- >IOS noob here
- So I'd like to preface this by saying that A: I'm a huge newfag and I cannot fathom all your fancy bbcode greentext n shit and B: Caution long post and also
- C: I'm having serious diffculty not writing hooves or everypony etc. so pardon the occasional slip-up
- I've had less than a dozen hours of sleep in the last week but IMO fuck sleep Y'all are worth it.
- Sacrifice is a virtue that lies between the generosity to give all there is to give, regardless of how utilitarian the need, and the preservece and stubborness
- to give everything even if someone else could do so in your place.
- I'm prolly not the best one to give you advice, guidance, or the gift of foresight, I'm struggling with my own deamons. But Goddeses damn me if I don't at
- least give you something to hold on to if I pass out before I can make a part2 to this post.
- Frienship is magic. It sounds pretty cheesy, advice condensed to fragments of language falls short of it's true meaning more often than sparing the
- explanation. I've lost hope in this world, and the one thing keeping me above the water is you guys. From all the "This thread is cancer" posts to people
- like you, I feel at home here more than I do in my own room.
- I'm trying really hard to keep this short, so if you only really take one mantra away, one line you can cling to, hold yourself above the water with, it's this:
- Find your virtue. Find something you admire, something you aspire to be. Something you connect to on a deeper level than understanding. Something you
- can hold onto, an anchor against the pounding tide and the screaming winds, something to hold yourself together with despite everything thrown at you.
- Everyone's done something they regret, everyone has their own deamons they fight each and every day. Some of us are just better at hiding it. I'm not in
- any position to tell you how to get your life back together, but the one lesson that I learned that really helped me was that no matter how much I avoided
- the climb the mountains would always be there when I opened my eyes again, subconcious or not.
- In more practical advice terms, what I mean is you're going to have to force yourself to do something you don't like, something you fear. It's a lot easier to
- face that when you've got a facet of yourself you can cling to, brace against, and stand firm despite everything that comes. I call them virtues, maybe I
- watch too many ponies. Just remember the elements don't require you to be perfect exemplefications. They require you to step up, to take a stand, to do
- something you might not like even if someone else could have done it for you. Dash abandoned gilda, Twi's magic has failed her innumerable times,
- Pinkie's lost her laughter, Fluttershy's lost control of her anger more than once, Rarity's seen her selfhish, snobbish side, Applejack doesn't always tell the
- truth. Find something that resonates with you, some statement or mantra or virtue that you can recall when times get hard and you can brace yourself with
- when it's time to step up, to be galvanised.
- Look for a job in a social setting. especially if you're not comfortable with it. Service, or sales etc. Join a local group that forces interaction, force your own
- hand, regardless if you think you can handle it. You're a good kid. You've got it in you.
- That was a pretty disjointed post.
- and if anyone wants to give me a shout, needs someone to talk to, or even just to know there's people behind these tags, add me on skype,
- Alphagamer774. /mlp I'm trusting you to not crosspost this into like /b or someshit and get my skype spammed.
- And honestly if this gives anyone a gleam of hope, then it was worth it.
- DAMMIT STOP POSTING FASTER THAN I CAN WRITE.
- >RE people being all "get over it"
- Shit don't work that way. You can't truly remove a factor until you take away it's reason for being. Depresson, in this case, is always much more deeply
- rooted and helluva lot more complicated than most of us care to admit. Hoestly, I'd submit that it's because more than a minority of us here can feel at least
- the faint twinge of blackness creeping in
- >RE Frighteningly gruesome train analogy
- Life kind of works that way. Everyone who has ever existed has died, and everyone who ever could will too. Wester society teaches us to keep perspective
- by holding our beliefs in the beginning and the end (Hence apocalypse predictions, next one's in '14), but there's not a whole lot of light at the end of the
- tunnel if you keep expecting the sun to set. We're here for the journey. We always have been, and we always will be. If it takes a work of fiction rather than
- truth to pull that curtain from your eyes, then is it not worth it in the end?.
- >RE My life sucks more than yours does
- Again, I'd hate to push any harder than I have to. You're likely suffering more than we have. But I don't think miserly can be measuerd on a linear scale.
- You're not suffering from a 6 and therefore it's worse than my 4 or his 3. Everyone on the battlefield, fluttershy would say. We're all hurting a little, and
- somtimes it just takes a virtue.
- And now it's 4am and I still haven't slept.
- >If my star doth shine any glimmer upon the world we live in, some meagre hope, cast upon our sullen landscape, any hope that I might have done
- something good, then the gift was worth it's price.
- also paren't computer has no poines so no pics sorry <3
- >RE Steam IDs
- Alphagamer774, any of you feel free to add me. I own like everything.
- >RE Absurdly low limit to posts
- Fuck off 4chan I'm trying to be the nice guy here...
