Pony Confessions

My Little Pony has, if anything, made my life much better.

Before the show, I was an absolute wreck. I was a hopeless romantic with no chance with any girl, I didn’t take my studies seriously at all, I had troubles with money all over the place, and most of all I had problems with people, being that a lot of people I knew and befriended were pretty bad and I generally didn’t have the courage to go up and make many new friends.

Ever since I got accepted into the Brony community, it’s just done so much for me. For one, being part of a fandom based on a show targetted towards little girls has helped me learn who are the crap people in my life bringing me down and how to deal with them. It’s given me an insane creativity spark, as I am now composing and performing music, writing webseries, organizing events, the works. It’s helped me make so many new friends from all over the world, all of which I owe too many thanks for.

Most of all, I crush very very hard on Twilight Sparkle. I’ve gotten a lot of shit for talking about it in jest, but that’s why I never bring it up seriously. To everyone’s dismay, my loyalty and feelings for Twilight has kept me a grounded man, and has actually inspired me to be better than I ever was, as if I actually were in a real relationship.

With that, thank you to everyone out there who’s made any at all difference in my life as far as the fandom goes. If you know who this is, you know who you are.

I’m male and a bisexual with a male preference and I was always so scared to actually talk to anyone about it or come out of the closet with it, but the members of a specific brony forum helped me accept it more and come out with it. I love this fandom and it is the nicest one I’ve ever been a part of, and it’s probably the most tolerant of LGBT people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Thank you fandom, I love each and every one of you.

Before I started watching, my life was going downhill. I never knew my father, and that constantly plagued my mind with wonder and pain. I was constantly depressed because of this. My mother couldn’t get a job to support my sister, brother and I. My close circle of friends all moved away/live too far away to hang out with. Along with multiple other problems I can’t be bothered to type out. Most of my days were me sitting in my room, thinking about how terrible my life was going and sometimes crying.

Alas, ponies caused me to get over my father and look at the brighter sides of life, like friendship. Thanks to this fandom, I’ve made a ton of friends, who are always there for me when I feel down again. They respect me more so than anyone I’ve met in real life. While falling in love with Twilight Sparkle like I have has its ups and downs, it also makes me happy and full of joy.

After my mother saw me so happy, she decided to work harder for a job to keep me as happy. Eventually she got a well paying one.

My life has gone much better thanks to ponies.

Some ponies know from my blog how depressed I’ve been

and they lifted me up with their spirits. Thank you all!

Going through High School I closed off all of my emotions due to constant bullying. I no longer cared what people thought of me but I also sort of lost myself along with it. Since I’ve started watching the show I’ve found myself opening back up again, gaining the confidence I lost. In a way, RD’s Rainboom gave me my smile back. I still lack confidence to come into the Brony community so I’ll sit back and watch.

But it’s because of you all and this Pony Phenomenon that I’m learning it’s alright to be myself. That it’s alright to be different. Thank you.
