It's been two weeks since I wrote in here last.
I'm doing alright, thanks for asking.
It's silly. All this while I've been writing in this book as if it were another Pony I was talking to. But in the end, I was just talking to myself, wasn't I?
So here's something I want to say to myself.
I'm sorry.
But I forgive you, too.
Luna's forgiven me already, but the last step was for me to forgive myself. It was a mistake, and mistakes happen. Not even I, Princess Celestia, Ruler of Equestria is immune to such.
But I think I can laugh again.
I can enjoy life again.
Luna is by my side, where she rightfully belongs. Together we will rule this kingdom once again, and make it even better than it ever was before.
Luna says she's enjoying her newfound youth, thanks to me, and she may or may not take a bit of a break before rejoining me. That's fine. We have all the time in the world, and I think she deserves to take a break.
I've taught her how to play Hide the Radish, and she loves it tremendously.
In the meantime, I've found my hearts belong to the six Ponies in Ponyville. I've come to love them dearly, although I wouldn't allow that into my heart earlier on.
Twilight Sparkle will always be my protégé, and I'm sure she will grow up to be a fantastic and fine leader of Ponies, but maybe she can take her time and enjoy life while she's young.
As for these letters, and this dairy?
I think it's finally over, isn't it?
They've served their purpose.
There's no reason for me to give them to Twilight Sparkle any longer.
I bury my face in a book, hoping to let others learn from my words, but the one who learnt the most was myself.
Oh, irony! How I love thee.
I have a long road ahead of me, it's true. It doesn't end here. What I now know, what has been revealed to me, even 2 weeks is barely enough time to get started with making good with it all.
Letting what happened go, and learning not to mix Pinkie Pie with phantoms of the past; dealing with history and what I've done; all these, a path that I no longer have to burden by myself.
I think it's time to put this book on the shelf once and for all.
Although it's like I'm finally seeing off a close, dear friend, I have found new life in the friendship of my sister and six special little girls from a small town in Equestria.
And so for the last time:
Dear Diary,
Thank you for being here for me whenever I needed you.
You've seen me through good times and bad, and you were always there to listen whenever I had something to say.
Even though I have found others to share my life with, it does not mean that I don't treasure the time we had together, as I treasure every Pony who enters my life.
Even though people come and go, all of us are connected together in this wonderful magic known as friendship.
And so I bid you goodbye.
Thank you for everything, and for freeing me from discord.
Yours,
Princess Celestia.
Good bye!
