I became a brony during June of 2012, I was going through a depressing time in my life and it was like a living hell, then one day I was going through YouTube and I found a bunch of My Little Pony videos, I never really thought much about My Little Pony but I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did because over the next couple of months this show managed to help me out of my slump and made me happy again, I've been a brony since then.
