MLP:FiM has always had nice morals to their stories. Most of them have been about having "love and tolerance" towards friends. I've always thought I was a really good friend, so I had little need for these morals.

Though recently I've fallen on harder times. Being a "good friend" has been becoming more of a complex problem for me. I speak of specifically my relationship with my best friend. She's the type of friend that I'd do anything for.

Unfortunately, being this helpful and supportive best friend has been becoming harder and harder for me. I've been in love with her for years, but she's been seeing someone else. I've decided that I'm fine with this because it makes her happy, but these feelings of jealousy having been growing within me.

Lately, I've lost control! Just yesterday I nearly verbally attacked her out of jealousy. I don't even remember what set me off, but something she said just got to me. I've been letting my emotions get the best of me.

This morning I've been a guilty, depressed, wreck of a man. I've been trying my hardest to apologize to her, but so far have had no response. All day I've felt horrible for what I've done... what I've become.

And then I downloaded the newest episode...

"I like better it my way, but I guess when you're friends you can't have things exactly your way all the time."

When I heard that quote it hit me, it hit me like a ton of bricks! The moral Discord learned was that if you want to keep your friends, you must learn to compromise with what makes them happy.

I see it kinda fitting that Discord of all things is what gave me this reminder. After all this jealous has been a bit of a chaos of emotions. I've felt like I nearly lost a friend after me acting like a selfish, jealous fool. I certainly hope she forgives me. I'm sure she will though.

Well I guess I'll see tomorrow. Tomorrow is her 18th birthday and she's having a party! Looks like I've learned my lesson just in time, so she can have a wonderful birthday party.

Funny things happen when you mix the magic of both friendship and love. Most times I see there's a violent reaction and the two don't seem to mix, but maybe, just maybe I can get everything to work out alright in the end!
