Or, if I wanna go even further back, if ponies were around in 2009 and I found them, I could have countered that brutal depression I had that changed me and made my Pinkie a Pinkamena. I'm glad to have ponies and you all in my life. If I would have never known about them I probably would still be sad, pessimistic, angry at the world and signing up for guerrilla bands. I still have a distaste for the world around me, but its not nearly as severe. I have become more optimistic that things can get better, and not everyone is an evil, ignorant jerk. I see the good that people hold, and I now appreciate my friends much more. love you guys and I love this fandom &lt;3 no more hate, anger and sadness!"}
