My (Extremely Belated) Half a Year Bronyversary Entry

I remember it like it was just yesterday; July 5th of 2013; the night I watched the Season 2 premiers and finale with my best friend. At the time, I didn't think much of the fandom. I didn't bug them, troll them, or anything like that. I found a bit weird that people my age would be watching a show based on a little girl's toyline, but I didn't mind. I just let the fandom do their thing as long as they weren't complete jerks to me.

 

Though, on that warm Summer night, my friend finally convinced me to take a look at the show itself. I honestly liked what I saw. The next day, I dug deeper into the show and took the time to watch the entire first season. After that, it all just kind of escalated. A little birdy introduced me to the forums and I got even more involved in the community. And, no matter what anybody said, becoming a brony has been one of the craziest rides of my life.

 

Would I call myself a die-hard fan of the series? No. I'll be honest, I don't watch the show religiously. I watched all of the episodes at least once, but I don't recall revisiting many episodes. The main reason I'm a brony in the first place is because of the community.

 

I've honestly never found a fanbase with more kind, generous, or talented souls than the brony community, and I'd be stunned to find one. This fanbase has literally cured me of my depression. I never felt more accepted and loved in a community such as this. It honestly makes me regret not becoming a brony sooner.

 

For that, I thank you. I thank each and every single one of you. It's been a hell of a ride, and I'm glad you guys were able to help me through it. I've made many friends that I may not ever see, and they've helped me through my problems and helped me see a brighter side of life in general. I honestly can't thank or repay you all enough for it, and I look forward to getting to know you all even more.

 

Thank you all, and I'll see you around the forums :)

Glad to hear this community has helped! I'm much the same as you. I don't watch religiously either but the community has given the show lots of longevity for me. :P

This show didn't cure my non-existent dog's cancer, but nonetheless I enjoy being a pegasister and making a place in MLPF. I like being friends with you, Steven, and everyone else I met here, too. :P I don't celebrate broniversaries, 'cause I believe every day of being a brony should be celebrated if you're happy 'bout it.

We've all found a place in this fandom :) It's just so welcoming and amazing :lol: I've never truly contributed anything to a fandom or community, and it feels great when I make stuff for this creative and epic fandom :D This is simply an experience unlike anything I've ever done :) Happy late half year bronyversary!! :lol:
