Dear Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, friendship is magic as you say. It defines our character and keeps us happy (and sometimes sane). Friends should last for as long as possible. My first real friend was my brother, who happened to be a dog. Yes, I consider pets that have been in my life since I was born to be siblings. Time passes and you know yourselves that nothing is eternal (except you two) and that while I was still full of life, he was old and his time approached. He passed on and I never would have guessed the day it would happen. I wish I had known so I could have at least said a more proper goodbye. A goodbye not for my day at school, but a goodbye from this world. Now, no one can go through life with only ONE friend, I made others. My classmates are the best ever, like brothers to me. I don’t know what I would do without being able to interact (and torment) each other. But, since life always throws curveballs, I will soon find out. Almost all my friends are going to one school. Me? The exact opposite. It’s not like I won’t communicate with them outside of school, but…there is one thing that has me terrified. One of my best friends, in a very closely-knit circle of friends, and I have been growing distant. He’s not growing distant from me, I’m growing distant from him. This is a friend that has been around almost my entire life of school. We did so many fun stuff together with each other and other friends. Now, it’s like I just want to get away from him. Maybe it’s the innocence of childhood finally wearing off, or maybe I’m just growing cynical, but this really frightens me. This is a true friend, and I’m trying to avoid him. this isn’t how friendship is supposed to be. I’m leaving my friends from daily interaction by changing schools, and if I leave this friend, one of the bestfriends I ever had, how am I supposed to make new friends if I can’t even stay with my best friends? How does anyone cope with the fact that they are leaving behind a great friends just because they grew distant? I don’t want that to happen, but it’s becoming exceedingly likely that it will happen. I don’t know how but soon, all of my friends will have left. My classmates. And my brother. Thanks for reading, I could use some advice.

A beautiful story. Thank you for sharing.

As for advice all I can say is that if you truly desire to keep this friend in your life you will find a way to make it work. It might take years and you may fear the friendship is long since passed on but even then a friendship can reignite. 

My sister and I had our differences and it took a millennium for us to come back together but even after so much time, we renwed our friendships to each other. 

If you do grow distant from this friend do not be afraid that the friendship is dead and gone, you may encounter one another in the future and find the spark that will bring your friendship to life once more.

im sorry this letter is late, i was trying to decide what to write and finally decided, whatever ill just post what ever i think at this time.

a week or so ago my friends and i had some alcohol, i personally have never drunk alcohol, by choice. ive always believed it was pointless and damages your body, like smoking.

well during that time i decided to give it a try, it was awful. >.< it tasted terrible and i got drunk after pretty much chugging the 1 bottle. thankfully i did nothing embarrassing while drunk.

however a few days ago we had a party for a friend of mines bday. there was some different alcohol and i decided to try it but this time i took my time. i drank 3 bottles and didnt get drunk and actually had a good time.

the lesson ive learn is actually two lessons, the first being you shouldnt judge anything you yourself havent properly tried. the second lesson was sometimes things you normally thought was bad could be good in moderation…. also dont drink to get drunk not really related to my lesson but still a good lesson regardless.

your faithful ponyvillian,

Helix

I am happy you expanded into new experiences Helix.

Yes, a valuable lesson to keep with you is “All things in moderation.”

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I was reminded of an important lesson in friendship.  As you’re most certainly aware, today was the day of the solar eclipse.  I must say, the passing of the moon in front of the sun has long fascinated me, and I always look forward to seeing it happen.

Unfortunately, the weather here where I live simply refused to cooperate.  We’ve just come off of two straight weeks of sunny skies; and then today, when it mattered most, we had completely overcast, cloudy skies.  As you can imagine, I was highly, highly disappointed.

However, I had already made plans to get together with some of my friends, and head to a nearby park, where we could hike to the top of a smallish butte and view the event from the summit (along with having a picnic dinner).  We decided to go through with our plans anyway, even if we wouldn’t be able to see the eclipse; and in the end, we had an absolutely wonderful time!

