Hi Y'all!
I live in Singapore and am currently under pre-university education. I was once a brony from 2013 to 2015 but in those days it was hard to keep my interest in the community due to the amassing amounts of homework I had. However, recently I managed to muster the little time I had to binge watch the whole of Season 6, and I felt an overwhelming rush of nostalgia as I relived those moments a few years back where I was proud of calling myself a brony.
Realistically, the only reason I really wanted to introduce myself here was to finally feel what it is like to be at home. I am rather lonely and antisocial, and have been rather depressed ever since I was 12. I think that is mostly due to the fact that I don't connect well with my family and people don't find me interesting enough to talk to, so I end up bottling my negative feelings and don't really see much positivity in life. And sadly, the only few friends I had weren't as enthusiastic as I was in my interests. This has led me to feel lost in society and I really don't have much faith in humanity anymore.
This is where MLP came to my rescue. The series has shown me how happy people can be through friendly interactions and sometimes I wander off into a deep dream about how happy I would be if I did live in a society like Equestria. I wished I had friends whom I can go on awesome adventures with to do good using actual magic, and sharing every little thing we do whilst fully enjoying the presence of one another. I really hope I can find a good companion here, even if people don't have face-to-face interactions.
I really only find comfort in my dreams because I am self-aware that the world will never change in my favor. And the person whom I got my brony influence from has since left the fandom for anime 2 years ago. I hope he will come back, although we won't meet again.
On a more positive tone, I like Twilight Sparkle, Marble Pie, Vapor Trail and Angel Wings as well!
