What are you're goals or passions?
I enjoy the arts both martial and material. A well painted forest or a clean kick with form and grace, it a amazes me what we are capable of. Music to me is a form of communication as well as art of the highest order when done right, even porn can inspire and be artistic.
What moves or inspires you to do what you do?
There is a long list of things and i do not even know what to begin with. We all are going to die, the universe will die, anything anyone does will disappear. Life is just a game, have fun.
Not starving to death.
Gaming and e621
Art and something to bring food and art materials to the table.
My instincts tell me to keep myself alive, and life is a funny game.
I love travelling and I want to visit all major destinations in the next few years. Travelling inspires me so much
I'm a stick shift stuck in neutral. I'm no Christine, but I'm hardly a Love Bug, either.
Creating worlds, characters, giving characters life~
And also seeing positive progress in living beings :3.
To save wolves from extinction at the hands of a short-sighted, ever-expanding and encroaching species that leaves destruction in it's wake and reproduces unfettered. I want to open a sanctuary for wolves and keep humans far away by any means necessary so they have a safe place in this world.
Caffeine.
What drives me? A tiny mustelid frantically twisting dials and pulling levers in my head.
Nothing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Brightening up other peoples’ day with my content and mannerisms
leaving unfunny comments and unnecessarily large bumbums
Probably to become a good artist and get rid of BD, then deal with the human race as a whole. In the end, everything will die. We're nothing but pawns to oblivion and existence itself.
Just fooling around, I'll only do 2 of those. But what inspires me the most, is to see the work of other experts.

I really like hiking and other outdoor activities. Hope this summer I will go hiking with friends. I've already found reviews here https://thebestwalkietalkies.com/ about best walkie-talkies. Useful tool to stay connect with friends during our trips.
Updated
Putting a great deal of effort into doing as little work as possible.
Anthropomorphic animals, the yiff of them, gaming, family, money, and my brain. I couldn't do much without my brain. Yeah, that's about it.
Trying to find ways to make people laugh. The hope that I will live long enough to see the Singularity. Videogames and books are also nice.
1 friend, gaming and furry porn, I guess ?
I just want to start travelling again
I don't know really. I guess to see what's around the corner. There's a lot of crazy shit to laugh at and it keeps coming

I'm a huge fan of massage, it drives me a lot. Plus for me it's the best way to relax and get rid of stress. Once I tried erotic massage in adele parlour in Kiev and since that time I can't imagine my life without this type of massage. Their massauses are so hot and sensual.
I don't know if this is a well disguised ad or not, but I've always imagined an erotic massage being like the awkward small talk experience at a barber, except they're jerking you off instead of cutting your hair.
webcam hot girls drive me the most

i'd imagine that someone would be to busy focusing on the massage than small talk
Some cruel external force since I don't feel that I have any significant degree of control over my life.
Oh, also occasional sessions of watching questionable porn of course.
Being "Driven" is for existential fools who still believe their pathetic, insignificant life has meaning and thinks there is value in this brainless, lunatic ape species and the irrelevant pebble it can't even break orbit from.

don't cut yourself on that edge
hmm, what drives me?
well, a few years ago i guess you could say music did. i love music, i play piano and violin. i love it so much i powered through a terrible degree and created student debt in a job field that (usually) doesn't pay bills for over 10 years unless yoy get really lucky or become a school teacher, which is my plan.
but ask me now, and i honestly don't know. i have some very good friends and am close witb my family, i play way too many video games and indulge in a lot of yiff. but that's not much to drive me, i've certainly been depressed for a long time. plus, 2020 has been an absolute shitshow with COVID-19 and the sudden death of my mother from cancer. i occasionally think about ending it all, but something holds it back. i'm not too sure exactly what all of it is, but i do know something that keeps me going is my friends and my family. doing all of this work on my mental health, seeing a counsellor and taking a break from my teaching degree honestly has helped me a lot. i want to achieve in my life, but i lack the will to get there, at least, right now. i dunno, sorry about the long personal rant but i kinda wanted to vent out here and if anyone else is feeling like me right now, know that we're in this together. let's do our best to overcome the negative thoughts our minds tell us and aim for the stars. we can make it when we really try.
I will be a member of the kemono community ( I'm Japanese so providing content to Japan ), but
I wanna make a furry game ( It will be freegame/no_charge ). The genre is the furry/kemono heroes ( that are popular in Japan these days ) .
The beginning of the story is also a common Japanese example: .... Reincarnation.
The protagonist sets out on an adventure to find the world he lives in while meeting his friends.
And I myself am also looking for a "reason_to_live".... because I don't want the game_over , I'm gonna live to the fullest until I die!

I think I've heard this one before. Isekai protagonist starts looking for the way back to Earth/Japan, finds furry/anthro/kemono waifus, forgets all about Earth/Japan.

