NitroSilverNigel 13 February 15 Share February 15 My Favourite Mane 6 Pony Applejack How did you find MLP Forums? I was talked into it by Princess Silky. She is an amazing promoter. How you became a fan of My Little Pony I became a Brony back in the grand year of 2011. As for how... Well its been over 15 years. I had an attempt of suicide that day. It would have been my second attempt in my life at that time. I was about 16, and I hated being bullied at school, at home, and even online. Don't worry, I got better. Yet, back to the story. On that day, I was at my family's home, watching my 3 younger cousins by myself. At the time, there was a certain episode of MLP on tv. The episode was "Green isn't your Color." An episode of Rarity and Fluttershy about jealously and miscommunicating your feelings. That small episode, sparked life back into my soul. It was one of many to envigored me back into my own life. That small flame was enough to light up my darkness for that day. Of course, that was only that 1 day. Thankfully it was a Saturday. You see, I grew up as the last generation of kids to have the pleasure of Saturday Morning Cartoons. So please understand my cherished memories of those times. I suffered through another week of torment and endless anger. Yet, I started to watch more episodes of MLP, every Saturday. It soon became a dark game. Watching the episodes, to see if they were strong enough to hold back my third attempt. Yet, every week, it did. Eventually, I came to learn that I was watching seeing season 2. Seeing that was only 2011, online streaming wasn't as epic as it is now. So watching Season 1 was out of the cards for me. At that time. You can say at that time, God was definitely watching over me. As it would quickly work for me. I was able to watch Season 1, with the premieres of Season 2 new episodes. Finally watching all the episodes, I finally grew more of a person. I thank Lauren Faust and My Little Pony, and to a slightly lesser degree, Hasbro. Now years has passed, and I have become a strong man. Okay, I'm at least a kind hearted man. Yes, I'm wholesome. Not without some pain.... Now, I love life and joy. I will share that with others! 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abronymouse 5,788 February 15 Share February 15 welcome and thanks for sharing that story - it shows people who are struggling now that there's light at the end of the tunnel. I had a rotten time when I was 13 and used to wonder what it'd feel like to be happy... but it past and I have some great years and now ponies too! :3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroSilverNigel 13 February 15 Author Share February 15 Woah, I didn't expect an answer so quickly. Guess that silly silk princess was right. This place is active. Possibly more active than CA..... Thank you though, I'm honored that I was noticed and even more glad to know that others felt the same way I once did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
