inactive------account 80 January 9, 2015 Share January 9, 2015 (edited) My Favourite Mane 6 Pony rainbow-dash How did you find MLP Forums? How you became a fan of My Little Pony JOHN SEDDON HOW MLP SAVED MY LIFE THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW I BECAME A BRONY ITS SAD AND LONG SO BE PREPARED let me start from the beginning. i was born february 11th 1999 in ashland orgean at ashland hospital i was always the shy one i was tall for my age hitting puberty early so i wasn't considered the normal type always focusing on my thoughts only open to very few there were alot of things i loved growing up power rangers transformers and spider-man. but out of every thing i hated mlp always did. i thought it was too girly. as the years pass many fads rise i never really gave in to them i always stayed cool in my own way sorta like rainbowdash. through elementary i began to gain anger issues bouncing from school to school forcing parents to move. then i found out i was autistic which exlains my issues and my growth. now that that's out of the ways lets skip to 2012. 2012 the day started like any other i started with a cup of juice and some cereal sat down to some spider'man before school. starting on the bus ride to school i started feeling a pain in my stomach i thought i ate too much it was big after all. as the day progresses my pain got as i sit in the corner crying in pain people just pass me not wanting to help let me tell you having cancer was not fun it felt like i was dying like some one was ripping me apart slowly painfully both mlp and family played major parts in my recovery but this story is about mlps role and how i became something i used to hate i was then rushed to the hospital where i was diagnosed with lymphoma flown down to san fransisco. after testing and such i was given a laptop by the staff after requesting one while browsing the web for spiderman i end up finding a full episode the first episode having nothing else to do i click on it to see if i could get some laughs and to my suprise i enjoyed it alot after seeing rainbowdash and fluttershy and how they are it reminded me of who i was and who i want to be. after that i felt a feeling like my soul and my heart became one. i began watching episode after episode and grew to love it even more this show gave me feelings i never felt i felt secure while not by my mom this show just did amazing work. i felt like giving up like life wasnt worth it but as i continue to enjoy the show the thought fades it might sound weird but if it wasnt for the show i wouldnt of made it this show gave me hope and the courage to move on seeing all they go through and still staying friends even after big fights it just warmed my heart. it made me think i could do the same after 5 months in the hospital im finally able to walk and talk correctly but... i had a feeling of regret like i was never meant to see the show i felt gay. but i knew that wasnt the case but deep inside i felt the love for the ponies grow and grow and as that love grew the pain felt like it was fading but.it wasnt but each day i saw an mlp figure or video i felt happy the way spiderman and my other things never made me feel. and knowing that i wasnt alone when it came to this it was amazing. ` 2013 after much chemo i begin to grow weak i loose all hair the ability to feed my self all i could was sit there and cry trying to hold on to my life during those moments i thought of my family mlp and what i can be even the words gave me the strength to go on but in my head im saying what will my parents think? my mom watched mlp as girl but its different will i be hated? shunned? the answer was clear no they wouldnt think of me any less but i let my feelings cloud my judgement i hid being a brony for a very long time hiding in my room pretending to watch some usual teen stuff like violent movies and such if u get what im sayin but in truth i was watching mlp. it became harder and harder to admit being a fan it made me sick hiding it. after much thought i decided the day im cured if i survive im going to watch mlp without shame. 2014 after so much time in ucsf im switched to renown where i met a bunch of nice nurses who seem to accept me for who i am seeing the ponies i had on me the nurse introduces her self she asks my name i tell her my name is john. she asks me if im a brony and i reply yes i am she responds cool and leaves the room. me thinking she wierded out i turn the tv to watch some and she comes back with something in her hand she says here these are for you i kept these in my car and never really liked them. i hope you like them she passed me a card that read get well john my brony friend youll survive this just believe in your friends and family. on the card there were three pony figures twilight sparkle rainbowdash and fluttershy. i thank her in excitement and we both get back to what we were doing. sence that day she helped me out in the hospital along with a sweet older lady and helped me walk and enjoy life as i was being cured. my stay only lasted a week but they helped alot the rest of my treatment was out patient every visit id get a warm welcome and a new mlp item so it made life a little more worth it. out patient treatments lasted till june 2014 but it was all worth it to survive and learning new experiaence known as friendship is magic! late 2014-presentday as of december 2014 ive become a more open brony to my family they seem to accept even supporting it by buying me merchandise and custom tshirts. in school ive admitted it And proved it and lost alot of friends and gained more as of now my life is set im with people who accept me for i am thank you so much lauren faust and the mlp cast! its your amazing work that helped me survive my near death experiance! AND THAT IS HOW MLP SAVED MT LIFE AND HOW I BECAME A BRONY. PLEASE POST TO ANY SITE JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE. THIS STORY IS ALL TRUE AND THE EXPERIANCES AN FEELINGS ARE REAL AS WELL Edited January 10, 2015 by kamenbrony23 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
