the midnight in me (text)

Hey guys,

Maybe this is a bit of a weird question, but...if you're trying to improve yourself, how do you track your progress?

I thought I was past worrying about this stuff, but a few weeks ago something infected me. And it brought me right back to my horrible school bully days---I was pretty scary. And I know this is late, but I'm truly sorry for those of you I hurt. If there's ever anything I can do to help, please tell me.

You might say I was possessed and not at fault, but...where I'm from, magic like that doesn't really comes from nowhere. It always latches onto existing feelings of resentment and cruelty and makes them grow. So I'm worried that that darkness is still inside me, waiting to come out. And I'm just...trying to figure out how to live with that.

Thanks.

Oh, you're right! How could I have forgotten?

I used to keep a journal, actually, but it was a two-way. I sent letters to my princesses letting them know how I was doing and asking for advice. It's strange not to be writing to anyone anymore, but...I guess I can rely on myself now.

Thank you so much.

Well, if you still want someone to write to, maybe one of your housemates, or a good friend? Someone who could be up for keeping a progress journal of their own! Then you could exchange notes and cheer each other on.

Hmm. I would've tried Fluttershy, but she's been busy lately. I'll ask around some, but that's a great idea. Thanks!
