First off, I will warn you, this post is sort of all over the place.
You (or whoever rando reading this) may or may not have noticed that I haven't been on in the last... week? If you have, I apologize. If you haven't... okay.
I'm sorry. I just... haven't been in the mood to log on. Before, I would practically die from not being on for more than an hour... but now... it's just... not the same? I've been sort of putting aside this fandom, reading other series, trying to get more sleep, drawing things that aren't just winged horses, hanging out with friends more, not waiting until last minute to turn in hw, spending time with family.
I know, this will sound dramatic, but this site has sort of taken part of me. Not trying to be rude here.
The thing is, we only live once. And we can't live by sitting in front of the screen and shutting out others, now can we? Now, I'm not saying we do, I'm just saying that I could've.
The point is, I'm definitely not going to be as active on here as I used to be. Maybe logging on few times a week, or a RPing for a little bit and stuff like that... but... not every second for sure.
You could call it leaving, taking a break, I call it getting off social media and living.
Don't get me wrong. I still love you guys, you people behind the screen that I've never once met before in person. Gosh, I love you so much. But that doesn't mean I'll be on much.
Just needed to tell you. Goodness, this is getting long. Classic me XD
Love you peeps💕
...Second, I sort of need help. I like this boy at school... but idk if he likes me back. He might, I'm not sure. I'm planning on telling him closer to the end of school (we only have like a week left tho), since I'll be... leaving and going to a different school anyway. And that's another thing. I've wanted to tell you guys for a while but have kind of tried to hide it at the same time... because it would feel more real if I made a post about it or something.
My mom signed me up for a private school back in February I think. I know some friends who go there... but I don't want to go. It's a smaller private school, Christian, very strict clothes policy (only black shoes and no other color on shoes, have to have hair up and no dying it, have to wear the school uniforms that make me feel like an old lady), and... not my kind of thing.
Ha ha, lucky me. Sorry, just needed to vent.
But... back to my crush. I'm planning on emailing him through the school website thing or getting his email somehow... but idk. I'm literally so nervous. One of my close friends knows I like him, my other friend might know too (but she might like him also... *bites lip*)... and... yeah. Any advice? (Though please don't say "Go with your heart" or anything because... 1... my heart is stubborn and yeah. Also, now that I think about it, it would probably be something I would say. *regrets life decisions*)
...hi. Heh. It's almost midnight at the moment... I should probably go to bed. I'll try to get on tomorrow if I can, and I probably will. Wuv u ^^
Also... I updated/re-did my About/Profile page. I'm not going to say anything, so read it if you want. We can have a chat about it if one... errr... certain lil thing angers you. Sorry Starleaf shippers. But I had too :)
Again, love you darlin, but I gotta sleep (or try too). Night <3

(If you read this whole thing... thanks)
Stormsun! Of course I noticed you were gone! The MB wasn't the same without you. -hugs the computer sceen-
While I'll miss you, I completely understand why you won't be on as often. I understand and agree and I definitely don't want you to feel obligated to log on. The MB isn't supposed to feel like a chore and I'm sorry that you haven't been motivated lately. You don't sound dramatic at all, and sometimes I feel the same way, so please don't get discouraged.
You're right. We only live once and we should live doing the things we want to do. I hope that you are living your life the way you want. And I must say Stormsun, what you admitted to in this post isn't an easy thing to do. Logging off social media, admitting that you've been unmotivated, and revealing the truth behind your absence is a very brave and courageous thing to do and I am very proud of you❤️
Like I said before, I'll miss you, but I am comforted by looking back on all the memories, laughs, shipping moments (mostly with Melly XD) and getting to know you, even though I've never actually met or seen you.
If you ever need someone to talk to, I'll always be here.
Speaking of Melly, Merrick will miss you too, but he understands as well.
-Merrick waves in the background- "See ya soon, Storm"
NOW, to talk about your crush.
I have no idea how to talk to guys, let's just start there. To be honest, I am the last person anyone should go to for relationship advice because I haven't had a crush on anyone since like....7th grade and I'm a junior in high school right now. (Ironic since I'm a shipper and most of my characters are apart of a very healthy and loving relationship XDD)
Stormsun, you said it yourself. You only live once. I say, go for it. Tell your crush your feelings, because if you don't, you might regret it in the future.
And if he rejects you or he simply doesn't feel the same...then you can go find someone new. Yes, it will hurt. But, don't worry. Stand up, dust yourself off, and keep going. If it doesn't work out between you, then just keep living.
I hope moving to a new school is easy and you make new friends! I hope that everything will turn out for you! I hope that everything I said helps you and makes you feel better!
Stay awesome!
(This was a long one heheh my bad XDD)

Just a couple of characters from my story.
This is Venomclaw. He's... a pretty complicated and special character in my story... that's all I'm going to say XD
A winged mare, Teardrop (goes by Teary). She's also quite an important character...
Dawndancer, the main character in my story is being drawn. I also have a drawing of her youngest sister, Pond, and her brother, Beetlesting, in my math notebook somewhere. I'm also currently working on a different character lol
I havent really known you for a long time, but I know I'll miss you! Even if you'll be on a little a week. I dont really have any advice for crushes cuz that's not really my thing yet, but if I did I would tell you.
It's a smart decision you're making, @Stormsun , others might not understand but I do. Taking a break from social media is always a smart decision. It always helps you detox and stuff like that.
Anyway, enjoy your living!