( s..super?😳 This is the first time I've ever gotten a reply from janitor..! I'm very happy )
Recently, with the spread of kemono/furry culture in Japan, there has been an increase in that kind of work in anime and manga as well.
It's a good time to be in Japan. I can't wait to be a part of making the kemono/furry community thrive!

Us janitors and admins are just normal people like you! Well, maybe not normal, but you get the idea.
With respect to Japan, my only hope is that we see a trend towards more "full furry" kemonos like post #2450713, post #2450036, post #2440653, post #2432064, post #2412269, instead of "animal ears + tail only" kemonomimis like post #339873, post #2358275, post #1168403.
That does seem to be appearing more often, e.g. Beastars, Brand New Animal, Interspecies Reviewers, Tokyo Afterschool Summoners, Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou, etc.
lance_armstrong said:Us janitors and admins are just normal people like you!
Oh , I didn't know. but I'm glad I was able to talk With someone else.😄
In recent years, there seems to be a growing awareness in Japan that there is a distinction : between the Former "full_furry" and the Latter "one with animal ears". Maybe that's why There are so many works that are neatly distinguished in commercial distribution. And people have come to understand the importance of segregation.
please Tell the admins and janitors folks that I was saying thank you for creating the world of e621. Hope to see you again sometime soon! (^_^)ゞ

Personally I'd like to see things take a couple of steps further into semi-anthro styles; (there's a bunch of semi-anthro characters scattered around Japanese media but they're usually lone supporting roles in a mostly-humanoid cast,) but it is quite refreshing to see a full-anthro-cast series like Beastars blow up like it did outside furry/kemono circles. I always notice a lot of Japanese Zootopia fan-artists here, and I've been wondering if that had something to do with anthro series getting more popular.
Does Zootopia still get marketing in Japan? Here in Australia every Disney promotion since the movie has been completely devoid of any Zootopia references, and I haven't seen any merchandise since the Disney Infinity and Funko Pop figures.
Is Brand New Animal worth looking at? It bugs me when a series has a separate anthropomorphism level for each sex, so something else has to be pretty good to get my interest.
I'm still scared to look at Ishuzoku Reviewers because if I find out elza_(ishuzoku_reviewers)'s genitalia is just a male-functional penis instead of a pseudo-penis I'm going to get angry. Nothing against gynomorphs, I just have strong opinions on spotted_hyena girls.
To answer the thread topic, I'm still struggling with drive but what gets me started are weird fantasy stories and architecture. (I want to recommend the Hakumei and Mikochi (ハクメイとミコチ) manga series to anyone interested in semi-anthros and weird buildings.)
Also complaining about everything.

You should give Ishuzoku Reviewers a shot. The available manga chapters should be a quick read if you don't want to watch the anime. Elza is in chapter 7. I don't see any implication that she has testicles, but I'm certain she used her pseudo-penis for penetration. She's described as a lesbian in this article.

Gave it a look, finding it more readable than I expected, probably because there's no actual porn. I think I'm glad they didn't go into too much detail on Elza; this way I can keep judging fan-art by which direction the artist takes it.
been some time since i checked in, good to know I am not the only one to enjoy things that others find off putting. also there seems to be those who have true ambitions or goals of self improvement. to those who wish to teach, I find that heart warming. for those who struggle with trying times know we are not alone. Family and friends are there to carry us when we lack the strength or will to continue on by ourselves and if you lack friends or family just know you are capable of more than you know and the worth of your life is not measured by you alone. one can never know how their life will impact others.... if this is long winded sorry I just wanted to shout some positivity into the void
Live long enough to hopefully witness the technological singularity so my Furry fantasies can actually become real

Correct answers.
Knowing that tomorrow is always a new day.
Currently have no goals and passions at all as I posted this, though I'm still doing something.
I absolutely have no idea on what keeps me moving forward, since I'm just doing things aimlessly. But maybe, just maybe....
if the question was reversed it would be an '04 Acura Integra Type-S ;) but it also is true for the original question as well

I'm sure this has been a terrible year for you, please accept my condolences. It is always very difficult to lose loved ones and unfortunately many people in 2020 lost people close to them, unfortunately it touched my family too, I lost my family because of Covid-19 and it was just a shock for me, judging by the death statistics in USA from covid-19 https://wikimeters.com/deaths, then deaths are growing more and more and this is frightening, especially when you see a large crowd of people who are without masks and they absolutely do not care, but do not care until it touches them and their family.
Metabolism, but mostly not wanting to die.
Revenge and defiance.
The best revenge is a life well lived.
In a cold, cruel world showing warmth and compassion is the greatest act of defiance.

