Hello!

Blogs - They're something new to me. I had never writen a blog before, but I tend on writing a few just for the fun, and perhaps, for the people who might be interesting in hearing my stories about my life. Don't expect these blogs to have long walls of texts or to evolve into a daily routine.

So, without waiting any longer...

If there's something that everyone should mention at least once in their blog, it would be their experiences on the Forums...

I started out fresh, new to both the community, and the show itself. To be honest, I liked the actual Ponies even before I knew anything about the TV show. I used to think they were just a cute little meme, or some popular internet "thing". I would have never thought that the ponies I liked were the "MLP ponies" - as in, what the G1-G3.5 ponies were...

I remained clueless about the show for about 3 months, which can seem, a little emberassing or impossible to some...

Eventually, I found out about the show, and the many communities that were active within the fandom. Now, why did I choose MLP Forums, to be my very first Forum? I didn't... It was pure coincidence, as it was the first community board that popped infront of my eyes after I typed a few magical words on "Google".

I have had many experiences on these Forums, and I guess, we have reached the main topic of what I am interesting on talking about here - My experiences on MLP forums. Some of them have been sad, and some of them have been happy, some were inspiring, and some were depressing...

Obviously, they were all interesting, and have proved to have been great lessons in my life. I learned to trust more in myself, I learned to trust more in others... I learned to be more of a friend, and I learned to be more social aswell... Though, I never really learned how to make friends well... I was always afraid to PM someone, I was always afraid to chat with someone I didn't know, especially, if they were more popular on the forums. I was litteraly afraid that they would see me as "Low", "Stupid", "Childish"... I really wanted to get in touch with these people, but I didn't succeed in reaching this goal with everybody...

Over the course of my time on these Forums, I had not only experienced the joy of making new friends, but I had the depressing experience of lossing them aswell... Some people just weren't interested in me at all. I literally felt, non-existant to these people, which is something I wished I could have changed. The sad thing is, I still feel the same way today... Yes, I have been posting a lot less than usual, but this made me ask the question: Do I belong here anymore?

This is a question, I have been thinking over for a while... I also remmembered the many people who left aswell, but I understood, that many people became even more skeptical about them after that, which is something I didn't want... I knew, that leaving these forums, would mean me wasting quite a bit of time that I put into my staying... To some people, I might seem a little silly, childish, and to some, I might seem a little too serious... Either way, I understood, that every person is unique in his own way, and that he shouldn't change just to become someone's follower/pet...

I guess, that is all I have for today...

I'll be trying to be more active a little more on these Forums, but to conclude: I thank the very little friends I have, who helped me turn from the thought of saying my final Goodbye!
