    I am crying as I write this.I have never lost someone before and really have no reason to cry at all, really but My Little Pony :Friendship is magic has to be an exeption.It makes me happy and brings pure emotion to me.I am eternaly greatful for being in the Brony fandom.I really hope someday I met a Brony freind in person.Cause it gets extremely loney being the only Brony in my family,possibly school.My parents dont know how depressed I really get..I am always feeling lonely and well I feel like an outcast at times.Strange how I can say this when im only 12 heheh.Well I love the story sorry of I sound depressed .It's cause I am .......But the Brony community brings a smile to my face and tears to my eyes.

    Sincerely

    Have you considered that either:

    B.  An android has infected you with a space-virus that makes your eyes bleed.

    C.  You are attempting to squirt milk from your eyes, and failing miserably.

    That might be why they thumb-downed it. Their eyes are too damp, so they were unable to aim their mouse right and clicked the wrong thing by mistake.

    I remember reading this on EQD--it's the work of literature that sparked my foray into discovering my current attitude(s) and perception(s) of life and death.

    Sadly, I can't say it was one of the formative pieces (that would be Terry Pratchett and his work Mort, Cornell West, Stephen Colbert, and a great deal of thinking on my part), but without this I may not have the beliefs I have today, beliefs that give me great comfort.

    You have my greatest gratitude. :pinkiesmile:

    Oh, and that thing about Celestia moving on and treating her new student the same way as she treats Twilight... It makes me feel like she is either heartless, or has been acquiring new students constantly in an effort to forget her first or something like that.

    This has also given me an amazing idea for a Romance-Tragedy fic, but I've got enough on my plate already.

    Ok, that was well done. I always feel that having a main character passing away is kinda cheating for a tearjerker, but the focus isn't on Twi passing so much as it is about Spike's reaactions. Also the first I've seen where the victim of longevity is Spike, rather than Celestia. Going straight to the favourites.
