So this is my story : I was playing league of legends with my friend when he invited some guy from Russia i didn't know back then to our skype converstaion. We were playing together for a week or so when we crossed a a topic about things we like. He told us that he is watching MLP:FIM and that he is a brony. I was like WTF how can he watch my little pony, my little sister was watching that and we had a dvd at home with a MLP film (G3). After some times we started talking a little more and i decided to give it a chance because there must be a reson why so many people like it. Then i remembered that i watched a parody of FIM before and i liked it so i started watching the original series. After first episode i tought that it's OK but I still don't understand why do so many people like it. After a few more episodes i couldn't stop . I was like : THIS IS AWESOME, oh my god nobody must know of this because they will think I'm gay or wierd. When i watched almost all the episodes i found out more about the fandom, started visiting equestria daily and read the comments of the people. I tought that the bronies are awesome and they will not judge you but they will try to understand you. This is the moment i became a brony. I started doing things i wanted to do but i was afraid because of the society around me, like baking muffins . I realized what is important in life and that if I want to be a software engineer in the future i should start doing something about it so i started Coding on codecademy and I really like it + I started to learn a little bit more. Also i found out that my friends and family don't like the idea of watching a show aimed for little girls. I don't judge them instead I'm trying to understand. I think that i became a better person beacause of the show, maybe I didn't but at least i feel better . Sorry for the long story, I understand if you didn't read it because of that.
