This was sad.

Dash’s friends held her hoof.

Are these her dead friends, welcoming her?

Good catch! I left it up in the air on purpose. You can think of it as her dead friends welcoming her, or what few living friends she has left physically holding onto her hoof as she passes.

Oof, that's sad, even for someone even for someone who thinks that Dash's life was not one worth regretting all that much.

We all fear dying alone, but at least Rainbow still had all friends with her when she passed. And to welcome her in death.

Forgotten really was the best way to describe it. As a young adult, every bit of Dash’s mind was directed to becoming a Wonerbolt.

You know, I never really thought about this. The whole thing about Dash not wanting to find love...

I've been attempting clever to say here, but I can't. This whole story made me... depressed. It truly did.
The entire time I was, like, waiting for something terrible to happen, but, thankfully, it never came.
The only thing that was there, was depressing silence. A desire that will never be fulfilled.

And through all of that, I see something; a lesson.

The lesson?
Always make time for what you want most, no matter how silly, or far away it may seem.
Because, before you know it, life will pass you by, leaving you in the dust.

Amazing story,
10/10
