Looking back a couple years ago...actually...from the point where I discovered MLP by my best friend, I feel like it took me FOREVER to become the brony/pegasister I am now. I took a few breaks from the fandom, I was dragged into the fandom a few times, and this time, I just find myself coming back to it, because it's the reason why I changed. Before ponies I was a pessimist, I viewed the world in a different way. I was a shy person and I always isolated myself from people.

I lost three friends today because they found out that I've gone deeper into the fandom. One of them said, "go find a new addiction, then we'll talk." That...literally punched me in the heart, because I felt close to that person. It just felt horrible. Right now, I just don't care. I love MLP, and if people don't like it, that's okay. I'll show them the exit, down the hall to your left.

Although I may have lost a few friends, that doesn't really mean I'm giving up this incredible fandom. My true friends were solidified by the magic that is MLP. Without it, I wouldn't be friends with my best friend, or have met the incredible people I've been talking to lately on these forums and on twitter. In fact, I wouldn't even be here. For those of you reading and have interacted with you lately, thanks for being amazing.

I love you all. Keep being awesome, okay :3
