Dear K.P.
The "Fame & Misfortune" episode hit me very close to home too, Applejack's reaction, "I've become popular, and I don't like it" (but more like, "I'm not sure what to make of it" with me in 2007). The harassing trolls made me feel like Rarity's depression for a long while, plus they had taken advantage of my kindness, being naive, and hospility (up to a point). And, like Fluttershy, I was constantly feeling compelled to defend myself of the mislabelings, and the "content" I did that I'm not proud of, but I won't deny having done them now. Like the awesome song, We all are not flawless; dents & quirks alike or not, our flaws are part of who we are, and how we work. And I am tolerant and open-hearted to others' flaws. And, at the end of the day, We, each, are in control of how the criticisms and harassment affect or Not affect us. We also can take our time to learn how to better cope, and how to adjust for ourselves
