I suppose it's time for me to reflect on my own pony past and pony thoughts · 8:11pm Apr 28th, 2019
As of now, I don't pay attention to most things related to FiM. I haven't watched the show since the end of season 5, and with good reason: they added so much more lore, and so many new characters. That's great, and I didn't even feel obligated to walk 10 miles to see the movie in 2017, but I don't think I have the patience for watching a series anymore. It was a wanting resurgence that welled up inside me, wishing to keep writing little stories with my own take on the wonderful world of Equestria. I'm not sure if we'll say goodbye to the country or not...but I want to stay between its shores. I'll always hold on to the world and it's few select characters that I adore more than most things in real life.
I discovered FiM in the third-quarter of 2011 when I'd say the fandom was still really establishing itself in the mainstream scene. I fell in love and wasn't afraid to show it around my fellow government(?) employees. I wasn't afraid of anyone's opinion of me, maybe because I've always been a little ignorant to the world around me, especially growing up. But it changed me. Like so many others, I was dealing with a stagnant, depressing part of my life, despite me having a great job and making bank.
Ponies changed me, like most others. You can think of about every practical reason, and I can have it applied to me, I'm sure. I instantly started writing fanfiction to show my adoration for the majesty of the world it proposed, that friendship is magic; the promise I kept and have held close to my heart ever since then. As I will, forever and always. But I've grown, too. Spiraling back in and out of depression and overwhelming anxiety, I hope that I'm out of it for good. And with the feeling of a fallout- Equestria-style world — that is to say, without any more source material being created — we'll all have to just find our own magic...within ourselves and within each other. I get misguided at times, but we're all in it together... or at least, we can be there for each other.
Damn, I'm tearing up now.
I love you, every single one of you

I became a fan ever since the first episode released, and I'm still here watching it to this day, keeping up with the stuff. Mlp has made me really happy in life

Wish the best for you friend^^
5050758 You too, Arctic. You're all special to me ^^
I don't remember exactly when I fell in love with the show. it was when my high school friend told me to look at it and I decided why not. I watched every episode from season 1-3 (which was all that was out) Then awaited season 4 to at last come. The series was beautiful, and it brought me here. This place where I've found so many great friends, friends that have gone, and friends that have stayed. I love this place and this show, as it has made an impact on my life for the better.
