Dear Princess Twilight,

My life is confusing right now. In my previous letter, I explained to you an enemy. But it turns out she was a friend all along. Those who I believed would stick by my side did not. When everyone turned their back on me, it was my enemy who was there for me. I figured out that it isn't up to other people to decide how I think. I realized that by listening and believing all of the gossip about her and by being too judgemental myself, I was starting to believe things I knew were not true. One lesson I've learned is that gossip can hurt. It is most likely all lies made up by someone who simply doesn't like a certain pony. 

Another lesson I've learned is about what your friends are. Your friends shouldn't be random people they meet. Your friends should be people who you've spoken with. Who you agree with but also disagree with on a lot of things. Friends should be ponies that you can rely on but also some pony who can rely on you. A friend doesn't turn their back on you for on e little mistake. They don't judge you for being friends with a pony they don't like, nor do they torment you for being who you are. I've learned that a true friend is some pony who will love, listen, learn, and be there.

The ponies who I thought were my true friends turned their back on me simply because I spoke to the pony I said I didn't like. I realized that they didn't appreciate me for who I was. They kept telling me that "we don't want you to get hurt" and "we don't trust her." I realize now that they were just trying to kelp me on their side. What do I say?

Screw it.

This is my life and my decision. If I get hurt, then let me deal with it. If I'm happy, let me be happy. 

Truthfully and sincerely,
Your faithful daughter Midnight
