// Story: Starswirl's Journal 
// by AlesFlamas 
//------------------------------//

I'm not the stallion I was over a year ago. This journal is no longer representative of who I am. The words written within are the words of one unwise to the ways of the world. That's not who I am anymore. I'm keeping the journal of course, but strictly for the sake of posterity. There is much that lay in front of me: fillies to raise, a kingdom to keep track of, Tribes to keep out of war. Such events would be unfit to write within this, the journal of a naive and unlearned colt. With this final entry, I say farewell to the Starswirl I was, and open the door to a new phase of my life. What exactly lay behind this door, I cannot be sure. But I will face it head on, with vigor and valiance, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (a quaint Earth pony saying which Joshua taught me.) With this, I close my journal for the last time.

With this, I say farewell to the self, and truly begin my walk on the path of life.
