All my life I've been picked on by bullies and I used to think that bullies were only abusive because they had been abused themselves. But now I realize that some ponies are just cruel and deserve to be punished.
I don't want to just accept the bad life I've been handed. From now on if I want something I'm going to take it. I don't want to go to clown school or end up as some lonely middle-aged elementary school teacher, unfulfilled and wondering how I let my life get this way.
I'm not some Christmas special martyr here to make you feel better about yourselves.
So my thread is symbolic of my complex feelings.
