Dear Babs

Dear Babs,

I know our start to our friendship was... rocky at best. I had convinced you to turn your back on your own family in stress to fit in. I still have nightmares about terrorizing the trio endlessly. It was the most cruel thing I had ever done in my entire life and I had pouted- pouted- when you turned your back on me to show support for your cousin and apologize. I was so terrible to even start such a thing. And I truly have no idea why I wanted to be so downright evil. The only thing I do know is that I never want that to be how we leave off our lives.
You were so different, so interesting. And for some reason, I was jealous. I mean, you had a huge and loving family and a cousin who was so willing to put up with your strange accent and behavior just to get to know you and make sure you felt comfortable here. All my cousins merely terrorized me for being the youngest.
I know we aren't really friends but I still hope you'll forgive me for all the pain I caused. I hear you're moving back to Manehatten soon to start an international branch for bullied fillies and colts to help them get past bullies. As a former bully, I would like to offer my hoof and help out however I can. I think hearing from me will give them hope that not all bullies are heartless.
Thank you so much for deciding to come back to Ponyville. It's been great getting to know you!

Best wishes!

Diamond Tiara
