3rd Letter - Bad Day & Friendship

Dear Princess Celestia,

I am sorry that I haven’t written in so long. I’d like to say it’s because I’ve been busy, but mostly I’ve just been busy keeping myself occupied and trying to avoid the things I have to do. Sometimes it’s hard even for me to get out of bed every day, because I don’t want to deal with how sad I am. I made myself get up relatively early, for me, these days, and even now, at two o’clock, when I’m writing this, I might not have been up on any other day this week, because of how depressed I’ve been.

Sometimes, there’s no reason to depression. It just comes. I was talking to my mom earlier today, and we were having fun, singing songs we liked, talking about my writing, and suddenly, it felt like all the happiness drained out of me. It’s really scary when that happens, because all of a sudden, I didn’t feel like doing anything, I felt like I would never be happy again. All in the span of a few minutes.

I hope I’m not bringing you down, too, Princess, and anyone else who reads this after. I have good days, and bad days, and today was one of the bad.

Since I’ve made a promise to myself to talk about at least one good thing every time I write to you, though, I’ll tell you a little bit about my friends. Thinking about them and talking to them always makes me feel better. I’m thinking of putting a page on my blog, where I publish these, about them in case I reference them in future letters.

First I have to talk about my two amazing penpals, Movie Magic and Azure Dreams. Movie Magic is from Canterlot! She’s so amazing and stylish, and her passion is making videos and indie films. She’s so down-to-earth, and in our group, she represents the element of Honesty. She’ll always tell you how she feels, and I really admire her for her fearlessness. Azure Dreams is from Cloudsdale, and she would be the element of Kindness. I really wish Icould talk to her right now, because she’d know exactly what to say to help cheer me up, or what to do to help me out.

My beautiful stallion, Whitewing is next. I’m so thankful I have him in my life. Right now he’s living in Appleloosa, and I’m going to be moving soon to go live with him! He’s having sme hard times right now, too, and he also lives with depression. Still, he’s solid and dependable, and if I had to pick any element of Harmony that  he represented, it would be Loyalty.

Haalima is next, she’s amazing! She’s also an artist and she’s taught me a lot about art. She’s amazing and different and I love her to death. I know I can always talk to her when I’m upset. I don't know what element I'd say she was - she's kind of all of them! Maybe Generosity, because she's always giving of herself and helping others.

Just writing about and thinking about my friends is helping me feel better. I hope I haven’t bored you to tears with all of this, dear Princess, dear readers! Thank you all again.

Sincerely,
Midnite Brite