Also, are any of you Wings Of Fire lovers? Because... that series is GREAT :D XDD
Winter Turning (book 7 I think...) is the one I'm currently waiting for to be ready for pick up at my local library (I have it on Hold). I hate Winter though, but wutever. Moonbli lol
ALSO also, I'm writing a story. It's about Dragons (not a WoF fanfic though) and other mythical creatures, and also humans. If you'd like, I could show it to you. I've also been drawing some of my characters from my story, and if you'd like I could show you some XD
Hey, Storm!!
I was wondering where you went to! ;) I'm glad to see you're ok. As for what this post is about, I COMPLETELY get it. I found myself not spending as much time on here lately as I did when I first got my account on here. I know life can get busy, and hard, and just plain annoying, and we sometimes have to make decisions that'll be the best FOR us in the long run. Just know that I, and all of us on here, will be here for you when you need us, we're your Guardian Herd, we protect and help you!
As for the second thing. I suggest telling him. It may be scary, it may be uncomfortable, but many things in life ARE. It'll stretch you and take you to places you need to go. You can't go through life 'playing it safe' because...how else would you grow? Let's say, for example, that you wanted to try baking a cake, but were scared it would taste terrible or that you, for some other reason, would fail, so you decided NOT to bake the cake. You could be missing out on something you REALLY enjoy if you don't do something because you're SCARED to, and it's something I've had to work on. Trust me, sometimes, doing the uncomfortable scary thing can be the best thing for you.
As for the Brackenleaf Shipping. Hey, sister, you do you! ;) I myself prefer Starleaf, but Brackenleaf is ALSO pretty nice. I'm not going to judge you due to your favorite ships. We can debate and disagree, but that doesn't mean we can't still be friends! (Orrrr...as much of a friend as we can be when we both don't know each other in real life, LOL!) Again, if you prefer Brackenleaf, that's TOTALLY ok! There's NO NEED to apologize for it!
I should PROBABLY end this before it turns into a MONSTER sized comment, XDDDDD Just know I'll always be here if you need to talk!
May The Wind Stay Strong Beneath Your Wings,

GIRL- It's TOTALLY ok for you to take a break, I'm planning on taking one this summer now that I'm fully vaccinated and can actually DO stuff XD As for the boy thing, Imma let the others take over for that, as that is WAYY out of my realm of "expertise", if I even have one lol. I had noticed you hadn't been on a few days ago, and, like my paranoid brain usually does, it came up with about 10 reasons why you weren't on in like 5 seconds XD I'm almost in the exact situation with the "real world" stuff lol. I went to the grocery store that's literally 5 minute walk from my house for the FIRST TIME in over a YEAR. I gotta admit, schools with super strict dress codes irk me (why do I never use irk in my sentences, I NOW LOVE THAT WORD), it just seems pretty pointless, but I hope it goes well for you.
ANYWAYS, I gtg to class I'm already a tiny bit late lol, but I'm SO HAPPY YOUR BACK I MISSED YOU!!!!!!!
I understand! This sight can be addicting and when I first became active on it, I was having trouble being away from it. I think you know what is best for you and I am proud that you were able to admit it to yourself and that you were able to tell us. We all love you and always will. Whether you are on every hour of the day, or never show up again. We are a herd, and always will be.
As for the crush, I believe in you! Don't put it off too long especially if you can do something with it. (My parents are iffy about dating and such. No one knows what the right age to start is, XD) Also, there is something about crushes and love that brings a smile to my face.
Hey! I understand! I'm not going to be very active on here this summer either. Summer is when I can read. And as for the boy I'd ask him if he likes anyone or just go on up to him and say "I like you" and walk away. Not as scary as it sounds. I had to do that with my crush only told him over text cause I could never get him away from his friends. But it's hard, yes, but as my close friend told me (He is very close to me and he's like my brother to me) he said, "Even if it's scary, even it it's hard, you should tell your crush you like them. If you don't someone could get them or you'd regret never telling them." He had a crush on a girl in his school but moved to a different school and never told her, he still regrets it to this day. I had a crush on him but by the time I told him one of my other friends was his gf. It's hard but so much harder to deal with the regret. Your girl! ~!Sunlight!~
I understand that you need to go into the real world I find myself not on here a bit less. And I hope everyone one here can experience happyness in real life and experience it on here just less of it. But yeah XD that’s just my opoin. And for the crush and I’m also going to a different school and you’ll never endless you try right? And if he doesn’t feel the same way that’s ok! If he does great! But yeah this is a really long pargh for me XD
I understand but I’ll miss you in the raps and stuff . you should do what you think what’s best for you... we’ll miss you!
Hello! I am glad you are taking time to focus on the important spheres of your life. I certainly agree that the Herd can sometimes distract from real life, a lot of people use it as an escape but the truth is what you do in the real world defines you more than in the virtual world.
As for romantic advise, if you really feel for crush and plan on telling crush, you need to confess your feelings as soon as possible because you are running out of time! Do you want to look back on this in the future and regret it?
(BTW, I updated my profile from Peaseblossom to Aspidistra.)
