Derpy Hooves hasn’t had much luck in life. Aside from having a bad set of eyes and being a poor flier, she isn’t exactly the best at working her job. All she wants is love, a stallion who will accept and love her for being the pony she is.

Cute slice of life. Kept thinking something was going to go wrong, but I need some more optimism in my life.
Very immersive. It reminds me a lot of my recent delving into the world of ASMR. The way certain sounds build an 'atmosphere' that can set the mood for, uhh… your mood. *Blush*
The stacking of sounds really makes you take in the environment Derpy is in. She is exploring her world and in more control of it when it is consistant. The sound of rain, the washer, and the dryer. Then just the washer and dryer. Then just the dryer.
Derpy is, I think, learning how to self-soothe through her ownership of environmental conditions. She also is getting good at routines to where she 'feels' time without needing a clock. (I've kind of learned to sense time but that has been lately disrupted by how I no longer can perceive light. Though, for a good while, I needed only a touch of light from the outside to very closely approximate the time of day. I also got to where I could just wake up when I needed to do medications.)
I like Derpy's simple answers. She doesn't need to give complex statements. She knows certain responses for the way different questions, statements, etc. are presented to her. She's really beginning to come into herself thanks to the help of the Apples, Amethyst, and a mother who knew to not ever give up on her daughter.
It really is amazing to think about how environmental factors can make such a huge difference when it comes to being stuck with a condition / limitation. If Derpy didn't get the support she is getting, she'd likely have been placed in one of those 'homes'. However, through taking time to understand Derpy, everyone is helping her to come into her own without ever making her realize she's 'different' in that sort of way.
Nice job!

Who's to say it won't or hasn't, lol?
In all seriousness I try to balance the good and bad in my stories. Thanks for your interest in my writing. It means a lot

You've hit on a few things I was hoping to convey with this chapter and story. As cliched and kinda silly as this might to sound, there really is no substitution for the genuine love and involvement of other people.
I know a number of people (myself included) who's lives have been improved because a group of close people, be it friends, family or both, made it their mission to make a concerted effort to help that person get better. The brunt of self-improvement, however, generally falls on the individual being helped.
Thanks for the kind words and thoughts
