Misty Shadow 7,947 August 17, 2023 Share August 17, 2023 I was definitely more of a screw-up five years ago than now. I was still pretty shaken up after I had made a huge mistake on a site I used to frequent that got me and some friends of mine a ton of hate. While the people attacking us went way too far, I always wondered if what I was going through was a higher power's way of showing me how bad some of the people who were victims of circlejerking that I took part in to an extent on that site had it. I completely regret everything from that phase. Especially now that I've gotten to connect with Silky and her friends, seeing what a good job they do with creating such a positive environment that helps me really feel like I belong, I will never be going back to that phase. Comet's still best boi. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyribun 35 August 17, 2023 Share August 17, 2023 5 years ago I was 16 on my 3rd job, I was miserable. Went to school, came home for 30 minutes to get ready, then went to work for about 6 hours. I paid rent, I paid the car payment, I did it all and that felt nice but it was too much. I lost everything when I lost that job, my apartment, my car, my cats, my freedom. Grandma took me in and would tell me people stood outside our house waiting to hurt me, I knew it wasn't true but it didn't stop my anxiety. All I could think about was getting away anyway I could. Now I have my own things and i don't have to worry like I used to, it feels so nice. If anyone reads this and feels stuck like I did, please wait I promise with time it gets better and things turn around. It might get worse before it gets better but that's what it takes sometimes < 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBD 17,256 August 22, 2023 Share August 22, 2023 It’s almost five years since I posted here. I suppose nothing much change except I think I have gotten worse. At the same time despite of all the bs- it continues to make me who I am today and I wouldn’t have it in any other way. ♪ "I practice every day to find some clever lines to say, to make the meaning come through"♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abronymouse 5,757 August 22, 2023 Share August 22, 2023 pretty much the same :3 this is both a good and bad thing I would reference posts by me at that time to evidence this fact, but they are prolly nsfw I do like my early gens even more than I did then (which was not all that much) and have met some sweet ponyfolk on here (I hadn't joined back then) which led me to discord beyond that, yup... pretty similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubWolf 17,366 August 22, 2023 Share August 22, 2023 Pretty much at the same place now, except I had patience then. So not that much better. Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviddaviddavid 776 August 23, 2023 Share August 23, 2023 Let's see, 2018: I was more significantly more awkward then than now (yes that's actually possible, I promise), pursuing a career path I didn't enjoy (software development), I was in worse shape (not awful but not great either), I was still living with my parents, had a shitty car from 2010 and had never had a relationship that lasted longer than six months. All told my life wasn't the best back then. Not awful, but reflecting back like that makes me very grateful for where I am now. Here's to 5 years in the future!

SCS 7,537 August 25, 2023 Share August 25, 2023 I was more optimistic and naive, less emotionally stable but a more caring and empathetic person. I'm more resilient and stable now, but less passionate, colder and more apathetic. I still have empathy, but I feel ground down by life trials and generally exhausted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodlyWolf Gusty 2,148 August 28, 2023 Share August 28, 2023 I was more self centered and thought highly of myself. It really makes me cringe just thinking about it. Not a time in my life I'm very proud of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeeandponies 733 August 28, 2023 Share August 28, 2023 Let's see... 5 years ago... 2018? Well, for starters, I was still practically a child, only 19. I was getting high all the time and wasn't really following any goals or ambitions, working in a sandwich shop I believe. I still had pretty serious anger issues and hadn't really developed as much compassion/empathy as I have now. Very selfish, self-centered, etc. Lots of stuff you could say was wrong with me. Since then I've really tried to tackle my internal struggles and I hope that I've improved a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPackratt 365 January 17 Share January 17 Five years ago, I was a nervous wreck because I was worried about getting sick from a certain worldwide pandemic that occurred back then. I also closed my former YouTube channels because I feared that the COPPA update would affect my videos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just do not feel it because we have not achieved our ideal yet. Five years ago I discovered something precious. I returned to the forums post pandemic since online life became more central focused… But I became clumsy with what I had discovered and I got lost in some distractions. I am hoping to get a second chance with that thing and this time with the proper insight to carry it forward. So, I think there is always more credit due than we are willing to give to ourselves. I am sure you have come a long way, as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
