My first year as a brony.

It is pretty crazy to think that i've been around in this fandom for a year now. It's probably the quickest i've ever gone from curious to a die-hard fan. The show has brought us so much, and we do out best to give back what we can (even though we've never had to).

This year hasn't exactly gone fast to be honest. Though it hasn't been slow either… There's been a lot of things happening and i'm finding it hard to summarize it… I think my mind has been (and still is) pretty scattered because I have a lot of different places to lay my focus on. There's school, getting a drivers license, trying to get a job, my social life, my brony life and I also think a lot about this being my last year of childhood. In fact it's just only about exactly 3 months left and i'm hoping that I can make the best of it so I won't have to regret it when i'm older.

So there's been a lot of stuff going on. I can tell you one thing though, this show, and the people i've met throughout this journey so far, is always what has kept me going. It's pretty wierd to think that a show like this is so influential on my life. But it really is. Finding MLP is best described for me as walking 20 miles and finally coming home to a huge bottle of ice cold water.

The success i've made here is pretty outstanding and most of the time I just wonder if I deserve it all… I've never really felt like I fit in anywhere before this. The friends i've made and the future that it's provided me is outstanding.

Like everyone else, my life isn't perfect like some people seem to assume. I can realize why it seems like that though as i'm not one to talk about my problems… But, I will agree that I am one lucky as hell guy. I really have every single thing I need right now and I appreciate that for all it's worth.

I'm trying to think of if I have any regrets from this time… The one thing I can think of is probably that my attitude isn't the best, I think I might come off a bit arrogant sometimes and if I do I apologize and I will try to better myself and live by friendship and tolerance (which is my own twist of L&T).

I want to create more content and get back to PMV'ing as soon as I can. But it's defenetly easier said than done. I made Disconnected when I was on the summer holidays and I just don't think that i'm capable of balancing my everyday life with it. When I made it, it was literally just about all I did for 5 days straight. So if you're worried that i've made my last PMV already you can lay those to rest. I am absolutely sure that I will make more, but I need to do it when there is nothing else stealing my focus. It's just the way I work.

The thing that I am by far the most grateful for that has come out of this year is the friends i've made. Just thinking about that makes me smile. I have met some of the coolest people in my life, through my computer at home. Even though this is 2012, that thought to me is still pretty crazy. I'd like to mention some people who have been absolutely amazing friends and have gotten me through all of this in one piece.
