Finally I can respond to this the way I wish to...
Astral, You melted my heart, thank You so much for putting me among these fine, honorable and wholesome ponies It's a pleasure to share my life with You and spend time with You. You're an absolute gentleman of a pony with great sense of humor, overall, to make it short - You're amazing. And You remained with me even when I became distant to entire world due to my own emotional struggles. I'll never forget that.
Now my turn...
I came to this website in state of despair, being part of the fandom for 2 years yet having nowhere to express this part of myself. That has put me in a very vulnerable position here, because when You're THAT thirsty, so to say, You are willing to drink even spoiled water. But I've met here people, who showed me kindness and put up with me being a very socially awkward being. Instead of being exploited in my vulnerability - I was cherished and encouraged to be the better version of myself. I owe all of You a lot and sincerely love You all. For being part of this community and allowing people, who today share my struggles back from 2013 to have their safe space, where they can feel like they're appreciated for who they are. My first thank You is to everyone gathered here. You, people are absolutely the best on the Internet by my book.
Now, with that said allow me to proceed to personal "thank yous" of today.
First of all, I am thankful to @Magical Mare. I wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for her. At one point I was in a state of steady decline abandoning a lot of things I loved, this forum and this community included unfortunately. But even when I was at my absolute worst she never gave up on me. Heck, her stubborness on that matter easily outmatched my own, if not for that then I dread to even imagine what would become of me today. Silky. By my book You truly embody elements of harmony, because during 8 years of our history together You've done things that amazed me. I love You, what You did for me no words can fully express. You truly carried my flame when I was doing such a bad job at doing it myself... *hugs tightly*
@Astral Soul - You I mentioned already, but You need to get Your hug, so *hugs* <3
@Dynamo Pad - You're a true quality friend, interacting with You is nothing but pleasure, there are few people in the world that can truly match You when it comes to being fun. I am so happy Silky introduced us to each other and will never forget how our ridiculous "aim for the butt" started *hugs* <3

@Jeric - You said something to me yesterday that completely shook me to my core. You know what I am talking about You've been always such a dear friend to me and I am happy to be able to talk to You again. Playful, kind. It is such a relief that You're still around *hugs* <3