The lesson - one I’ve known for a long time, but was again reminded of - from today was this: Even when things don’t go the way we originally want, and we’re disappointed, if you’re with friends you can still have a great time!

-Signed, with respect and admiration, Wookiara

It was originally started by my sister after the imprisonment of Nightmare Moon.

My sister wanted to make sure that no one ever forgot me, or started to hate me for being overcome by the Nightmare, so she would pass the moon across the sun as a sign that she and I are eternal equals.

Dearest Princess Luna and Princess Celestia,

I am not much of a pony to write things down about myself, but I guess I could at least try. This is more of a report on things I have found in life. Sometimes karma can be a real jerk, and sometimes it can take away everything you held dear.

I should know, considering I am the product of being an orphan at the age of eight and living in a corrupted city for ten years. It still had the nerve though to take away my brother, friends and the one pony I really cared about.

Despite that and a few mental scars I came out fine.I am not sure what I have done if I didn’t have the sense of control and willpower that I have.

Though I have gained back a few things, my brother is normal now, and I have both friends and family. I don;t really have someone special yet, and it’s getting kind of difficult dealing with everything without having one.

I guess what I am trying to say is that life goes on, no matter how bad or good things are. You just have to keep going and live your life to the fullest.

Sincerely, Tirimor

Dearest Princess Luna and Princess Celestia,

I feel almost… petty, writing this to you, after reading some of the other letters you’ve posted. But, I still feel the need to write this because… well, I needed someone to tell this to who won’t judge me.

You see, I was born with a retinal tumor that later resulted in my right eye being removed. I’ve lived almost 17 years (I’m going to be 19 next month) only able to see out of one eye. I think this is the start of my downward spiral. Ever since then, I have felt the need to prove myself more than anyone else. I have always felt less than adequate, and I have been alienated by so many, and manipulated by many more. I had no real friends until many years later, and I have always been a failure in love. That’s the only way I can justify being dumped more times than I have fingers on my hands. I know, I sound so whiny right now, and you’ve probably stopped reading by now. But in case you haven’t… I’ve tried suicide several times, each of them failing. Overdose, cutting, even shooting. The gun jammed when I did it. Ironically enough, it fired when I aimed it away from my head. I almost fell into drugs, and today, I’m still alive, still clean, and trying hard to live anew, even with all my scars. 

Everytime I’ve tried to die I always said the same things to myself. “Your friends won’t miss you.” “who’ll miss a freak like you?” “nobody loved you, anyway, so go ahead” and things like this. I’m still lonely as ever, and I doubt I’ll ever find someone who’ll love me for who I am. I don’t blame them, since well…how many people, or ponies, do you know who are disfigured like that? I know I sound extremely self-deprecating, but I don’t know any other way to see myself. My own father wants nothing to do with me, my mother is too busy with work to notice my weak moments, and I live too far away from the few friends I have. Yet, when I think of suicide, it’s a little harder these days to actually try it again. Maybe it’s because it’s failed so many times before, maybe it’s because I’m actually afraid to go, but…somehow, I think I know that I will be missed, that someone out there might actually fall for me someday, instead of me falling for everyone who would never even notice.

So, what I want to say I’m learning, is that, despite what others may have said about me before, no matter how many people have said things about me, or hated me because of one part of me… there are still those who will love me, and always have my back. And even though so far I haven’t had any luck finding my special someone, that the door is still open. It’s still a lesson I’m learning as I live each day, and I don’t think I’ll have fully learned it until my life is finished. But, a big part of my reluctance for trying suicide again, other than my friends, is you. Princess Celestia, you have shown me that wisdom is the key to a happier life, and I see this wisdom in some of my friends. Princess Luna, I feel a certain… connection to you. You were isolated for 1000 years, I was isolated for a little over 10. Maybe not a good example, but I can at least begin to understand how that kind of isolation feels. Seeing everyone else smiling, having friends, while sitting alone in a corner of the room or on the rocky floor of the moon… it’s torturous. Both of you have pretty much deterred me from suicide, and possibly saved my life. I still have my days when everything feels dark and lonely, and that I’m not up to snuff, but I think, slowly, I’m learning that acceptance, true acceptance, is not having to prove yourself to others. Your real friends are the ones who’ll love you no matter what you can or can’t do. I don’t think there is a numerical value for the thanks I owe to you, Your Highnesses. I promise to report whenever I learn something new, or when a lesson has been reaffirmed in my life. 

