You know it will never happen, but you really wish that Equestria was real, and that one day you could see it.
This short story is about the struggle to accept that reality.

Nice idea. I think most would agree that it would be wonderful if it were real.

this fiction is realistic, fam. i think this is related to my real life as well, with my keyboard lighting up.

It's almost as if you read my mind, but made a few tweaks to keep the character from being an exact copy of me. I don't think I've ever identified with a character in a fanfic so much!
I also have a hard time accepting that Equestria and its inhabitants don't exist. Even though I know they're fictional, part of my mind just thinks, "They must be real!" I also fantasize about an HiE scenario really happening to me - suddenly getting transported to Equestria, and meeting and befriending the ponies I love. I've also probably wondered if there are ponies in my house if I hear a strange noise or two. What's more, I'm also a university student, and I can't say I really have any friends here.
But, as I implied, there are a few areas in which I don't relate to this guy, and I'm glad they exist, otherwise it would be kind of creepy. I don't have a job, and I've never had one. I also didn't really have a big group of friends at one point, though I certainly had people I regularly conversed with back in high school. I just never hung out with them outside of school.

(I would put this in a blog post but I don't even know if the story will get approved, because it might be too meta, but I don't know if this is what they meant.)

I don't think you need to worry about that. I'm pretty sure what they mean in the rules is that your story can't be about Fimfiction, the site.

I imagined the ending to have a bit more impact, but I think I lack the writing skill to pull it off.

At least you wrote something, and posted it. I myself haven't gotten to that stage, despite my username and it being over a year since I've joined.
Anyway, not bad for a first story! There were a few errors here and there, but otherwise, not bad.

Thanks man.
I feel like a big part of mlp's appeal is escapism, and an imaginary place where everyone gets along and wants to be your friend.
I did play it up a bit, but I feel everyone can relate to a close deadline forcing you to work on a task you don't want to do, or the loneliness of being awake at 3am sitting in front of a computer. So I juxtaposed that to a better reality that we all probably wish were real.
So many people spend their whole lives waiting for something interesting to happen to them, and it's a tradgedy that for nearly everyone, that 'call to adventure' will never come.
Sorry for rambling a bit, I find it interesting to think about and express these concepts.
(This is irrelevant, but one thing I underestimated before writing is how you perceive what you have written. It feels like you have written a landslide of text when really it is a couple of paragraphs.)

I day-dream a lot at work about Equestria and if I ever magically teleported there, I wouldn't have to worry about creatures and ponies judging me, except for the first time meeting them, I would befriend a whole bunch of ponies and go on adventures with the main six, Plus it would be better for my health because I would go outside way more lol. As everyone else would say, Pinkie Pie would always know if you were sad, even on the inside, and she will always be there to help. The only cons: I would miss my family and they would too if I was gone forever....
