"I was so scared. So, on that day, I decided. I'll refuse to have friends. I'll refuse to fall in love. I'll spend my days alone, as a monster as myself should. I AM a monster. ...Right?"

This was something I was inspired to write after reading the new It Gets Better novel.
For those of you who don't know what It Gets Better is, it's basically an organization that helps LGBT youth to see how life will get better for them, even if they're in a tough situation at the moment. If you'd like, check out the website shown above in the cover image.
And much thanks to Sir Cyrus for offering to be my editor and looking this over before it was submitted. You're totally awesome!
So, enjoy!
It's weird how I aways tap/click on stories but don't read'em
You know, I rather liked that! I wasn't expecting to; the lack of real coverart, the one thumb-down, and the fact that I don't really support the It Gets Better Project...
Very sweet! Thumbed up.
It took me a moment to remember what the cover image was for, I fully support people like that.
Now to read the story
Edit:
Finished reading it, was quite enjoyable and gave me a warm feeling inside.
now if only I could admit things like this to myself…
Well written with a good message.

Maybe a bit short. Definitely sweet enough, though.
then a ninja jumps out and throws a bean burito at twilight, it impales itsself onto her horn, getting beans cheese and hot sauce all over her face, the ninja procededs to yell " WASABII!!!" whilst thrusting his hips at her
but in all srsness i liked good one shot
“Oh, Twilight. I'm so happy you were able to tell me.”
Hmm...
a beautiful story with a beautiful message
This was a very courageous and sweet thing for you to write. Not only is it well written and a good story, but the heart behind it is so wonderful that it wouldn't matter if it was written badly or not; your kindhearted intentions for this shone through and through. Thank you for contributing such a thoughtful piece of open-minded, warm-hearted literature here. It is so simple, so precise, and yet one of the most (if not the most) profound things I've ever read here.
I love it. But I have to admit, I pulled back for a moment when Twilight shared that Rainbow was bisexual. Not because she was bi, but because she just outed Rainbow to the ruler of Equestria. Which is something Rainbow Dash should have done on her own. It wasn't exactly Twilight's place to say that.
I know I'm being picky but it really made me pause for a moment. Other than that one part, I absolutely love it. (And I really don't even mind that part. We all know Dash is pretty proud of who she is, all around.) And I think you nailed their reactions, as well. Great story.
1559768 I can (for the most part) understand not liking LGBT things, but I don't really see a good reason to dislike the It Gets Better Project.
1559822 Agreed.
1560081 I pulled back a little because it's so obvious, "Which of the mane 6 should be bi? I know, the tomboy with the rainbow-colored mane and tail!"
Interesting, to say the least. Mechanically, it's well-written. It also reads like a letter from Twilight Sparkle, if that makes sense. For the message it gives, how it gives it, and how well you've written it, I give this piece Five Shattered Skulls Out of Five.

Slip of the tongue (quill), perhaps? Twilight's confirmed to have done that before.

I suppose I should explain myself, lest people think I'm some sort of homophobe...
Maybe It Gets Better has changed since it first started, but as far as I know, it's a program that tells LGBTQ youths that at some point people will stop bullying them. Am I right?
I've always felt that IGB is just a lazy way to avoid dealing with the problem of bullying. How is a person on the Internet telling you that, at some intangible point in the future, things will be better supposed to stop the person beating you up for being a "faggot" today? We should be putting more pressure on these bullies, rather than just taking it, and treating the bullying like it's normal.
Meh, I'm not on FIMFiction to debate politics. It was a good story.
1560037 Thank you! It's the comments like these that really mean a lot.
1560081 I had a few reasons for having Twilight include that in her letter. The biggest reason is to show that she learned that there are other ponies out there (who, while may not nessecerily share the same sexuality as her), who aren't 100% straight. For the first time, she learned that she wasn't completely alone in that field.
Another reason is, who would Celestia share this information with? And I'm sure she's smart enough to understand that this letter from her student is more personal than others.
I'm glad you liked it, though.
1561510 This is just me, but as far as I know all of the "It Gets Better" videos and things I've seen have emphasized that bullying is not normal and that it's wrong. I think the point is more that there are people who are more accepting and won't discriminate based on orientation (or, really, based on anything at all, but that's how I perceive it). Again, I haven't seen all of their work, so I can't say for sure entirely what they do or don't recommend as far as dealing with bullies; I've found it's less about the group itself, and more about whoever is telling their story. I may be heterosexual myself, but I still sympathize with anyone who's had the courage to tell their story through "It Gets Better" and try to help others who are experiencing similar hardships. I have been bullied and judged for all my life, and hearing their stories and how I can identify with just that particular aspect of it helps me feel encouraged and relieved.

Huh. Maybe it's changed since I first saw it.
1560081
The feeling I got, and this wasn't made clear in the story so I could be wrong, is that Dash came out publicly. You would think that Twilight might have a bit more discretion.
1561514 Good point. Regardless, it's an awesome story!
*have an upvote*
whoever down voted this has got to be some kinda jerk it had a beautiful message.
Aw, that's sweet. :3 Wish my friends were as accepting.
