Who I Used To Be

Regrets (Suri Speaks)

"Everypony for herself! Everypony for herself! Everypony for herself!" It seemed to have become my motto, I took it as a truth, as a rule in life, and that only led to my regrets. I didn't have them until I realized that I was cruel to Rarity and Coco. Not only did I hurt them, but I hurt myself. Moving to Ponyville, away from Hoofington, away from Coco, is a nothing compared to what I have gotten myself into. At first, I blamed it on Manehattan and it's hoofprints that it leaves on everypony. After my breakdown, I realized that I'm the one to blame. After all, I became greedy, I became blind, I became cruel, and the only pony to blame that on is me.

Coco doesn't deserve to be friends with somepony as selfish as I am. I hope she's made some better friends, wherever she is now, and I hope she has a job she enjoys. If she doesn't, I hope she at least thinks it's better than working with a cruel pony like me. I want to apologize to Rarity, but I'm not sure she'd want to see me after my taunts, my theft, my trickery, and same for Coco. But I can't be upset forever. The whole mess is my fault, and I need to be strong, I need to get over it and start a new life. Maybe open up a shop, where everything is original, never stolen things. Perhaps make a few friends who I'll treat nicer than Coco. I'll just need to start over. Although I'll never forget, I can move on. Maybe that way those who I hurt can live on without being hurt again.
