I was getting a feeling of deja vu when I saw this thread title, but then I realize it's the same thread I read almost a year ago.
Nobody else could have said it better Virgil. Since I became a brony, MLP:FiM has really been changing my POV on friendship and relationships, and how importantly vital they are in order for us to fully enjoy our lives while we still can. I haven't had many true friends throughout my lifetime, but a short while after FiM came into my life, I've been realizing that I should stop constantly isolating myself in my own loneliness, that I should start going out with people that I know more often, and I should generally enjoy life outside of mostly just sitting at my computer desk for several hours on a nearly daily basis.
Thank you all for the well wishes. I now reside at the Blog for stuff like this where I can have more room and so forth. Look for more posts like this there!
