Harmony freakout beneath the cut.
I SCREENSHOT THIS BECAUSE I WILL NOT POST THIS BLOG WITHOUT PROOF OF THIS HAPPENING
Holy crap. Holy crap. If you told me back when I started here on this site almost three years ago that I would have gained a following of this size... Well, then I would have called you crazy!
Well, I dunno where to start with this. I really don't. Thanks for following me? Thanks for liking my dumb stories? Thanks for putting up my awkward self and my banana splits down the learning curve? Seriously, where do I begin?
Um... I guess... The beginning.
I started on this site back in 2013, right after the Twilight Alicorn Debacle. I started off by making small blogs about the show and where it was going, then I started writing with a small HiE fic. My full descent into the site came when I wrote my first SombraPie fic. By no means is it perfect, but dammit, I can never get over how much support that first story got me and how happy it made me. Enough for me to keep going. And going. And going.
Just... I genuinely never saw this coming. If only old Harmony could see me now! I mean, I know I'm not a bad writer and that I got some good stories, but c'mon, I'm not the best. I've screwed up before, you know.
But, you know what, up and downs is a part of life. It's not always easy, but it's always easier when you got other people to help you through it. So, to everyone who was there for me when I needed it, thank you. I know I can be pretty dramatic sometimes and that when I fall, I fall hard, but I always have you to help me back up. I also got people IRL, but you guys help me, too.
I still remember that first comment that encouraged me to keep going.
I still remember being featured for the first time.
I still remember getting that nod of acknowledgement from RainbowBob, the man, the myth, the legend, the one who got me on my SombraPie kick.
I still remember every critique that forged me, helped me to become better than I was, and I still remember all those kind words that I received.
I still remember everything on this site that helped me, and I try not to forget it, try as my dark side will.
I know that I have had times where I haven't been at my best and where my worst showed through. Yet, even through that, you guys stuck with me. I may not be saving the world, but I feel like I could when I have you guys with me. You gave me the magic I never knew I had and helped me awaken it.
I know not all my first followers stuck around to see me where I am now. But, I'm thankful for them while they stayed, and I don't forget the ones that came and stayed with me all through my time here. I'm also thankful for those who are new and I love you just the same. You all matter.
I still don't know where I'm gonna go in my life, to be honest. I'm still so young and I'm still learning so much, but, I know I'm better than I was before. At least, I like to think that. I have no cutie mark and I have yet to know my true purpose in this wild world of ours. But, because of you guys... Well, I think I can say I've definitely earned my wings.
Have I fulfilled my destiny? Lol, nope. I still got a ways to go before I can say I made it; before I can stop asking, "Are we there yet?" My crusade isn't over yet...
...But with you by my side, I bet it won't be long before I get there.
So, in short: Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for supporting me and giving me your love. Just... Thank you. I can't say it enough. Thank you.
Oh, you've come such a long way in such a short amount of time. Congrats on hiting 1,000 followers, and I'm honored to be one of them.
I've been on this boat for just as long, and I've enjoyed every rough tide, calm sailing, and glacier damage we've sealed with duct tape. I hope to see more in the future.
Man, Harmony, I'm super happy for you! You certainly deserve the 1,000 followers. It's funny, too, since just today, I noticed that you had 999 followers and I thought to myself, "Dang, just one more and she will reach a 1,000!" I should have guessed that day would be today. I also want to personally thank you for making a lot of stories, if not all the stories, very entertaining to read. I feel bad that I hadn't stuck around and I only recently came back, but I'll be sure to be here when you reach 2,000.
I also want to point out that I'm glad you are keeping all your options open for your future. You aren't sure on what to do, and that is completely fine, you have plenty of time to figure it out. That's pretty adult of you to think that way, I know a lot of teens would often jump at a passing wagon and call themselves an adult
(I...that was a bad analogy), but you take your time...I admire that. Though of course, it doesn't mean you're not mature, because you are, don't worry.Anyway, congratulations! Let your future days be bright ones! And, let the SombraPie live on as well as any other stories your thoughts spew out!
Kudos!
Congrats, it makes me so happy! Your awesome! deserve everyone of those 1000
bit jelious
Congratz.
Congrats old friend!
Great job on reaching that mark! It's quite a milestone. Take it in and take a few minutes to relish in your victory. Can't wait to see more coming from you.
Congrats.
congratulations
It's true, having those followers and friends can make all the difference. I heard it in a song once.
You've earned it :) All of it. -Applause-
All I can say is congrats. Well, actually, Imma say more.
I hope I was one of the people there for you.
I hope I was one of the first.
I hope I was encouraging you.
I hope you respect me.
I also hope you write more ButtonBelle, you!
It is very awesome on sticking with you. :3
I've been there ever since the beginning of your SombraPie story and saw it grew into being a 'sort of' official ship.
I dub you as the one who turned SombraPie into a thing. :3
