*This is not a prank pic, at all*
10 years ago today, I first joined this website. I was seeking to expand my diaper-based art from Deviant Art, and soon, I found out that FA would be a far more lucrative place. Not only did I receive far more friendly comments, it was also here that I made numerous friends. If it weren't for my diaperfur interest or trying this site, I never would have met any of them. Their companionship alone has made my time as a diaperfur worth it.
Unfortunately, my progress in real life during this time hasn't really, well, progressed much. 2011 was the year I graduated. I initially wanted to take college courses on Coursera to get myself a real career, but made virtually no progress. Instead, I turned to the one thing I knew, writing. I managed to publish my first book several years ago, but the second book has been stuck in writer's hell ever since. My lack of progress has caused me to doubt my abilities as a writer. Without that, I don't know what to do with my life. I can't drive, I live with family, I feel so worthless. If it weren't for my parent's generosity, I would likely be in the same position as Leon in the pic here.
I'm happy I made so many friends here, I just wish I could become a more useful person IRL.
Visual Description:
Leon, clad in a pale green cloth diaper with a knot on the side, stands on the sidewalk in front of a building. He is holding a sign that says "Will draw diaperfur art for food". On the wall behind him is another sign taped to the wall that says "I've been a diaperfur on FA for 10 years!". Leon has a Sad-goofy expression on his face as his eyes feature several red veins. The tip of his tail is missing and the stub is bandaged up (he sold his tail tip as meat).

This is certainly a bittersweet way of sharing your 10th anniversary. On one hand, you have friends and loads of acceptance where, likely, you'd always feel outcast and alone for having the interests that you do IRL. On the other hand, you want to be more than just an online presence and that, as it is for me, too, far more easily said than done.

Most of us little furs tend to be in similar situations. We want to be more outside of the internet. However, as a result of one, or more, 'quirks' and/or limitations, run into countless situations that make interacting in a positive way with the outside world extremely frustrating.
I manage to flitter and flutter in-and-out of being a part of the outside world. So I know how you feel about having the right inspiration for writing and seeking success beyond FA. There is no surefire solution, but knowing you will have your moments in the sun does help keep the self-esteem up.
And, to be fair, if I did not have support of family and friends, I'd be much like you have drawn Leon here. (This is why, when I can, I try to pay kindness forward. It's hard to give back as much as you feel you've been given. However knowing you do so through art, sharing ideas, being a friend, etc. is a great thing and nothing to be dismissed.)

I've been on FA for 14-ish years, however, I joined it because I was looking for a good alternative to DA since DA's community is very toxic and I didn't get into ABDL stuff until I was 21 or 22. Interestingly enough, I'm younger than you despite being on FA for longer. I'm in quite the predicament myself, not much progress in my life has been made at all either, which is very, very frustrating.
So yeah, FA is much more accepting of kinky furs, but does have it's own glaring issues. Personally, I hope FA eventually gets out of it's outdated-ness, I guess is the word. It's pretty archaic for being the most used furry art site.
