My Apologies · 2:22am Dec 5th, 2014
To anyone that saw my last blog post... that was stupid.
I just want to let you all know that I decided against it. I've come to my senses realizing that that is truly a surefire way to erase all hope of recovery.
The past few days have been exceptionally tough for me due to things irl that I care not to really divulge in, and that blog was really a venting culmination of all of it.
Please, forget it ever happened, and I will try to abstain from ridiculous subject matter blogs in the future.
Will this fandom be the same? No. Is it dead yet? Far from it. Even with people leaving the fandom, there are still plenty of other people joining it every day. They won't have been a part of it as long as you or I, but they've got as much of a heart for it as we do. Try branching out some and you might soon find the fandom a bit less depressing.
It's alright, just let us never speak of this again.
2634471 Wrong blog bro lol.
I hope things go well for you in the future, and that you have a good evening.
2634527 Thanks. I noticed you posted something on the last blog literally a second before I deleted it, so I missed it. I'm just curious to know what it was, if you don't mind.
Well, I think some of my advice from said post's comments might still be worth trying out - if you're having this hard a time it might not be just "the blues" or something simple like that, you might want to talk to a doctor.
Glad to see you're not flaming out on us just yet, though.
Well glad to see you thinking clear. I may seem like a negative speaker here, but please hear me out.
For your own sake, do not focus your life around this. This is a hobby. While very fun and exciting, it's still just a hobby. I've seen and known many other fans and friends in this fandom devote so much time into either writing or video making they lose sight of outside things, the things In life really important. When they did seem to lose their interest though, they felt lost because that was all they had done for sometime
I even had that before, I was putting so much time into writing that I was losing sleep for my job, and in construction that's not something smart. I had to put this on secondary to my life. Even if it's just going to hang out with friends/family, excersising, working or just going out for the day, sometimes I would go a week before looking on here again.
Make sure life is the true priority before any fandom
2634556 I have talked to many doctors. They just put me on my antidepressant drugs which really did nothing other than have bad side effects. I've lost faith in the healthcare system.
If you care to, refer to this post if you want a more detailed depiction of what I go through every day:
Death seems like a very plausible option these days
2634561 Oh it's not. I went about 7 months without going on this site or doing anything related to ponies earlier this year trying to get my shit together. Schoolwork is also very lofty and tough. These days this is more of just a way to vent. I don't have the motivation or energy or confidence to write anymore.
Believe me I appreciate your comment more than most, being realistic and all.
Eh, a lot of people feel the way you do/did. (Hope I'm not talking about the wrong sad blog, but either way, I'm still trying to make a damn point!) I myself feel like the fandom is... not necessarily dying, but just not what it used to be, But you know what keeps me pony? What just makes it all worthwhile and reminds me that it doesn't matter how many losers up and 'quit' the fandom?
We're still here!
People still come to fimfic! They still read our drivel! We're not dying. We are going to live forever!
Stay pony my friend.
2634659 Thanks for the comforting post, but you're talking about the wrong blog lol. I'm talking about a post I made earlier today that was much more sinister that I deleted.
2634662 Ah.
My point stands.
2634531 Mainly that I'd lost a cousin to that stuff. Even if I don't know you very well, I'd hate to think I'd just stood there without even offering a word to try and dissuade you from it.
Like I said, hope you have a great evening and that things go well for you. Even when things hit their worst and you've stopped caring, you should try and find strength, be in in yourself or in the people near you, either physically or emotionally.
