The diary of Murky Waters

Everything was great. Just great. But now, everything has fallen apart. All because I don't have a cutie mark. Sure, I am  amazing at disco dancing, but somehow it just isn't my destiny. I was the most popular stallion in the world, but now mothers turn their children away when I walk past. All because of stupid prejudice. Isn't it the job of school bullies to call you a "blank flank" and make fun of you? I am broken inside. I had finally decided to tell the truth, to bravely tell the world that disco dancing is not my destiny. And now, I have nothing. Just the cloak on my back. Robbers broke into my vault yesterday and stole every last bit of my money. How the robbers got in, I have no idea, but I'm guessing that it has something to do with the fact that my caretaker is an ex-con. My life has taken a turn for the worse, all because I told the truth.