Your new faithful student,

Dragonfist

I come reporting a new lesson I’ve been learning on family and friendship. It’s natural for ponies to get stuck in a routine or mindset, and start to take the ones you love for granted. And when we sometimes get stuck in our own world, we forget to look at things from another ponies’ perspective. It’s sad, but it sometimes happens. Even if we don’t mean to.

Well, dear princess, I’ve come from a life of sickness. For years I was too ill to take care of myself. (and even now I still have some disabilities.) And through all that time my mother had to take care of me.I knew it must have been hard on her, but my mind was so locked into thinking “yeah? But i have it off worse.” 

Recently my mother had major surgery, and now it’s my turn to take care of her. And you know…This feels worse to me. Losing sleep from worry, being awoken up at all hours of the night, and going to fetch things all day. Not to mention when she’s in pain, i can’t really do much to get rid of it. And just the whole uncertainty of it all! At least when I was sick, i knew what was going on. But with this, it’s a complete mystery.

And it hurts with how useless I can sometimes feel.

However…Now i know just how hard it can be, and i’ve grown a better understanding and appreciation for everything my mother went through for me. And it makes me feel all the more luckier to have such an amazing woman as her as my mother. 

But you know…I’m not the only one that learned this lesson too. It seems on the other side of the looking-glass, my mother has been telling me just how much more she understands MY experiences. 

Like mother like daughter, I suppose. 

Well, that’s enough wrting for today. I hope this letter finds you well. And I’ll be sure to write soon.

Your Faithful Student,

Snark

Today I learned not to be ignorant about everything. I learned that being ignorant does not always help the situation that you are in and infact can make the situation even worse. I learned to be more open to people’s opinions and to not think everything is about me.

No one, and I mean no one deserves this.

don’t care if your a bieber, hipster, one direction, kardashian, janoskian blog. you all need to watch this and reblog it

this video deserves a billion notes so please stop scrolling, watch and reblog !

This should be on every blog. No one deserves this. I seriously cried, breaks my heart this goes on

If you don’t reblog this, you have no heart. NO ONE should have to go through extreme bullying

Forever reblog

): what the FUCK is wrong with the world. every single one of my followers should reblog this.

Goosebumps, every time.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS, AND WATCH THE MOVIE

right

now

Oh my gosh I could not hit reblog fast enough

This hits really hard for me because I was a bullying victim and I didn’t have many friends for longer than I’d like to admit

This is an issue that I believe is enormous in scale, and should be treated with far more urgency than it is, and I would hope that all my followers agree

^ i’m with candace on the fact that it hits close to home.

i myself wasn’t bullied (not overly so anyway)

but i about it from my brother every school day.
he’s actually told my mother a handful of times before he’d be better off dead.

even though my brother can be a bit nosy, i couldn’t live without him.

please help stop bullying of all sorts u_u

Reblogging because I dealt with assholes like the ones depicted here all throughout elementary and Junior high school.  It’s a real problem and needs to be fought.

I may have teased some kids myself at school, but I never, I mean NEVER did anything like what was shown here.  I knew when it went beyond just fooling around. There’s a big difference between snarky remarks/being a smartass and being just downright cruel.

This belongs on our main blog, bullying is a major problem and should be stopped. It is not just a problem for children in school but a problem for everyone.

Ok, i like this guy. This is definitely worth listening to.

Took him a little bit to get going, and he repeats himself a lot, but I liked it!

I highly advise everyone to listen to this man’s words, reblog this video and show this to as many as possible. These words are powerful wisdom and must be shared.
