I tend to hang out a lot over on the Life Advice forum where, as the name might suggest, people ask for and give life advice. While I try to do as much as I can, and I can honestly say I wouldn't trade the interactions I have for the WORLD - they are some of the most fulfilling I have ever had - at the end of the day there is still so much sadness and depression out there, that it seems like there just must be a better way to tackle it! So I figured, maybe it would be a cool idea to try getting an informal group of like-minded ponies together. ^ ^
I was thinking we could get a group conversation set up, in one big, shared personal message thread (they can fit up to 30 people, right?) and in that group message we could talk about how we are trying to help cheer people up, what has worked, what hasn't worked, how we ourselves are feeling, what we are struggling with, and just talk about what we have done/tried to do to help out the folks who are kind enough to share their feelings over at Life Advice! :3 Sort of like a life advice.... advice forum, you know, giving advice on how to give life advice to others!
I don't know - I just came up with this as a random idea. It might be a total flop! But why not try?!
If you feel like you would be interested, just post below. *nod nod* I wouldn't recommend sending me a personal message, not because I wouldn't like you for it, but because I have a lot of personal message threads that I am currently managing that are all very important to me, and I feel like if by some freak accident this idea was too popular I would get overwhelmed by personal messages! >.<
And yes - if it gets off the ground we shall be called *ahem* The Friendship Brigade!!!! ^o^
