Pinkie Pie never truly had a sound mind when it came to the subject of friends or family. Despite the mask she put on towards most, if not all ponies, she always felt a twinge of fear when it came to friends or family. After all, there was nothing stopping those around her from putting on a mask around her as well. What if they didn't much care for her ways to make other smile? What if everything she was doing was just an endless cycle of her trying to please others and them just putting on a face to spare her feelings? It had happened to her with her friend Rainbow Dash on the simple subject of Pies, and Celestia knows that her parents wished for her to follow in the family ways of the rock farm only for her to go her own way. What if they were just being nice and keeping their thoughts to themselves?

Despite this, she did her best to keep herself in high spirits around her friends. Maybe it was because she didn't want to face her fears and find out if they were true or not. Maybe she was doing it to spare herself? Celestia knows why she kept these feelings to herself, or as to why she let her guard down one day.

That one day had been around her friend Rarity, who had also been facing her own fears of self worth. With her mind constantly on those around her and what others had thought of not only her work but also herself, it was a wonder that they may have felt similar on the general topics of themselves.

Rarity had found herself constantly chasing the dream of finding a sound, handsome, and rich stallion to stay at her side. Changing herself to mold the way others may find her more appealing. It was a terrible loop she often fell into. It was as if she was trying to fill the mold of "the perfect mare" that she couldn't realize perfect wasn't something achievable? Nor was it something she'd want to face even if it were possible. Throughout the changes in her life, bickering with friends, boutiques to run, and challenges faced, Rarity couldn't help but realize what had truly made her happy. The support of her friends and ultimately just being herself. It sounded so trivial when said aloud, but put into work it was something much more complicated.

And with a new challenge put before her, that being her friend not yet realizing her own inner worth, Rarity couldn't push aside such a trying matter. Her friend had been in such a similar situation to her own. Though not entirely the same, It was enough for Rarity to realize just how harsh her friend's situation had been. One of her friends had worried of being her true self around others. What they may think of her, and even changing parts of herself to make others happy. This wasn't the Pinkie she knew. This wasn't the same friend that had supported her through all her lows and cheered with her in all her highs. And it most certainly wasn't the same Pinkie she wanted to see in the future. The true Pinkie, that is.

With a brief moment of silence, and a somber hug, Rarity would support the same friend that had done so for her oh so many times before. And hopefully, slowly and surely, Pinkie would come to realize the same importance in self love she wished to see in others, and apply it to herself.



Happy Milestone y'all!! Thank you all so much for the support as of late!


I thought i'd shed a light on something that's a bit more closer to home this milestone. Coming to accept support of those around you and those who are closest to you. I've always struggled with the worry of others not truly liking the more outgoing personality that i have IRL, and even online with some of the stupid shit i say. It's also something that ive also heard many of people talk about online and in person. Even when you're not worried about what others think of you, there's always that twinge in the back of your mind wondering if your friends truly accept you for you. At least, that's sometimes how i feel about certain situations.

Though, i thought i'd give the situation a bit of a lighter ending. Sometimes it's hard to truly accept your anxieties and worries and accept help from others, but ultimately it's a slow process to come to peace with. I hope that everyone out there knows that they do have a rarity in their life that's willing to help, or sometimes there's a Pinkie out their that needs your help from time to time. It doesn't hurt to reach out a hand to that person and help them or receive help from others. I hope y'all are staying safe out there and helping those who may need it <3
