Hello, everypony. My name is Brendan. I'm a 19 year old college student from Oklahoma who is just trying to get through life one day at a time. I have a girlfriend of two and a half years, two younger brothers, one in the first grade and one who is a year younger than I, a step-brother, in his 20s, and a "little sister," 13. I put this in quotations as she is not really my sister; we're not even related by blood. But, she's like the little sister I never had, and she's my best friend.

A little bit about myself: I've had mild depression for about five years now, left untreated, I'm currently going to college for psychology, so I can become a mental health counselor and help people, since I never had help myself. I don't want people to have to go through the same things I did. If I could change just one life, I would say I had done my job.

My life has been a mix of ups and downs, the same as almost every human being on this planet. When I was 8 or 9, I walked in on my dead grandfather. Throughout the years, I have dealt with the loss of my friend, my great- and step-uncles, my grandfather, as stated, and, most recently, my father.

I have really bad social anxiety; I can hardly ever bring myself to talk face-to-face with someone, which is why almost all of my friends are online.

Now, this blog will just be me updating about how my life is going; college, life, etc. I hope that, through this, I can share some of myself with the wonderful users of this website, maybe even make some new friends.

Until next time.

-Brendan
