I think the major thing that makes Pinkie happy is knowing that she can cheer other people up and brighten their day. That's why she knows and speaks to everypony in Ponyville. And I think you do a similar thing on the forums as well.

I am glad you shared this, I think we can all learn from this. We all have our inner child in us, but we are constantly trying to pretend to be something we are not. Of course it is fine to act up a little bit, but constantly? No. Thank you for sharing this my friend *Hugs* . 

Wow this is actually quite beautiful :') You stay happy to ooBrony!

Having fun with my life and making others happy is all that I live for.  Whenever I fail in trying to cheer someone up it makes me feel absolutely awful, so I always try my best to make everyone happy

Thank you for sharing ooBrony *Hugs*

I think Pinkie Pie isn't all that childish at her core but has a very balanced and down to earth (lol puns) or practical mentality.

One of her life's goals is to make other ponies smile. This is an easily attainable and highly valued goal she can easily feel accomplished in and be happy about. No need for fame or fortune, just making others happy makes herself happy.

The reason I say she's not all that childish is because she has shown she has a great understanding of her responsibilities to others, both personally and as an element of harmony. The Cheese Sandwich episode and the comics show that she has a good understanding of comedy too. So though she may be silly and funny, it is with a profound understanding of both herself, others and the way she communicates.

As for happiness, whenever I do introspection like this I always ask, "What is it that my happiness depends upon?" because once you find that, it may help you a great deal in overcoming whatever is bogging you down. Sometimes you may even find that your happiness depends on something that should have no bearing on it at all, and you can cut that part out of your life in that regard.

There is some truth to what you said tho: being a kid in a healthy environment is pretty great ^^

Great peace ooBrony! The way I see it, this is what all of humanity should strive for. Nobody likes to be unhappy, right? The universe could use a lot more sentient beings like you and Pinkie Pie, ooBrony /)

..uhm..yes, I think it's right to remain a bit like children inside themselves.. Many people confuse this concept with being immature .. they're making a big mistake to think this. They are two different things.

I like your attitude ooBrony. Being positive is a good trait to have; even when it may seem like there's no hope. If you become the shining light in the darkness, not only will you feel happy, but you can make others happy too. I keep this in mind when I go throughout my day and I'm glad that you have this same mindset. Stay positive my friend and keep smiling!

I'm proud of you bad news I cant be on the forums anymore.the computer im own keeps crashing and it wont hold the data.

This whole idea is one of the reasons I love Pinkie Pie so much.  It's like as you get older, you think you have to act like an "adult" and only think about "adult" things rather than taking everything life gives you.

"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
