I Felt, Therefore I Was

The Journal of Twilight Sparkle – 24th February 1008

Times have changed.

When I consider what life was like three months ago compared to now, the changes stand out as clear as day. No-longer do I focus myself for days at a time in my laboratory, nor do I go full nights and days without sleep.

All of it is for her.

It is perhaps the greatest change… After that night… she started appearing for random sleepovers, not trusting me to keep my promise. Now she lives here. The library feels more alive and I feel happy with her here. I can live happily like this and I suppose we will now.

However, it does make this project incredibly dangerous for me. I do not think she ever quite believed that I gave up all hope entirely. She’d catch me on the odd occasion staring into nothing, considering another calculation… another combination…

During the time that I last wrote, I have only managed to steal one moment of peace and privacy. I was able to do little more than cement my previous notes in my knowledge again, putting me back to where I was two months ago.

It is enough for now and I remain confident that I will complete this spell. Once I have done that, only then can I truly forget about it.

I do hope I never have to explain this to her.
