Rat's Saucy Nest

The way I see it, you found something you love so much that you want to live for it, in this case MLP. Now try to imagine how many things are out there, how many things that you will never, ever know even exist. There are countless pieces of art, books, movies, tv shows, songs, landscapes, animals, plants, activities and interests out there. For example, you could literally spend the rest of your life reading books and do nothing else and you still wouldn’t have read every book in existence. How many of those books that you’re gonna read do you think will touch you? With how many of those books will you fall in love? I’m pretty sure the odds are huge that there are hundreds, if not thousands of things out there that you want to live for. You just have to go find them.

If a certain aspect of a thing make you depressed, I’d try to ignore that part (in this case the fandom) as much as possible. I stopped reading certain forums or comments, because I just started to hate the community, for example. I’d try to fill the void that this leaves with something positive and new. Try out a whole bunch of new things, go read a book or start a new tv show, or go take up some classes at a community college or find a crazy hobby you might like. Chances are it won’t be long until you’ve found something else that makes you want to live. So you’ll have MLP plus this new thing, and can start to ignore the toxic and negative parts of MLP, since you’ll have something else that catches your attention.

I’m not sure if that made too much sense, I hope it did!

I feel honored that you decided to reach out to me and I’m really happy that you like my art. I love drawing for you guys, and I’m looking forward to draw a lot of art for a long time to come. 

Could you do me a favor and check out the following resources and talk to someone, please? https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/counseling_prevention_resources

The world is your oyster right now! Go do something awesome, have fun and enjoy life. If you think life is not worth living anymore, that means there’s nothing holding you back anymore, do something you always wanted to do or just something crazy. Move across the country, go skydiving, drive to Vegas and bet everything you have on black, take out a loan and travel to the first country you see on a map, do some crazy shit and explore the world. 

The world is beautiful, it’s hard to see sometimes, I know, I’ve been there. But keep in mind, that no matter how dark it is right now, if you keep going one day you will look back at today and be thankful that you kept going. In ten years, today will just be a distant memory and you’ll be in a better place.
