I've only been a member of the forums for a few days, and I've only been a brony for less than a couple months. In that short time, I've notices subtle changes in myself, namely that my creativity has come back to me. The creative arts, specifically writing, have always been very near and dear to my heart, but in the last two years that has changed drastically. I apologize if this seems to devolve into a sob story, as that isn't my intention, in fact I'm quite content with the state of my life; there are just a few things that need to change in order for me to be truly happy.

In the last two years, I managed to penetrate the tech industry, and I've found myself at the forefront of each and every new gadget; I've also found myself living quite happily off of the sales of those gadgets. Ashamedly, I'm really only befitting off the work of bigger better entities, and the nature of the sales I make is generally at great expense, over a long period of time, to the consumer. I'm certainly not proud of myself, or the position I hold, and I've sacrificed a lot in the name of money and comfort; it's as though I"m trying to fill some selfish gap that formed when I was younger and stupid, taking much of what I had for granted. Throughout the events of my petty success, I grew apart from my friends, and gave up entirely on writing, painting, and thinking creatively. I turned into the very thing I spat hate at, as an angsty teenager. I'm a corporate slave, and even with the knowledge that I've reached the highest rung that anyone will let me (that rung being nothing to even brag about), I have yet to turn a course and rekindle my love for life.

Yet in just two days, this forum has changed that. I can already feel myself looking at things from a different perspective. It may just be coincidental, a subtle psychological shift that happened within the last week, and I'm just now noticing it; after all, I've hardly even contributed to the forum yet. Still, I'd like to attribute it to being a part of a community, one like the righteous MLP fanbase, in a safe place where I can let out violent outbursts of joy, or healthy amounts of every other emotion. Just in the past 48 hours, I've reached out to old friends, and I've even broken out my writing journals. I never thought a children's show, about ponies, would be healthy and beneficial to my life. I'm not questioning it, something about all of this is leaving me happy and inspired.

This all could very well be temporary, it could all be gone in a few months, or a few weeks, or tomorrow. Regardless of if or when it ends, I'm making the conscious decision to start this blog. Every night, I'll likely toss out a few posts, and schedule one or two to drop while I'm at work. I want to avoid it being entirely based around my thoughts on myself, but rather it be my thoughts on the world in motion, around me. You could look at it as a writing exercise, or a thoughtful lounge, or just frequent bouts of mental vomit. Either way, I'm going to keep riding these positive vibes, keep watching this righteous show, and keep trying to better myself as a person. I'm welcoming anyone and everyone to join me on that day-to-day journey.
