Hi everyone! So many new faces on the boards, but I'm so happy to see many of my old friends are still around.
Firstly, I know its April Fools day, but I keep putting off making this entry for various reasons, so I'm doing it today. I promise this is all true and no joke at all. <3
Many of you know my screenname is this because my boyfriend loves Minty.
Steve and I are sadly no longer together.
After nearly seven and a half years, in October I finally realized as much as we loved each other, the relationship wasn't going to move on. We still lived in different states. He has to care for his chronically ill mother who won't let me move in with them, or want him to marry me.
It was the hardest decision I ever made in my life. I really hope none of you have to deal with the pain of breaking up with someone you still love, but there's no change, and we could spend the next seven years in the exact same positions. After all these months I'm finally starting to move him into a friendship role, and becoming less sad that seven years of "when we live together" and "someday" will never come to fruition.
Around the end of October, a friend from my local Brony group (the one BroNYCon was born from) and I started to become closer. I spent a couple of months in uncertainty as to where it was going as my feelings for him grew, and in December he admitted to me his were as well.
On January 7th, the night of BroNYCon, he told me he loved me for the first time. <3 His name is Paul, Brony name Mr. Disco. He's been nothing but kind and gentle and understanding with me as I move from one chapter in my life to the next, and I couldn't be more grateful. In my relationship with Steve, he was my best friend. And with Paul, we're quickly forming a similar bond, due to the fact that we have much more than Ponies in common. And when your lover is also your best friend, you have a very special thing indeed.
Some of you will be meeting him at the Maryland Meet, an event that he's just as excited for as our next regular Brony meet.

Otherwise, I've been pretty good. Still working in the bakery, and helping out with BronyCon and our BroniesNYC meets when I have the chance. While I do run into some negative comments from Bronies on the internet, the ones I refer to as my Brony Family have welcomed me and my weirdness openly, and I love them as much. We've been through so much since January its hard to believe such little time has passed.
I do miss this dynamic as well, though, and will try to pop by the boards more often now. <3
Hope everyone is doing well, and I look forward to getting to know the new faces as well!
