ValkyrieScorpio 14 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 Hi everypony! I am new to this site (DUH) so I thought why not introduce myself. My name is Matt. I admit first off that I have bad grammar but you will learn why I do in a bit. I guess also you are all wondering who my favorite pony is and well I have 2, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. Pinky Pie is my most favorite because she has the opposite personality as me. She is hyper active and bubbly and I am depressed. Rarity because well she has the best singing voice. (Not trying to start any flame war) I want to tell a little bit about me. My parents divorced when I was 5 and my mom died from leukemia when I was 6, my dad was a deadbeat who only saw my brother and me on the days the court mandated him to. I lived with my grandparents until 2006 when my grandpa died from a major heart attack then in 2012 my grandma passed. I then lived with my brother and started paying for a room. I recently lost my job a few months ago and it has been impossible to find another. I was kicked out of my house with nothing but what I could fit into my car, so I am staying with my friend who got me into MLP. I was in a dark place because no one would hire me and I am single. I was contemplating suicide to end the sorrow I have been feeling all my life. I decided to take a drive one evening trying to clear my thoughts when a 18 wheeler ran into the side of my car. My head was split open and a small chunk of my brain was on the concrete. I was still alive and aware of everything that happened but I couldent move or speak. I recovered pretty fast but I have a horrible memory and a bad time trying to get my grammar and spelling correct. My friend was watching MLP on Netflix when I walked into his room and Pinkie Pie was playing the song "Smile". I sat there amazed at how the little pink pony was just to bubbly cheerful. When the episode ended we watched another and another. I have watched all the episodes of the first 2 seasons at least 10 times. Since I watched the show I found a new meaning of life. I have found a small part time job where I clean rest rooms on the highway for 12 hours a day 4 days a week. So I hope I meet some nice people on this site where I can make great friends and help enjoy life with them while talking about ponies. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody 570 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 Thanks for sharing that story with us! Ponies have a way of making everyone feel better. Many of us have stories like that, where the show inspired us to change our outlook on life--myself included! I've found the brony community in general to be just as special as the show!

Nas 2,873 July 18, 2012 Share July 18, 2012 That sounds like a really depressing, seemingly-endless, sad journey...but you braved it and pulled through, and I'm very happy to hear that. There's light at the end of every tunnel, and lucky for you, it was FiM, one of the greatest television shows in history. Glad to see that you've been blessed with confidence by it. Welcome to the herd, welcome to the forums, and more importantly have an amazing time being part of both. I wish you well in your daily life. 1 My journey in the fandom started on April 5, 2012. I joined here on April 24, 2012. Where that journey is headed now, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
