Hmm.. how to answer that one:
Not so sure I 'became' a furry so much as finally understanding that the other me I'd been repressing for years was not the bad angry thing I thought it was. Accepting that I had a wolf spirit that had been with me as far back as I can remember, and actually opening up and allowing my wolf to share my life, it only made sense to take on the physical likeness that Naake ni embodied.
I think sharing who I am with others here has allowed me to be open with my mate, and my very close friends about who and what I really am, as well as helping me explore and understand who Naake ni is...
