I bet if they played MLP or just had the actresses record messages and played them in hospitals and therapists offices.. depression, suicide and rage could be decreased by at the very least 45%. For those of you that have started to get too know me, you already know my life has been full of tragic events, chronic depression and mood swings ( as was illustrated today) I am on medication for my mental problems and not only 30 minutes ago.. I was about too commit suicide.. I know those friends I have made may not want too hear that, but it is true.. I had my knife out and ready too slit myself.. but a voice pulled me out of the fires of despair and sadness.. actually .. it was 6 voices . I have NEVER snapped out of a deep depression like that EVER! But those voices.. the music and artwork, the vibrant colors and the overall " Hopeful Vibes " that it sends out, I felt warmth fill me, I slowly began too cry and as I fell too my knees, dropped the knife and basked in the love I felt, the warmth of Equestria had saved me... that is powerful right there.. I think the show should be shown too all those that suffer from mental illnesses such as depression, bi-polar, chronic depression, and other severe ones. It is my theory that the voices of the actors and actresses hit a certain pitch, tone and performance that might release Dopamine and serotonin in the brain ( the chemicals that cause euphoria and happiness, along with the upbeat soundtrack, which the notes C, G and D are known to release the same chemicals in the brain, they call them " Happy Notes " as minor notes have the opposite effect. So if my theory is correct, enough exposure too this show could in fact cause a reversal in the brain's chemistry, possibly.. with enough time might just cure those like me. Something too think about
The basic " Pony Style" fighting stance (pictured). A stance is the foundation of all defense arts. This style is very easy, it mimics the trots, and rhythmic patterns of the pony ( a back and forth motion ), It is mainly a blocking style with a power approach. Short, strong strikes are used to jab and keep your opponent on his or her toes. As well a use of the legs are important, mainly used to trip and get your opponent on the ground so they have no choice but to retreat.
For four years I used to volunteer at a local orphanage and play Santa, Oh the children would light up whenever I would enter the room. I always cherished every moment of it.. for one day out of the year, I wasn't just a loser with a crappy job lol I was a living myth, bringing joy, love and hope too those unfortunate souls, I told them stories of epic battles and fun times with elves and Rudolph... until it got real, There was a little girl, around 12. She had bright green eyes and a smile that was infectious. She ALWAYS looked forward too my visit every year, she would always sit on my lap when I told the stories and helped handing out presents.. she cared more about the spirit of giving then... crying or dwelling on her lack of parents.. .. anyways, she always would ask me " would Santa be my father again? " with that smile and glimmer of joy in her eyes.. and I would always reply " Of coarse, I would love too" then I would let out a hardy " HO HO HO! ". Then, the last year I did it, as I walked into the orphanage something was wrong... I noticed the mood wasn't like it normally was.. it was.. somber.. I was pulled aside by one of the care givers. Apparently she passed away from an illness two weeks before.. her empty bed, it tore Santa's heart to shreds.. I still did what i could to cheer them up and I succeeded in bringing back some cheer.... however, her empty bed still haunts my dreams. I found out after I packed up my costume, one of the more honest care givers told me the ugliest of truths.. that the company who owned the orphanage didn't even attempt too treat her because " It was a WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!! Til the day I die I will always keep her in my heart, because lord knows the people who ran that place cared WAY more for dirty green paper than a human life.. You will always be Santa's little helper, Jenny..
