My profile picture says a lot about me. But firstly, I’d like to thank a cute fennec fox who goes by the name of MangoPaws for drawing Ianthe in her “zone” as it were. She’s managed to capture the essence beautifully. As you’ve probably guessed, drawing is NOT my strong point. I once tried drawing my own profile picture for a furry fandom website once, but unfortunately, it ended up looking a bit like a man in drag. Off to the shredder it went and back to the laptop I went to continue my writing.

Ianthe is the side of me, I rarely let out or show to others. Yes she does have some of my traits (i.e. the annoying, bouncy, fun and hyperactive) but she also harbours the darker side of me, the side that no one who’s seen me face to face has come across (i.e. the serious, sometimes melancholic). Don’t get me wrong, I love Ianthe to bits. She’s just me but not me. If that makes any sense…which it doesn’t…but oh well. If I ever met my furry friends in real life, they wouldn’t recognise me. I’m really shy and am quite content to sit in silence, no matter how awkward it is for hours on end. I feel that the time has passed to say something so I may as well stay silent. It’s amazing that the cat that never shuts up on the internet can be so…reserved as it were in the real life. I find it hard to communicate with new people. I always keep my gaurd up until I can trust them enough to let them in. I’m not like most who “wear their heart on their sleeves”.

Anyway, less of the reflecting, more on the…I can’t actually think of anything that rhymes with reflecting over than reflexing and correcting :/ So this is me, 100%. Nothing more, nothing less, but a lot inbetween. As I sign off here, I ask you: Is your glass half empty or half full?
