Journey Home

“Rambling on and on and on...”

I suppose that many things are important in life. But I think, and have always thought, that the journey is often more important than the destination. After all, what’s the point of going somewhere if you’re going to spend an hour and a half walking in circles to get there?

I can attest that, during most of my life up to the point where I really became who I am now, laziness had been my key ideology. I had made everything in my life streamlined, because it took the least effort possible. It had taken literally everything I had known being shown in a completely different light to make that change.

You could probably say that I’m rambling now, and you might actually even be saying that, I can’t really tell. If there is someone out there, my shoulder itches every few minutes, and could you take care of that? Thanks.

Where was I? Oh, right, my laziness.

I was lost in a world whose inhabitants largely hated me, because I was a bipedal monkey-relative with a proclivity for tools and causing trouble. I could honestly say more than half of the planet’s inhabitants hated me, without even knowing that I existed, simply because of me being me. I didn’t even know about that until I had finished rescuing the first being I had met in this new world freaked out because she thought I was going to rape, kill, torture or eat her, or some combination thereof, simply because I was human.

It took nearly two and a half, almost three years to learn exactly how bad this world I had found myself in truly was.

After my sojourn to Equestria, I was treated to another two, three months of travel through the massive river valley to fulfill the oath I had made to Simile. And with Colgate, the journey would be a much brighter one than the one that had lead me to the land of Ponies and happiness, and I would be glad ever after that we had found that portal.

But as my momma, always the intelligent, wonderful person she was, said so long ago when I saw her;

Show, Don’t tell.

I miss you, momma. I miss my whole family.

I wish I could say good-bye.
