Starlight Serenade

Thank you to everyone for the kind words, patience, and most importantly understanding. It always means so much to see your heartfelt and supportive messages. They help me feel a lot less alone in the world whenever I go through these intense periods in my life. Life can get so overwhelming for us at times, but it's so lovely to see such graceful empathy and uplifting encouragement from this wonderful community. @Crypty Scribbles Thank you again for the well wishes and the tailwind, I will take everything I can get! @RafaStaryStory I appreciate you sharing your own experiences and thoughts as they are very valuable. It's always inspiring to know how others have been through similar situations and how they came out stronger. We lift each other up with our journeys and wisdom, so much more than we will ever know. @abronymouse You are very right! Social spaces can be great, but it's always important to remind ourselves to step back and do some self care once in a while. I'm truly grateful to have met and known so many great ponies here. Thank you three and everyone else who sent me well wishes. I will always wish all of you and your loved ones the best as well. I do have one request for everyone: Please always look after yourselves and one another. Friendships are so incredibly important and it is critical that we continue to spread peace and love with everyone in this world. I will see everyone around again soon. Thank you again for all your kindness, patience, and understanding

This looks like a great haul! I hope you enjoy

Hola amigos! Espero que les haya ido bien en sus varios viajes en aprendiendo Español! Quería saber cual es tu banda español favorita? Hice no tienes una, hay otros grupos en otros idiomas que te gustan?

Sufjan Stevens - Chicago Thanks to @abronymouse and their recommendation of Sufjan Stevens' "Love Yourself" (which is also awesome!)

Thank you for your kind words, Dawnshine. I wish and hope others respect their real name, in addition to others who wish to go by their real/preferred name as well Oh I love Sufjan Stevens! One of my favorite songs from them is "Chicago". They're such a lovely artist and I appreciate this song! Lastly, I currently identify as nonbinary, but don't fret as I just updated my profile to match this so more people are aware. I've been going through a long journey and learning more about myself.

So I totally forgot to update you guys in the midst of everything in my life banding about. I was considering a blog, but maybe this should be a post, Idk. Several people have reached out to me about not responding to my discord messages and such - well, I have decided to simply not use it as much anymore. I was considering account deletion and was unfriending some people over time the past few months, as admittedly I was unhappy about some relationships with people, in some cases I was emotionally used by others where they ignored my thoughts and feelings on things in general, and in other cases it was not anyone’s fault. There were periods of time where I rarely had meaningful conversations in the week, despite having tons of friends online. Whenever I had any issues with anyone, I started to be more direct and it led to some great conversations and introspection. Other relationships ended respectfully or others were acknowledged to have run their course. Like two ships passing in the night. My clinical depression also causes extreme withdrawals, which leads to episodes of depersonalization and dissociation of other people. Even with my loved ones from time to time. So please do not take anything personally as there are some things I cannot always control. If anyone thinks I hate them or anything negative, I really do not. Usually if I dislike someone, I tell them directly, they say it back, we glare at each other and say “grrr” for a bit, usually until someone smirks, and then we laugh about it together. I wish I was exaggerating on this, but that happened to me more times than I can count IRL. It’s partially why I have started to essentially forgive everyone that I have met in the past. Even the people who really hurt me. I had an insightful conversation with someone that is a Buddhist here and they granted me a perspective I haven’t considered as I get busy with a lot of things online and IRL. Sometimes leaving things be and walking away from the chaos is better for your mental health. I feel liking having a lot of realizations is a recurring theme in my life XD I know there are other users who experience similar things, while others are not so understanding and that’s okay. Just as I try to be patient and respectful with you, I ask you to please try the same for me. Hope this clears up some things as I was receiving a lot of random messages and I needed to start clearing up my inbox. Lastly, I plan to take a small break soon to take care of things, but I sincerely wish everyone and their loved ones the best in the meantime.

Feeling great as things are starting to look more positive for my friends and myself. A couple I know just bought their first house. A trans friend finally changed their legal name to their REAL name after fighting with the courts for so long. Another couple got married after years of long distance in different countries across the globe. Several of my friends both online and IRL are progressing with their careers and friendships. As for me, I'm moving forward with relationships, creating both new ones and ending old ones respectfully, as I'm still learning and growing as a person. I'm planning on tackling through a lot of personal matters IRL soon. A new era is coming. Are you ready? Things are looking up more than ever before. Yes, there is a lot of strife in the world and our own personal lives, but there is a lot of peace, love, and good that we are capable of giving and sharing with one another. After all the rain, I can see the beautiful rainbow. To whoever is reading this, I wish you and your loved ones the absolute best!

