't want to keep her a secret. I speak to her on Skype but my mother is always around so I tell her I'm speaking to a friend.

Hi, Zozo,
There is tremendous pressure for people your age to date and have girl- and boyfriends. There’s probably also a lot of pressure at your school to have a girlfriend, yes? Do some of your friends make fun of you because you don’t have a girlfriend?
You’re no doubt aware of the risks taken when young people get together alone and things get a bit carried away. I’m not going to give you a birds and bees lecture, but you’re mother is no doubt concerned about this. Of course, you’re likely confident that you can date a girl without having sex. Not knowing anything about you, I can’t predict how well or how poorly you control your hormones, but one could imagine that if an opportunity afforded itself where the two of you were alone, the kissing became passionate, and the condoms absent, trouble could ensue.
Another factor here is your mother’s past, believe it or not. If she, for instance, became pregnant at an early age and/or the man who got her pregnant abandoned her and her child, she’s going to try her darndest not to let the same thing happen to you, whether or not you feel such fears are justified.
Sneaking around will get you caught, eventually. Your mother is likely suspicious and will be closely monitoring you. Her house, her rules, as the saying goes. But please look upon her actions as being motivated not to be a controlling jerk to you but, rather, because she loves and cares about you and wants you to have a happy future, which can be very difficult if you have children when you are a teenager.
The solution is the opposite of your current strategy: instead of secrecy, you should be completely transparent about your behavior and activities. This will help build trust, and with trust, generally, comes a loosening of the leash. Key to this is to have an open dialog with your mother and to establish ground rules about dating. As a conversation breaker, here is an excellent article from Parenting magazine about allowing teens to date and what to do (some quizzes are included).
I know you’ve had a conversation before, but it was probably more confrontational than constructive, am I right? Something like, “Mom, all my friends are dating; why can’t I? You’re not being fair!” and so on. In your conversation, acknowledge right away that you recognize your mom has only your best interests in mind and that you know she loves you and that you love her. Ask her to have a conversation with you and to discuss her fears and hopes for you. Listen to her; don’t argue at this point. Show her the linked article, and just ask her to talk with you about it.
As you progress, discuss rules about dating that she will be comfortable with, such as curfews and, perhaps, checking in with her by phone occasionally. Also, start with your going to group functions such as parties where girls will be allowed and that are supervised by adults. Approach things gradually and give your mother time to become comfortable with the fact that you are a healthy soon-to-be-adult who needs to learn the ropes of having a relationship (can you imagine being an adult of 30 or more and not knowing how to date properly?) Have her recognize that allowing you to date is part of being a good parent and that her participation in it is not only expected but appreciated. Ask her for advice on dating, and don’t ignore what she says. She is, after all, a woman and knows what women are looking for.
My parents didn’t give me much input on dating, and boy was I bad at it! You have the opportunity to learn from your elders and be good at dating! Take advantage of it while you’re young.
Good luck!
