Dear Fluttershy,

This year, I learned about your kindness.
Your compassion is an important part of me and the rest of us alike. I really am thankful for you.
I remember the first time I met you, you were incredibly shy of me, as I was new and I probably forced you to speak (sorry about that, by the way). *laugh* And then, when you saw Spike, you perked up so much!
Now that I know you better, I look back at how wrong I was before with by judgmental assumptions thinking you were such a doormat.
……
Sorry, Fluttershy, you kind of still are. . . . But, don't get me wrong! It's a great quality of yours! You're very forgiving. But I understand your difficulties in socializing. I was once like that too, before I met you too.
I hope you boost your self confidence this year (you have a lot to be confident in). Happy New Year!
I love you.

Your friend,
Twilight
