Sometimes, you find somepony wonderful, somepony you can't live without. Sometimes you find somepony you want to spend every waking moment with. I know what it's like to find somepony like this. She came into my life and brightened everything. However, there is a flip-side to this coin... Sometimes you lose the thing you can't live without. When that happens, everything turns dark and gloomy. Everything becomes a hassle. Nothing seems like it's worthwhile.
How do I know all of this, you may find yourself asking? The answer, my friend, is very simple. I've seen both sides of the coin. Ive loved and lost. And it is the most horrible pain I've ever felt.
Come, join me as I tell you the story of how Twinkling Swallow came to be a part of my life. For better or for worse.

*Puts on a hat and grabs his briefcase*
You can send my muffins to me via mail.

Well good sir you have me invested into your story. *slow clap* well played.
Quite interesting. Sad and people would like to see more how this will end... if you want, can we talk? I would like your help for something, specially for somepony to talk meanwhile c:. It's for an interesint project.
Ouch, I hope Nettle starts to feel better. I wish there was something I could do for him, it seems to me that he needs a friend he can confide in. Let some of the hurt out so he doesn't bottle it in. Would it perhaps help if he had a quiet listener so he could he could relay his thoughts without the bombardment he might get from some of the more friendly ponies?
I'm really surprised this doesn't have more views than it already does.

Thanks. Just out of blind curiosity, what got you to read it?

I went onto your youtube channel to listen to Forgiveness Pending, but then i saw this story reading when i was going through your videos. So i listened to the first chapter and now i'm kinda hooked and want to find out how it ends..

Ah. I see.
Dude...you need to put a warning on this, you just triggered my depression >.<. Ugghh such a great story so far but dude this story is gonna mess me up for days now. I know i shouldnt but ill be reading any new chapters you release so i can get some closure on the story.
Oh My god
I love this story.

Thanks. It's been kind of a chore to write at times, but oh well. It's a story I have a deep emotional investment in, so I will keep writing, even if I take prolonged breaks.

Believe me, I know the feeling. Truth be told, this story was started from my own depression.

Its been a day so far and every time i think about your story it messes me up... im trying not to think about it but its so hard... great story but in the other aspect i hate it since it triggers my depression, those feels man
6234459
I find it hard to figure out how to take that. On the one hand, I aimed to make a sad story. On the other hand, I don't wanna mess anyone up. What about it specifically messes you up?
6234466 Because i can relate to it so well, with my clinical depression and such i can understand a lot of his actions

That does make sense. I have depression too, which, as I'm sure I've mentioned, is kinda why I began to write this story.
6235306 Keep up the good work man tho
6235310
I intend to. I have too much invested into this story to back down.
I feel like this song is really fitting to you Skij.
Awe~
Ouch.
If this was the last chapter why not just put it as complete
. It was a great read thanks
But nonetheless this chapter was really good I could really feel the emotions in it
7905169 I didn't mark it as complete because of several in-story years and 10 or more chapters of context and build up that are absent and will never be addressed beyond that authors note.