Ah, such a good example of an oxymoronic statement. You cannot have compassion for ones that you wish to see harm to. Compassion maybe an act of defiance but it's the complete opposite of the petty, spiteful, hatred filled act that is revenge.
Please, stop pretending you are a compassionate, kind individual full of love whilst beholding onto bigoted acts such as vindictiveness. You are impelling a undesired reputation onto people who are actually compassionate whilst pretending to be warmhearted to look exclusively benevolent above others.
Revolution.
It seems that I missed a few posts.

My "fAmIlY aNd FrIeNdS" all have showered me with passionate and affectionately intense amounts of indifference, spite and pure hatred. I would have scattered my remains over Interstate I-95 via sprinting into a moving 18-wheeler's radiator if I believed in either of those abracadabra statements. Thanks, I'm cured.

Howdy everyone, Happy New Year! 🦊こやーん ...What? --- "What drives you" ? --- I got it! I - drive - my - car!! (SHUT UP
These days, I'm having more and more conversations with furries(Japanese And Abroad), on e6, and on Twitter.
In a certain thread I once said something like, "Japanese don't understand people_from_abroad or/and e6! (# ﾟДﾟ)grrrrrr!!💢 "
...However according to Twitter, passionate artists are rather happy to have their pictures posted on e6.
●Artists I've introduced to e6, and artists I know, have said like this:
- More users can find us than if we posted on Twitter or Pixiv, which motivates us to draw!
- Being able to meet and mingle with international users helps me with translation and word_of_mouth, and so on!
When they told me that, I was sure Now I do Not need to fear anything about running as a Japanese member And Interested-volunteer here.
So I have a few goals for this year.
- First, I need to learn English. To be able to converse without DeepL translator. - Second, to create a furry/kemono game.
And now I am also an artist. --- (( Well, Still I'm a newbie as well as a furry (ケモナー) , I've only went to a few social events, and my drawing level is only 1. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ha ha )) --- Fine, I'll practice from now on. Seems the iPad is easier for me to draw lol.
It's been a long time since I've had fun every day. So I'm happy to be reincarnated as a furry.
Yes, now I can say with pride : e621 and Furry-fandom drives me.
Moving forward as furry with e6 is my reason_to_live ... maybe. I believe I have the determination to live.
...Ok c'mon, it's time to get my delayed activities back on track. Time flies quickly, I know. Everyone, Best wishes!!

This is one of the most insanely immature takes I've ever seen on existence, life, and how to spend one's life. Are you actually somehow annoyed at people finding drive, meaning, and purpose, in spite of the fact that the Earth, and the lifeforms within it, are relatively miniscule in comparison to the scope of the universe? Who gives a damn? You've been given life, self-awareness, sapience, intelligence, and the ability to make decisions and find happiness with this body of yours, and you'd rather wallow in pity over the fact that you're a little bit tiny than do anything remotely meaningful with your life?
And on top of that, what, you're angry that other people have found things to do with the one chance at life they'll ever have - things they enjoy, things that drive them, things that personally give them purpose? You're angry that people find that shit? It's better than wallowing in pity over meaningless thoughts like yours. Woe is you. You aren't the most important thing in the universe, or the most important thing in existence. A dog doesn't need to be the center of the universe to find happiness. Why do you? Do something with your life, man. Come on. If you're miserable, find some way to overcome your misery and do something with that precious gift you've been given called life.
I mean, ffs, this is a porn site. A furry porn site. I'm here because I have fun looking at dumb smut every now and then, not because I felt like I needed to lecture somebody. If you're miserable and lonely, I feel really bad for you, I do - but stop trying to drag other people down with you. If drawing silly koalas is enough to bring me happiness, you can find something too. Jesus.

So why don't you comment here about "what drives you" instead?
You also have a precious gift you've been given called life, I believe.
this is going to sound cheesy, but i kind of found a new way thing that drives me. i recently started voice chatting in some discord servers and i can't believe how great it felt just talking to people. they've helped me through some tough times and i want to help people out way more too. friendship and trying to improve others is helping me drive forward.
The idea that some day in the future, I will find love and do exciting things.
Brightening someone's day. Cause sometimes the world seems so hard and unfair, but if I make someone smile or laugh, it feels like I've done my job. Like I've made it just a bit better.
My goals this month are to get back into digital drawing after a 4-5 year hiatus. From there, maybe pick up 3D sculpting via Blender or ZBrush?
I bought myself a Nissan, I really like this car, but since there are some problems with the gearbox, I cannot fully enjoy the ride. I am thinking about how to solve this problem on my own.

What? Is a good question....
To be honest, probably pure spite for the human race.
I want them all to feel terrible. So I do lots of good things, and attempt to embody the ideal of "a good person".
But actually my sinister, self serving, hypocritical goal is to make everyone suffer when they realize they aren't good persons after seeing what a good person is.
Misanthropy and coffee
