Letter #24 - Honesty


"Dear Mom.

It's been two days since I wrote a letter to you. I've been wondering how you've been holding up lately, since I received your letter about that man you started dating in Canterbury who works at the gallery. I've heard a lot of great things about him before you started dating him, my friend, Rarity said that she once made a pair of swimming shorts for him and he paid her a really big amount of bits. And the fact that my other friend, Rainbow Dash said she used to have a poster of him when he used to be in the Wolderbolts band, isn't that swell, save for the fact that her poster of him was a nude one.

Anyways, me and Spike have been starting to get along together a little more with the help of Mrs. Cake, another mother who lives in town who has been trying to help me look after him. I'm very thankful for her help. Spike and I have been on a picnic together yesterday and we grew so close and we learned so much about each other.

But I'm sure you don't want to hear about Spike.

There is something that I've been meaning to tell you for a very long time, ever since we started sending letters to each other in fact, hope you aren't annoyed by this at all but I need to get this off my chest before anything else starts to happen.

I'm honestly disappointed in you. I just want to get this off my chest before this anger stays inside me and I can't afford to let that happen any more. You're a bad person and I've just realized that, your own daughter thinks you are a horrible, selfish, crazy lady. I personally think that, yes, and I am not going to say sorry.

I've spent time away from my friends to wrap my head around this situation and the fact that Shining Armour has never sent you a letter or gotten involved in what's going on. And you know what? I don't blame him. He saw right through you faster than I could, he always had a way of seeing things before they could happen and I don't blame him at all for staying away from us, especially you.

When I look after Spike, the worry comes to mind whether he grows up thinking that I'm either his mommy or his sister and I'm going to let that slide, because I don't think that such a bad person like you should even have the title of mother for a good boy like Spike. I've felt miserable about the whole thing, countless hours of sleep and energy have been lost because I have had to calm down a scared little boy, and now I'm getting to the point where he is starting to trust me.

My personal health was at risk because of what you created, but at the same time I can't damn you for what you've done or else I wouldn't of had the chance to look after the most beautiful baby boy in the entire world. I'm going to try my best and raise him as whatever he wants to be, him wasting his life over something stupid like what you have done isn't worth it all.

I'm going to stop now. But I'm going to put this down and this will be my final letter to you.

You will never hear from me or Spike again, that is a sacrifice I am willing to take to make sure that his life, HIS LIFE, is worth living for.

- Your daughter, Twilight Sparkle."