When I used to eat cold cereal, these were the ones I typically ate: Corn Flakes, Special K, Raisin Bran(without the raisins, I know XD ), Honey Nut Cherrios, and Rice Chex. Sugary cereals that I tried from time to time were Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, Apple Jacks. I did not like the overly sugary and chocolate cereals too much.

I have watched and listened to ASMR videos for around 13 years now, I think? I recall having a decade's worth of ASMR videos in a YouTube playlist, but it kept crashing! I typically enjoyed massage and ambient music/noise videos. There are some soft spoken ones that are good, but not those exaggerated whispering and tapping ones. There's something for everyone in the ASMR community, it's pretty diverse and vast.

Pie, easily. I've tried banana cream and pecan pie and they were scrumptious! I recently had a really bad cake at a family member's birthday party where we all ended up getting sick.

Hello and Welcome to the MLPForums, Tanta! It's always lovely to have another changeling join us! I love your little dancing gif, it's very cute!!!! I hope you enjoy your stay here on the forums as there are many lovely and wonderful people here

I've heard quite a few rumors about myself on the forums, which is to be expected in any online space. I have even heard terrible things from people that are considered "kind" by other users. I found out that some people became greatly uncomfortable that I became great friends with other people and bonded much faster than them.Thankfully I have been able to clear things up with various people by simply reaching out and having an open and honest conversation. There are several people here who don't like how blunt or passionate I can be about various topics, especially when it comes to discussing the truth. I realized that, that too is okay because everyone has their preferences of approaching things. However, what isn't okay is when people start saying false things or misquoting what I have said. This is why I keep records of all my public and private interactions with people. What I started doing the past few months is now when a user asserts something I said or a misrepresentation of my character, I immediately ask for evidence and openly share my receipts as well. I find it disconcerting when people misquote my critiques on various subjects and people, and claim I spread a rumor when I'm being honest and transparent with them. I'm also working on improving my phrasing and wording so that there are less misunderstandings and confusion with people in general. It is why I am more selective and careful now about who I choose to spend my time with.

It's time to move on.

"Bite Hard" - Franz Ferdinand (one of my favorite songs btw )

"Hey, I see you working it, I see you strutting down the street. You look important huh? I walk the other way, I don't wanna bother you with my sobriety. We used to share the summer nights riding on our stolen bikes But now I don't interest you, I'm like a blog from 1999" Still can't believe it's been 14 years since I heard this song for the first time. Time flies!

Oh wow, that is a lot to unpack. We're just glad that you are safe @OverTheStars Please don't worry about having errors in your writing. English is my first language and I have a graduate degree, but I still make plenty of grammatical and spelling errors. When I need to escape from some negative thoughts, I try to talk to family and friends, listen to music, and read/watch fictional media to help me cheer me up too. Please know that you are doing your best given the current circumstances. It's completely valid to feel what you are feeling and I know that you are going to complete this last stretch of school the best you can. I hope the rest of your school year goes smoothly and that you and your fellow classmates are safe and sound for your studies. You got this! We believe in you

Plenty of fruit. Celestia knows I need all the fruit I can at this point

Everyone has been passive aggressive in their lives a few times here and there. Especially in our younger days when we were less mature. I recall when I was first learning how to drive and I would start death staring other drivers who would randomly cut me off and not use their turn indicators There was another instance where I decided to pull up next to them and give them the old "side eye"

I had a several different role models over the years as I'm a heavily flawed person and have aspired to reach for the stars as a child. For example, one of my many role models was Mister Rogers. Could I ever be like Mister Rogers, who I grew to appreciate more after his passing? The answer is simply no. I try to do the best that I possibly can. Sure I make tons of mistakes, but I have done several great deeds for other people as well. As that one friendly neighborhood character in that one movie said: "I'm just trying to do better"

I usually don't, but yesterday I did and it was worth it.

I'm disappointed that I was right about that person. Well, I'm still going to walk with you. You're down, but not out.
