Hello, I'm new here and this will be my first contribution/post to this forum. I'm not quite sure if it is proper to me to discuss such a trivial thing, but it's something that really matters to me.
I'd like to talk about fictional characters, and in my case, I'd like to talk about Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony.
I know that it's a kids show, and I'm often frowned upon when I mention it's one of my biggest interests, if not the most. It's a show that taught me all I didn't know about friendship, I was a really lonely kid back then, but it was nice to imagine to have a friend group as tight as Twilight's.
Twilight is all I aspire to be, I wish I were half as organised as her or as enthusiastic about learning or academic work, but unfortunately I do lack in that department. What I do relate to, on the other hand, is how she was depicted in Equestria Girls – sure the film is not amazing, as it was just a way to sell dolls to kids, but now that I'm all grown up, I can kind of relate to her.
She was just a pony trapped in a human body, she didn't know how human teens behaved, she was seen as awkward and overall really weird.
I relate to that, a whole lot. Back in primary and middle school I always received weird looks for literally anything, for how I talked or moved or behaved, I never understood what I was doing wrong, and I still don't.
Of course I've now managed to imitate how others behave, I can more easily adapt myself to others, how to get on their good side and what kind of behaviour to use depending on the person, but even then I always try to stay loyal to myself and keep a balance of property. Am I making sense? I'm not sure.
I digress, aside from that, I always try to channel Twilight's likeness to get through things, because if I cant do something myself, I can do it as Twilight. She keeps me grounded, and always had for more than a good decade. Perhaps it's not healthy, but at least it's not consuming me whole. I hope other people can find that joy in characters, regardless of the media from where they belong. Embrace your interests and embrace your quirks, because life is too short to live in a lie – especially in a forum of this nature
