and hits you.

Harder than a bag of flour.

Harder than a rock.

Harder than the most powerful spell blasted at you.

I miss those.

Especially the snow.

When I was a filly,

I would dance in it.

It was so quiet.

I felt like everything was right in the world.

Twilight where are you?

I need you.

Please.

I’m falling,

Falling,

Falling down the rabbit hole.

Am I strong?

Am I worthy?

Am I kind?

Am I caring?

Am I loving?

I must be.

Celestia isn’t stupid.

Celestia would not have given me this honor.

Celestia would not have cried with joy when I came back.

Celestia loves me.

Twilight loves me.

Luna loves me.

Cadance love me.

Pinkie Pie loves me.

Rarity loves me.

Rainbow Dash loves me.

Applejack loves me.

Fluttershy loves me.

And I love them.

I love them all.

More than life itself.

Am I ready for this?

Yes.

I am ready.

I close my eyes.

I’m standing outside the grand hall in Canerlot.

Voices come from behind these closed doors.

The doors open,

I stand tall.

Everypony turns to look at me.

I am strong.

I am caring.

I am loved.

I am loving.

My soul isn’t broken anymore.

My heart isn’t broken anymore.

I may have fallen from grace,

but no more.

I am a princess.

I am Sunset Shimmer.

And I am the Princess of Forgiveness and empathy.
