So...chocolate?
More to the story than just sweets
For me, making these bars and paws is not about selling and making money off of chocolate. My whole life I've struggled with things like my mental health, drug addiction, and where I fit in this world. I'm bipolar, on the spectrum ADHD, am a recovering addict, identify non-binary, am gay married...and are a furry. For me, making these bars not only gives me a productive reason to stay occupied, out of trouble and off drugs, but it gives me a reason to feel pride. It gives me a reason to feel accomplished and like I'm contributing something productive to the community and the furry fandom. I found my place in the world and my people in the fandom, and I just want to contribute however I can to give back to the community that's given me everything.
The Motivation behind the bar
This all began as a distraction for me to stay clean, to beat the cravings of addiction and keep myself busy so I would stay out of trouble. Having the love and support of those closest to me gives me a reason to stay sober, and staying busy making chocolate gave me a reason to improve my craft. Touching the drugs again will only lead me to divorce and the shattering of my home, safety net and foundation I've worked so hard to build, and all of that can be avoided if I can just be strong. My strength, however, comes from the impact i can make with my skills, and in order to build that trait for myself, it's imperative that I continue to strive to improve in every which way possible.
Truly Special
These chocolates aren't just treats. They are a conglomeration of all of my love for food, people, the world. And while the chocolate itself is simple, I make it, fill it, and wrap it by hand so you can experience something truly special. You can be sure that along with boasting the use of real, whole ingredients mixed with a fat helping of love, each bar is a a work of art meant to be appreciated by your maw.
For You
Chocolate releases oxytocin and endorphins, two very important peptides responsible for happiness and an elevated mood in each and every one of us. Enjoying some chocolate regularly is shown to have a positive impact on those who struggle with their mental health. And while it wont solve the problems of the world, or unite each and every citizen of the USA, it will help you not feel so negatively towards this insane world we find ourselves living in.
For the Furries
I had no idea where I belonged or fit in before I found the fandom. Don't get me wrong, it's not like i didn't know what furries were, I just didn't know my place was with them. I work so hard on this chocolate because this product is a reflection who I have become with the help of the good furs I look up to in the community. I work hard on these delicious treats because I think you deserve something a little special, made just for you.
For my husband
My husband told me that if he ever catches me with drugs again, that's the end of our marriage. I love my husband more than anything in the world and I won't risk losing him being my own worst enemy. That being said, poor mental health will drive you to do a lot of crazy things you absolutely don't mean to do, which is why I am doing this with the chocolate because if my brain is occupied, it has less chance of wandering into those dark scary recesses that will make you undo so much time and effort put into yourself to be stronger and better. I love my husband, and so i do this so I can keep the best wolf that's ever happened to me.
