//------------------------------// // I Can Be a Lavender Rose // Story: Lament of Purpose // by SolongStarbird //------------------------------// Fluttershy's counsel never disappoints. She is the kindest, and the wisest, a truly irreplaceable friend. What she had to say is all the help I may ever need again. Her wisdom: Discord, things are constantly changing. God of Chaos means something different today than it did yesterday. You may always be the God of Chaos, but that doesn't mean you have to be chaotic. You can be anything you wish to be, and let your actions speak louder than any title or false reputation can. Your deeds should control what you are called, not the other way around. You are the God of Chaos, but the way I see it is that you are called that because of what you can do, not because of what you actually do. I'm proud of you Discord. I haven't had to deal with any situation like this, but I can tell that it is a very difficult situation. Remember that I will always be here to help you. The more I think about it, the more it sinks in and connects to everything. She is right. I should view my title as a reference to my abilities rather than my intentions, which have changed. I don't really have any obligations, do I? Just because I am a god of sorts, doesn't mean I can't change like everypony else. I have changed quite a bit already, and beneath the layers of it all, I am truly happy with that change. It is all a frame of mind, isn't it? Thank you, Fluttershy. You are truly the best friend that anyone could ever have.
