This story is a sequel to It All Comes Down To This

Starlight Glimmer will never forget the day she was forgiven. Not a day goes by when she doesn't remember what she did. Living in the Little Town, where she stripped ponies of their cutie marks for her own philosophy is something she constantly remembers. And though the ponies of her town have accepted her and are once again slowly getting along with her, there is always that feeling of guilt she feels.

The same can be said when she visits Twilight and the others at Ponyville. Not a day goes by where Twilight Sparkle smiles and welcomes her with open hooves. And Spike always so kind and accepting when she appears. But deep down Starlight can't help but feel guilty, doubtful, confused, and scared.

After everything she'd done. Seeing those worlds, seeing what her philosophy could do, knowing that other ponies were suffering after she had created multiple timelines, how could she go on with all that knowledge. How could she deal with the guilt?

A certain alicorn pops in for a visit, possibly holding the answer.
