Like legitimately, my mental health has never been better. I love these reflections of me to death, and so I've learned to love myself.

in reply to @Inkwel's post:
I'm not anywhere near a decent computer to really dig deep but I do remember there was a study that, while not specifically furry, did find that people who has constructed external personas had a stronger mental resilience, as if bad stuff could be deflected away onto an external thing even if that external thing is you.
Oh, I absolutely believe it, having experienced this and other mental health benefits.
I have felt like a more fully expressed person with each new fursona I created...and to be Seen and joyously accepted for who and what I am each time is a delight beyond description and beyond comparison.
The act of choosing how you wish to be perceived by the world can be an incredible venue for self discovery and revelation, if one is willing to close their eyes and look deep inside to ask what really moves you as living breathing thing.
Having done that, I truly feel like I know myself better now than I ever have in any other point in my life.
I genuinely believe I would be a different, less vibrant person if I didn't have this funny little animal person hanging out in my head.
Oh I completely agree, furry culture absolutely encourages you to embrace your weirdness and celebrate it.
Well, the parts of furry culture that aren't trying to sanitize it in hopes of broader acceptance, anyway.
