Outpouring · 7:03am Apr 21st, 2021
Hello everyone! Now that my first true fic has been completed, I feel myself with a rush of emotions and I wanted to get them out here. Just like I said in my previous blog, being able to find some way to contribute to the fandom is something I've been trying to do for years. I tried learning how to draw, but thanks to an issue with the muscles in my arms, I have tremors that make anything that needs dexterity or a steady hand nearly impossible and I know nothing about music. I felt discouraged for the longest time, but once I discovered writing, that feeling of hope came back.
Being able to make something to share, even if it's just some simple fan fictions, means the world to me. I discovered Friendship is Magic way back in 2012 almost nine years ago to the T. Back then, I was just a depressed college student wracked with more anxiety than you could shake a stick at. Heck, just waving a stick at me probably would have been enough to cause a breakdown. Thanks to my girlfriend at the time, who is now actually my fiance, I learned that all these pony images suddenly everywhere I looked on the internet were because of a new show, I eventually grew curious enough to watch it and see what all the hubbub was about and I instantly fell in love with it.
FiM and the community that came up around it was one of the biggest forced of good I ever had in my life, and it's one of the factors that's actually let me still be around to be able to be typing this message right now. I now live in an entirely new state from where I did back then, I've made countless new and amazing friends, some who have been with me since way back when, and plenty of things that are too personal to say here. I felt welcomed right from the first moment I clicked on that link to EQD and I plan to carry this community in my heart for the rest of my life.
All rambling aside, you all mean the world to me and the fact that I was finally able to get something of worth out here has me smiling so big. Part of me wishes I could have been more active in the community sooner, but I'm here now and there's no sense lingering in regrets. I'll be back soon with more content and hopefully be more active elsewhere in the community as well!
Friendship Forever~ 
And I'm glad you're here with the community,
thank you for sharing this
