Schutzgeist

I'm rather open about my addiction to the fandom, but that's mostly because the group of friends I hang out with are Bronies/Pegasisters as well. I don't really mind the opinions of others when it comes to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but when trolls start to attack, I get a bit upset and don't want to share my personal opinion with anyone outside of my group. That normally doesn't last too long because I'm always able to turn to my fellow Bronies/Pegasisters for confidence. That's one of the best parts of my group of friends both on the Internet and in real life. By the end of the day, I'm still proud to be a Pegasister and it's because of the confidence they've given me. I don't think that anyone should be ashamed of liking something that others do not. Hasbro may have assumed that only little girls would watch the show, but that certainly does not mean that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is reserved for a specific audience. Never be ashamed of who you are!

Some movements are so powerful that they remain and prosper; not all good things must come to an end. I'm positive that there will be a time when the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom will shrink, but it will never completely die. Even if it slowly fades from the lives of others, I'll be one of those Pegasisters standing proud before an Equestria flag. Becoming a Pegasister has touched my life in a variety of different ways. I've been blessed with the opportunity to connect with thousands of others with the same interests through the Internet and I've also made a great group of friends outside of the Internet. I can't tell you how reserved and afraid I was to even open my mouth and speak before I joined the herd. I was constantly fearful of what might happen if I voiced my opinion, but now I'm not. There's no need to repeat what has already been stated if I feel the same exact way so I'll leave this quote from the first page here for you to read if you choose to. What you said seems a bit silly to me. I believe that humans tend to waste too much time being a worrywart over what might happen rather than using that time wisely and enjoying what's there before it must vanish. A foolish mistake, in my opinion. Wouldn't you rather be grateful for the experiences you've encountered and the memories you've made than being upset afterwards because you used up all of that time being a worrywart? It's like the meaning of life; live it to its fullest. I would definitely want to make the best of things before the end.
