Short Hand: Immortality and Romance

Twilight: "Shining... You know... One day, you will... I mean, Cadence is... Is immortal. And you're-"

Shining: "I know. I'm not. I'm fully aware of it."

Twilight: "Then... Then how do you-?"

Shining: "By cherishing every moment with her. And living to make our life together have meaning, and love."

Twilight: "But when you die... I... I don't know if I will ever be able to handle that. Watching you all go somewhere I can't. How... How will everything not remind me of what I have lost?"

Shining: Hugs her "By remembering and cherishing what you do have. And who knows? You may not be as immortal as you think. One day... We will see eachother again. And you will see Shepherd. So don't deny yourself joy, just because you might get hurt in the future."

Twilight at last speaks with Celestia on the matter of immortality.

Twilight: "Princess Celestia... I just... You... Have you ever been in love before?"

Celestia: "Why yes, Twilight. As a matter of fact, I have. Many times in the past."

Twilight: "Really? So... How did you handle it?"

Celestia: "It depended on the situation, really. Some times I... Indulged my feelings. Other times it wouldn't have been appropriate. But I imagine you're asking for a more pertinent reason?"

Twilight: "It's just... I talked to Shining Armor. About his mortality. And-And when it comes to Shepherd, I..."

Celestia: "Oh, my dear Twilight."

Celestia hugs Twilight to her with her wing.

Celestia: "It will not be easy. But if you shut yourself off to love entirely, your heart will grow cold, and lonely. I know that, when I fall in love, I will outlive my mortal partner. But you must embrace passion where you find it! Love is precious and wonderful, if you nurture it. Because even when your partner dies, they left an impact on you. You are forever changed-For the better, if you love someone who returns that feeling as passionately as you do."

Twilight: "Does the loss ever stop hurting?"

Celestia: "... No. But neither does it control how I live. That pain means you still feel. And while it hurts... It lets you grow wiser about how to handle love in the future."

Twilight: "I... Thank you, Princess Celestia. I... Wait. You said mortal partners. Have you then had... Immortal partners?"

Celestia heaves a very, very long sigh.

Celestia: "... Yes. Yes I have."

Discord pops in, with roses and chocolates.

Discord: "CELLLYYYYY~! I'm here for... Oh. Awkward."

Twilight: "Wait... You and... Discord?!"

Celestia: "We... Dated in my youth. A long time ago."

Discord: "A very, very long time ago! But she ain't gettin' no younger, so I pop over for a booty call every once in a while-!"

Celestia blasts Discord with a solar bolt. Discord sits up, smoking and coughing ash.

Discord: "Looks like I'm gonna need a safe word tonight~!"

Twilight: "... Excuse me, Princess, I need to go be sick in the bathroom for a while."

Celestia: nods "I completely understand."

Just remember Twilight. What has Been Seen & Heard CAN'T be Unseen or Unheard!

I had Cadance tell Spike something very similar in my story when he was fretting over his long life span.

“How... how do you manage?" Spike asked. "How do you enjoy the moment when you know this terrible tragedy is looming?”

Cadance smiled at him, not the sad smile from before, but a genuine, warm smile, the kind that had soothed his nightmares and comforted him back to sleep all those years ago. “Simple. You don’t think about it.”

“Buh?”

“Spike, some ponies think that time is always against us, that we’re... we’re constantly fighting the clock, but that’s not true. Time is always on our side, so long as we make the effort.” She looked up at the sky. “Like we said, our loved ones will not be here forever, so we must make the memories we have of them the best we can. In the end, memories are all that we have, all that remain.”
