It has been AGES
And yet no matter how many times I look back I remember this website so warmly. It's been a different timeline, a different life, a different reality when I kept frequenting this page. And still, it remains buried under an endless avalanche of other "favourite" websites I have amassed over the years. But I have never forgotten. While MLP was but a fleeting ( a couple of years ) part of my life, it was definitely a warm, cherished and happy one. Met so many great people here, some of which I still remain in very very loose contact with. I let go of my creativity and imagination in writing. I enjoyed talking, interacting, laughing alongside everyone. And the running meme of my unflinched, undisputed, endless and absolute dedication to Rarity and her darker, Nightmarish counterpart has always been a center point of my enjoyment of the entire series and community as a whole.
So why am I here? Well. Don't we all enjoy revisiting past, cheerful memories? Plus there are still people here that I KNOW are wonderful, some still remember me even if they don't think about me even once a month And I guess those who care could use a little update. Back when I assisted and participated in the website I have been just a guy living in rented apartments wondering where will my life go, worried about the future. That state is no more. While my working conditions have not improved all that much, I am pleased to announce that life has definitely eventually taken a turn for the better over the years. Got my own small place and met my other half online. Even though she is about 2.7k km away from me, it is not an issue for us anymore as we visit each other frequently. As long as my budget allows, she does not have that issue as she has an amazing career ^^' I reserve the right to withhold more details however as, as I've sadly learnt already in person, they could be considered sensitive and draw unwanted thoughts, ideas or attention.
At the end of the day, to anyone who reads this and remembers even tiny parts of me, I just wish to thank you for being a part of that tiny page in the book called "My Life" and I hope you are doing good, and wish you all the best in your future endeavours. We're all so many years older already after all, but I hope memory of this place and its people will stay with me until the end <3
