I dropped out of the community for a while, considered selling most of my collection, and just put ponies out of my mind in general. But ponies are persistent, and they roped me back in. I'm getting excited about collecting again & I hope I can be more active in the community. I'm glad I still have most of my ponies. I was just so depressed and didn't have the energy to mess with them, and I felt bad for leaving them untouched for so long. But ponies are very forgiving, and after a break I'm ready to dive in again! I'm only sorry I won't make it to the fair this year.
