From a cider-loving mother to an abusive sister to a workaholic father who could care less about the household he pays for, it turns out the element of kindness wasn't treated quite as kindly as you'd like to think.
But days go by and the trials of the past are forgotten until something pulls them from the deep recesses of your mind. Once unearthed, it's not hard to remember why they were forgotten.

Fixed. Heavily. Like, "I edited the whole thing" fixed.
Very good, and well written so far. I'm assuming that whatever editing you did before made it all that much better.
I will be adding this to my watch list for sure. I feel though that it did jump from morning to evening again rather quickly. But for how it was written and the flow of the story, it still works very well, and I'm very excited to see the next chapter of this.

Thank you for commenting! I'm very excited as well, and the second chapter is in drafting stages. If I may ask a quick question, I'm heavily debating whether to continue the diary with actual diary entries or narratives, or perhaps simply a diary entry that melts off into a narrative. I'm a mess and can't seem to make up my mind XD

If I were writing it, I'd kind of flip it back and forth. Have Fluttershy be reading the diary as she wrote it all those years ago, you could even write that part of it in a diary format, letting the reading of it be immersive (and somewhat narrative). But be sure to return every so often to the fact that Flutters is sitting and reading on her bed or whatever else happens in between readings, as I'm assuming she's not going to read it all in one go. Keep it grounded, so that we can see/feel her reactions to things while she's reading it instead of lumping how she felt about it after the entry is read. You could also do it the other way as well and have it work wonderfully, but it's up to you.

Great!
Love it!

I'm just going to see how it comes out when I'm happy with it. Tell me if you have any other suggestions though. They are greatly appreciated.
You mean I have to wait until the next chapter?! Liked, faved, and commented. I am keeping an eye on this.

Why thanks for the favorite! I'm quite excited to write the second chapter myself. Be warned, however, that I'll most likely edit it after its released, so be prepared for a reread. Some days are better than others XD
I see how you're going to proceed with this story, and I approve.
I always envisioned that Fluttershy had a scarred past. She strikes me as someone who was abused as a filly.

Well I'm glad you approve! I always thought she'd been abused to, but i'm surprised that I motivated myself enough to write a Flutterfic. She is not my best pony by a long shot. My first fic was supposed to be TwiDash! Nooo!
After "Tanks For The Memories", I don't think Fluttershy was the only one who was abused. Well, maybe not abused, but Rainbow was possibly neglected, pretty much forced to make her own way in the world. The only way to survive, she learned, was to stick to your guns and don't take any crap from anyone. This, however, left her with abandonment issues, and being a runaway, her education is...lacking.

I'm thinking less "abused" and more "My mom ran out on my dad once I was born and now I feel like I was the reason." Single dads have a lot of things to do to raise their child and keep a somewhat functioning household working and prospering. This is my theory anyway. Perhaps it's close?
