Octavia Heartstrings

Oh boy... it's been quite a while since I've posted one of these. Six months, in fact!

As you all probably know, I was banned in August of last year. Initially, I didn't want to return to these forums after my ban was up, but after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that while I do have many friends from here on Discord, there are also many people I could no longer reach, and I missed them. So after nearly half a year, I have finally returned to the herd.

It must be said that aside from the drama of late August, 2019 was definitely the best year of my life. I had an amazing trip to Montreal in the summer, I got my learner's permit, and it was just a very fun year in general with nice weather and great friends throughout. Plus, even though MLP:FiM is now over (and the last two seasons were downright terrible in my opinion), my love for Lyra Heartstrings remains as strong as ever.

In December I got a new laptop, a HP Pavilion with 16 GB RAM. It's a massive upgrade from my old one, a Toshiba Satellite with only 4 GB RAM. My new laptop is fantastic. It's so fast, the keyboard is so smooth and the HD screen is so crisp. My parents and I also finally got a color duplex printer, to replace the old one we've had since I was born.

So all in all, I'm doing quite well, and I feel like taking a break from these forums helped me to recharge and come back better than ever. I've missed you all, and I'm so glad to see you all again! 

(Also, a big thank you to whoever gave me the mail and cupcakes!)
