Hi everyone, I just finished watching all three seasons. I saw my first episode about a week ago and I almost immediately turned into a Brony. This show has had such a positive influence on my life. I'm a 19 year old guy with a few friends but for the most part I go to work and come home lonley and depressed. This show has made me appreciate my friendships and is truely an inspiration in my life. Does anyone else feel like MLP added something special to their life???? I wanna hear that I'm not the only one.
Honestly? Not really. I just see My Little Pony as what it is, a really good show. There are times when I'll watch MLP to get myself out of a bad mood, but aside from that the show hasn't really done anything to my life in general.
For a time it made me think that there really are good people out in the world. People I can love and trust even though I never even met them. My life has actually gotten much worse since I first watched MLP, but it's not because of it. If anything it helps the bad things seem...well...not so bad sometimes.
I've met some awesome people, and I spend quite a bit of time talking to said people, but other thn that, ponies haven't had a big effect on my life- I still live like I have the last 17 years, and would probably be living the same way had I not found ponies. Nonetheless, I'm glad I did, 'cos it's an awesome show. :3
Proved that sometimes curiosity doesn't kill the cat. I have an open mind and watched MLP to see what the fascination is among those of my age group, needless to say I've since become somewhat of a brony!
Yes, MLP has definitely had a big positive impact on my life back in the days. Now I hardly watch the show anymore, but I still recognize what it's done for me in the past.
I guess the biggest thing that MLP has brought into my life is the community. When a friend first pulled me into the fandom I never realized how deep of a rabbit hole I was walking into. Before MLP I had never read fanfics, followed non-canonical theories, had a favorite background character, etc. Now I'm helping to edit a fanfic, know just about every popular mlp theory there is, and have an otp. Whether this is good or bad? Heh, I'll leave that up to someone else to decide. :derpe:
A deep sense of meaning... OK, not really. Other than inspiration for a butt-load of fan art, the only thing it has given me is a new favorite show. I never expected that I would be saying that but oh well.
MLP has added ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to my life. Really. At all. Spoiler: See? Nothing at all...nothing at all...nothing at all...
I have learned to accept peoples opinions. Before if I heard you liked Justin Bieber I would be like, "WOW YOU DUMBBO!" Now I'm like, "Oh okay, cool!"
Dude, I'm so glad to read this. You always hinted you had some big personal conflicts going on, were struggling with misantrophia and your views on humanity, though I never quite figured what all your frustration came from. If you're being faced with constant bullying everyone develops some kind of mental survival-mechanisms. They are often unhealthy, but preferable over letting yourself get hurt all the time. God, bullying is awful. But being able to open up like this, having a place to be vulnerable and drop your mask of coldness, it's one of the most important things for a healthy personal development. Even if it's just through text and cyber space... even if it's just to the mental image of people you've never met. Everything is better than hating the world, and hating yourself. I don't know if I have a right to, but I'm kind of proud of you.
It helped me realize that I wasn't alone. True, I may never get to go to a con, but I've still made some good friends.
