Dear journal, today I broke my hoof working in the quarry when I fell off a ledge. That's about the fifth time I've ever done that while working. Now, I can't work at all. At least it gives me more time to write my thoughts and feelings. I'm still upset about Big Mac and Sugar Belle's engagement. I can't help but think 'that should have been me'. Ya know? What's worse is that he asked me and my sisters to be bridesmaids in the wedding? What a nerve? Doesn't he know that just rubs salt in the wound? I know he didn't mean to hurt my feelings or make me feel bad, but it hurts my feelings nonetheless. Pinkie and Applejack tell me things I should do to take my mind off of all of it, but none of their advice helps. It honestly just makes things worse. I've tried venting through rock carving, crystal carving, geode mining, helping mother and Limestone make the geode necklaces, but none of it helps. I don't know if I'll ever be able to move on. I honestly don't. I don't know if I can move on. It honestly seems possible right now. I've tried to share my feelings, but my fears get the better of me and I don't dare break my silence to say what I need to say. Sometimes being the quiet one can be a curse because it makes it harder to express how I feel.

Marble then puts away her journal under her bed and falls asleep. All that venting into her journal tired her out and since she can't do her normal walk because of her broken hoof, she feels that she has nothing better to do. Besides, she honestly could use the rest.
