I find it hard to really express or engage with people sometimes, though it depends on context. I usually will purposefully look out for people who interest me, otherwise I am content with those I have in my inner circle. The events of 2022 have taught me to keep that inner circle quite limited, but it is never entirely closed to new people. 

Usually with people, I keep myself to people who will reciprocate what I am seeking with. I've interacted with hundreds of people over the years. I've cycled through dozens of people, through many groups, servers, and forums, yet this is the only one that has ever outlasted anything else.

It's the only one that's left. And you know what? I'm perfectly fine with that.

@Magical Mare

I always knew you were an Extrovert at heart. There were times where you wanted to turn inward, but I knew that wasn't in your nature to do so. Embrace your nature, and the world's judgement will never matter.

I joined! Had no idea you had a fimfiction account. My name there is Moonlight Sparkle.

@Princess Silky

We very well could think of ideas, yeah!

I should have done something like this with my fimfic reading in the past. I've watched the movies many years ago, I hope you enjoy!

@Sir Hugsalot

While I know not much about you, from our previous interactions of my memory - you are kind and thoughtful. Maybe I didn't make the best of effort to get to know you in the past, but we can always resume again if you'd like. I wish you well. 

@Blitz Boom

Somehow I missed your reply here - I am sorry for missing your reply. I didn't get a notification.

This is entirely my own version of things, think of it like my own universe if you will. If I were to use this in a setting, the vast majority of it would be history of the setting. Perhaps an RP in this universe would involve various elements of what you see here, but it wouldn't be what I show here involved all at once.

Tik Tok to me is just incredibly stupid and cringy. I will never use it. I remember when Vine was a thing, but I never participated in it.

@Lady Kiriness

I didn't think I'd see you back here. How are you?

I don't know that fic, but is that pic from it? If so, it is greatness!

That is the picture of the Noble Jury cast, the crewmembers onboard the ship of the same name.

@Sir Hugoholic

I don’t know you nor have I met you but I have made similar mistakes. Time heals most things in life, everyone makes mistakes along the way. It’s nothing to look down on yourself for.

It is very interesting, as you go through life. At one stage you think "I'm perfect, and I've purged all the bad actors in my life!" and then it ends up not being so, and you have to go through the same old cycle again. That is how this year has been for me. One of removing all the weeds, sometimes really big ones. But it has to be done. With many things, there is no other option. No matter what you do, something would have inevitably happened to end up the same way. It's like I was locked in to making certain decisions. 

My circle of friends has changed a lot over the years. Gone are the old Guard from high school, gone are the first groups I was apart of. Only very few (less than 3) have lasted longer than a few years. This is one of the reasons why I've largely just stayed within my own circles and not gone much beyond, since I've been lied to and betrayed more times than one can count. I feel almost numb to it by this point, and I've had to throw out someone I've known for 3 years a few months ago because of his super aggression towards me and there was no fixing it since he kept going at me for things I didn't do and things I didn't say.

With friendships to me, what I have noticed it is much like how you have a crab with it's shell. The crab's the same crab, but it changes it's shell as it grows older! Very few things remain in life, but those that remain? Are the strongest bonds of all. 

The thing that is most important for me to realize is to not have an emotional element when reacting to such circumstances. For me, it's best to feel emotionally detached. Getting emotionally invested with things all the time is like diving into a bush full of thorns, it's best to gaze at it from a distance before reaching in. To be neutral, to be between being logical and being emotional, the world is one of extremes, who is to say we have to be the same?

I enjoy wearing many faces when it suits me. The ones I truly trust see em' all, while others on the surface see only the mask I choose to project. 

One thing I've also learned is that perception and events come in many colors, some colors only you can see. Nobody else can see em', but you can, within your mind's eye.  Many people lie in this world, but many people also tell the truth. Just have to go through the weeds to get to the garden.

There are many people like you out there.

Id say find a job where you LIKE to work at at the very least and move up the ladder. Somewhere with good pay too… there’s plenty of those jobs around. Just need to know where to look.

Dont invest in something you have no vision.

Yes, that is exactly my point. Our society has normalized debt much to our detriment. It's a cycle of chains and slavery that I don't want to find myself in. 

I won't be doing college because of going into debt. My family can't afford that, and I have not had any work experience or been anywhere on my own before to be entirely honest - I have absolutely nothing, and I need to work on getting a work ethic and understanding how to act independent before I can even think about long term goals. I don't know what I want to do with my life and I should have thought about it sooner, but I need to start small rather than get all worked up over college.

Not to mention due to the circumstances in my country aside, going to college is entirely undesirable for me. I'll have to think about another path.

A 5 minute youtube series isn't exactly going to have the highest quality but for what it is I find it quite enjoyable. Just sit back, have fun, and enjoy.

 I could not agree more. 

Of course, I'm tempted to play devil's advocate for a second and say that there also exists mindless worship of doctors and scientists accompanied by ignorance of all the corruption that goes on in the fields of science and medicine...but only for a second.  More importantly, yeah, never cared about celebrity culture. I really feel that they're just milking this drama to get people talking about the Oscars again and I don't care. I, and most other people, have more real problems than ever in recent history to worry about right now. 

Couldn't have said it any better myself. 

I can certainly say I am not at all fond of celebrities. The entire culture itself is defined by toxicity. But, we are all at fault for letting it become that way. 

Be lucky you have pony dreams. You know how deep my dreams get - and I have not had a single pony dream in at least a year. 

@CloudMistDragon

I am definitely glad that you were prepared and I am right there with you in agreement on 2021 and the future out look. I stand beside you in what capacity that I am able to for 2022 and beyond. In these times we need loyal and dependable people. I hope I can be one of them.

@Sunny Man and Izzy Man

I can tell we share similar thoughts on some of the things in this list.

I hope they explore more of what Argyle was like in the show.

@The Recherche

Indeed. I hope we can talk on Discord again soon.

@The Recherche

I understand how you felt, while I am not one who enjoys information being withheld I can understand why you would. I am glad that things have changed for the better. For me personally it definitely has changed for the better. I am out of high school a few months now and I feel so much happier with the various personal choices I made. I don't regret returning to these forums a year ago and I definitely made a mistake in leaving for as long as I did. I also definitely feel as if I've developed a lot more in the past year, I don't believe a lot of the things I once did back then when we talked. 

It is amazing to see you again, it really is. You were one of my best friends, it absolutely sucked when you just left in the manner you did. I always knew you would return. 

You should continue to seek new experiences and new beginnings.
