Real Life Scare · 10:30pm Jul 20th, 2012
So I know I said I wanted to talk about the paths the story might have taken for these last few chapters. But as it is wont to do real life happens. I happen to live in Colorado. In fact not that terribly far from Aurora. I'm safe, my family is safe, so far as I know my friends are all safe. Talk about scary though. My co-workers and I were toying with the idea of going to a midnight showing of the Dark Knight Rises, and if we'd decided to go that would have been one of the theatres we would have considered going to.
Instead of talking about the story let me say this. I'm blessed and thankful to be part of such a community as the MLP fandom. Be kind, honest, generous, and loyal to the people you know. Laugh away the bad things in life. And appreciate how magical the gift of life and friendship is.
Funny how things like this make you think about just how lucky you are. Day-to-day life wears you down, and little things can get you angry or depressed, all making it easy to forget that in the end, those things don't matter. You have your life, you have your health (hopefully), and you have your loved ones. Those are the only three things that count in the end. Anything more than that is just gravy.
