for myself, I spent so much of my life thinking that i was alone when it came to these interest. after finding out that there are so many other people who have the same interest, its away i can be myself when it comes to the zoo interest and not have to worry about people judging me. its a place where I can talk freely about something I was unable to talk about at all for so long. its a place where everyone understands that we all have very similar interest and we will not be judged for it.
