Then vs Now

[KittyCat72]

I'm curious, what's changed for you in life since the time you joined GF and now?

I joined almost 12 years ago. That was probably shortly after I became a pescetarian (similar to vegetarian with the exception of seafood). I was in 7th grade. Since then, I've gotten my Bachelor's in Animal Sciences. Graduated two years ago and have been traveling ever since. I love the Nintendo Switch since I can have it with me on the road, using car chargers and solar chargers. Never thought I'd be able to actively game again, but it's... well, a game changer. I never was much of a handheld fan. I ended up spending seven months last year on a cannabis farm in Oregon, somehow. I don't smoke, but now I know how to grow it. My 11-year-old self would not have been prepared for that one, haha. This forum was a cool transition for me art-wise as well. I started off on some podunk YaBB Pokemon forum doing very simplistic sigs. Found this place and really started to push myself with graphics. I think it really helped me to build a strong foundation with GIMP that carries on to this day still in my artwork. I became a furry at some point, but I guess that was predictable with a username like KittyCat72, lmao.

What about you?
