I don't think I ever actually told the story.

Well, maybe y'all remember Jonathon; my old room mate/boyfriend.

He and I had land in southeastern Louisiana, town of Walker, Livingston parish.

Through my rise in popularity in the Brony fandom I was invited to a convention in Columbus Ohio (Trotcon; I will be there again next month BTW) where I made a now very good friend y'all have never met. His name is Brian but we call him Discord.

In 2013 Brian moved in with Jon and I. Between the three of us we were living pretty well but Jon was definitely the financial anchor. I'm a lazy artist/aspiring homemaker and Brian worked at a Starbucks. Jon on the other hand had a cubicle jockey job in Baton Rouge.

Well, later down the road my sister had a rough break up with her boyfriend and so Brian and I went to Alabama to get her. She moved into our living room.

About three weeks later my sister and I just finished an all night marathon of The Walking Dead. It was around 6 AM and we decided to hit the sack.

6:34 am at the door; BAM BAM BAM!

I think to myself "must be Jehova's witnesses or something" and ignore it.

Then the knock got louder and I heard a voice yell "OPEN UP OR WE'LL KNOCK THE DOOR DOWN!"

I thought, "Well the church is getting aggressive aren't they?"

Brian had just left for work, and I didn't know if Jonathon was home. My sister and I are half awake and there at the door... 20 some police officers and investigators.

As soon as I opened the door they yelled at us to sit on the couch and stormed in. We had no idea what the heck was going on but my sister and I thought maybe Brian was a serial killer or something.

Eventually the problem was revealed: They had detected somebody downloading child porn at our home.

My first thought was something I cannot post here; but it wasn't a happy string of words.

The police seemed to be certain it was me. They kept grilling me and pointing at my MLP stuff and stuffed animals and trying to get me to confess to a crime I never committed.

They went through my computer and it was clean. To which I was like, "Yeah it's clean! I don't do that crap."

Unfortunately it was Jonathon's computer. He had been caught in a digital sting downloading CP on his personal machine and phone.

Needless to say he was arrested. Well without him we couldn't afford to live there.

So Brian, my sister and I moved to upstate NY.

That's how I ended up back in the hills.

It was a terrible situation and it only got worse from there.

Brian and I ended up with my brother and he and his wife treated us like utter garbage so I was forced back into my parent's home and he had to go back to Ohio.

My parent's place was a full on hillbilly shack on a hill out in the sticks. No internet. No phone. No anything.

Yay, Appalachia.

Well soon after that my parents separated (long story) and then my grandfather sold the land out from under us with no warning.

Over the course of 2014 I lost my entire life and history. Obviously there are paragraphs of nuance I haven't typed out, but trust me, suicide was on my mind a lot through that year.

I live in an apartment with my mother and her boyfriend for now. Still trying to pick up the pieces. Brian and my sister are struggling too. It all fell apart and never came back together.

Honestly I have no idea what to do with my life. What I thought I had came crumbling down so hard it broke the cellar floor too.

I hope to one day look back at some period of my life and go, "Those times were truly good".

On the plus side I am back in greater Appalachia were I was born. Flat land makes me twitch. Sadly, it's not how I had envisioned my return. haha

So there you go. A condensed version of my current life.

Sorry to hear about this, Cookie. I hope things get better for y'all.

This really makes a point to know who you live with and their 'habits' online.

I hope you can get things turned around, Cookie. You're not junk.
