If time could be turned back, Celestia would change just one thing. The biggest mistake she has ever made. If she hadn't been so blind then she could have fixed it before it was too late. Except now, she must live with what she has done. She must wait a thousand years for her shift to begin anew.
This story was requested by HudsonHawk. He gave me the title but not the actual plot of the story.
That was lovely. That was just freaking lovely. Nice droppage of the title there, as well.
This was so beautiful. It shows a different, deeper side of Celestia we don't get to see, Wonderful job. Liked and favorited.
5572578 If you look carefully, most of my stories drop the title...
5572974 Thanks...
Once again you do not fail to deliver beauty...
5573185 Heh, thanks...
I don't even know what to say; it's so pretty, so emotive, that I feel it's pointless trying to describe how it affected me with mere words.
5575024 Uh.....it really wasn't that good...
5575031
It was to me.
5575039 Alright....
5575042
Stop being so hard on yourself.
5575046 I...I can't...
5575049
Of course you can. Just keep telling yourself, "I'm super-awesome and people love my stories!"
5575165 The first half of that is a lie....
5575165
It does not work like that.
not in this case
5575201 Huh?
That is an interesting perspective your story offers.
5575234 Alright...

He seems to have expected to change such a fundamental belief with a line of text.
Strong will has shown to be ineffective against mental illness.
Many disorders have the effect of severely reducing the will of a person, along with enhancing the feelings of guilt.
5575252 Oh...yeah, I can see that they do...
5575201
As a long-term sufferer of mental illness, I'm fully aware of that fact. I'm sure you're well-meaning with what you said, but ultimately we all need to keep positive attitudes if we're hoping to overcome our respective afflictions.
Oooh, I liked this. You should write more poem stories.
5575327 Really? You think writing it like a poem was a good idea?
5575301
correction:
Strong will alone has shown to be ineffective against mental illness.
Keeping that attitude is the difficult thing about it.
Disorders often take a metaphorical rusty butter knife, and cut your good attitude out of you, in thin, bloody slices, one at a time.
I wish you good luck in overcoming your illness.
5575331 Yup! It was super cool! I could never write so many words as a poem. I only managed sixty three for my story.
5575351 Once I got started it was a lot easier to write than a normal story...
5575352 Then you should definitely do it more often!
5575400 We'll see...
5575953 Oki-dokes.
