    Questions about Equestrian Timeline

    Hey everyone,

    Real fast, since am actively writing and am trying to plan stuff better. I have a couple questions;

    1) What were the months called? I tried looking it up and can't find anything. I know they have like Nightmare Night (Halloween), Hearts and Hooves Day (Valentine's Day), etc, but I don't see actual month names on a calendar. Granted, never saw a calendar either.

    Life Update #I Forgot

    Hey everyone,

    I hope you all are safe and taking all the precautions you can in these crazy times. Life can slip away, and boy, howdy, it's been some time since I've actively interacted with this site. I often open it to see if I get any messages (sometimes email doesn't work).

    Random Question

    I honestly can't remember, but if I were to update a published chapter, would it delete the original date published or not even show the updated chapter?

    Also hi everyone, I am not dead yet. There should be a blog post coming out sometime next week that will fill ya'll in on what I've been up to and plans for stories.

"It isn't good to hold on too hard to the past. You can't spend your whole life looking back. Not even when you can't see what lies ahead. All you can do is keep on keeping on..."

Looks at the calendar and the last blog post Well then, it’s… it’s been quite some time. Almost two years since I’ve last pestered you all haha.

I’ve honestly been meaning to write this blog more or less since the beginning of January but could never figure out how to articulate it properly. But I felt that if I kept pushing it off, it’ll never get done, so here I am.

I just wanted to say thank you to any of new followers for the follow and any upvotes/favorites of my stories. Somehow, I’m up to 185 followers, is incredible. I do pop on this site daily, to see what’s happening here.

Firstly, let me say I’m so flipping sorry to tommytran, I saw your message, I’m just super horrible at responding D:

Secondly, if you could be so kind, a good friend of mine just released his first book on Wattpad. If you could go check it out, that’d be awesome. I’ll have a link here.

So, really… I’m not too sure how I should start this. I feel that I’m usually pretty honest with my feelings. But I figure I’ll start with what everyone is wandering about - “Flash, where is the story updates?!”

Truth be told, I haven’t written anything pony-related since… I wanna say that Learning to Live and Love chapter? Gods, that was 2016. It’s been four years since I’ve really thought about MLP. I do sorta miss it, although am not sure if it’s actually the show I miss or the memories I have surrounding it. The last episode I watched was when we found out Fluttershy had a brother, and I heard nothing but a lot of negative things since then as the show progressed. From what I’ve heard, the final season and episode was nothing good, but I do plan on re-watching it eventually.

But my mind hasn’t really been in this neck of the woods. I wouldn’t say I’ve moved on, but my muse has transferred to other shows... if you could even say that.

I kind of went silent on writing, I felt like my writing is garbage (and still sometimes do), but that’s not really new for anyone that’s been following me for a while. I still think that to this day and struggle sometimes to write.

I do have all the plans written down back when I was religiously following the show, so when I can actually get my headspace there, I plan to finish. I honestly feel like George RR Martin, and by that I mean who knows when I’ll finish haha.

But to sum it up, I haven’t forgotten about this place nor my unfinished stories, I still get teased occasionally by some people about inability to finish a project before I start a new one. They will be finished and am hoping at that time that I live up the big freaking gaps in-between chapters.

Now that the important stuff is out of the way, it’s time for a life update. Honestly, nothing’s really changed since the last update, well, nothing super significant.

I still work at that job, even though I’m furloughed because of the cornonavirus. The company is planning to move to Kentucky soon, probably within the next two-three years, so that’s cool. And this time last year, I had a bit of a mental breakdown and actually was put on medical leave from work.

I was getting a normal checkup and I’ve been having constant pain in my chest, so my doctor was talking about stress and he asked about work. Apparently that was a trigger and my blood pressure and heart rate spiked and I got really aggressive. I think I told him that I planned to kill myself if I had to continue to work there haha. Oh, the irony. So I uh, got sent to a therapist and psychologist and then I went into group therapy for a month. And I gotta say, that month was amazing, till the end at least.

On the last day of May 2019, my great grandma passed away, on my grandma’s side (her mom). She hadn’t been doing good for the last few months there, and there were a couple times were everyone thought that she passed on sooner, but she was stubborn and so strong. She was… gosh, I wanna say 92-93?

I feel a little remorse because I sorta neglected spending time with her. I neglected spending time with a lot of people. I’m happy that she’s not in pain anymore. This Mother’s Day was hard on my grandma, but we were able to make her not dwell too much on it.

But after that, I went back to work and have been pretty consistent there. There’s a couple times that I feel am getting overwhelmed and I’ll take a personal day to just detox. And I have a notebook that I kept a bunch of notes from therapy that I reference quite a bit.

But in August, I also took a certification course and now am a registered environmental auditor, which is neat. But with work leaving, there’s not much I can do there.

Nothing else really interesting work-related has happened, coronavirus has crippled us but we’re still going, somehow.

And on the personal side, my girlfriend and I celebrated three years together back in March. There were a couple rough patches that both of us thought that it was over, but we both made compromises and I feel like we’re also stronger for it? If that makes sense haha.

I’m going back to school and so far, I’m passing my class. If all things go well, I’ll be graduating with an A.A. in the fall. It’s taken me a lot longer than it should’ve but here we are.

I’ve really delved into Youtube, so there’s that too. I’ve thought about streaming, but I get cold feet each time. Is extremely difficult to focus on the game and chat at the same time… I might mess with it more, now that I’ll have more free time soon, once school is over.

And really… that’s all I’ve been up to these last few years, work, girlfriend, games, and looking for other places of employment. Lately (like since December of last year), I’ve really considered moving to the UK. It’s always been my dream to live there, and the place I work at currently has a branch there. I’m tempted to ask if I can transfer.

But yeah, is a pipe dream. ALSO! I wanted to personally say sorry to themouthofmush for having to deal with me every day.

Anywhos, hopefully you all are safe in this time and are enjoying whatever you can to keep yourself entertained. I hope for the best for whatever you all are planning to do, and that you accomplish your goals.

I’ll probably get back to writing after this, got some motivation haha.

Also, I usually leave ya'll with a picture... so...
