Dear Princess Celestia,
It is my first time to write to you; I just might don’t know where to start.
It’s been a year since I got this notebook. Sorry for the delay, But I hope you can understand. I just don’t want to ruin such a sacred present from my very best friend, so I put it away. But today I’ve learned, to cherish something is not to have it shelved and forgotten – the real cherishment lies not in material, but in heart. That means, it needs to be used, properly. After all, a candle can not be a candle if it can’t burn; similarly, if this notebook can not be filled with memory, it would lost all its meanings. Therefore, I take it out, hoping it can be my invaluable memory case. I would treasure it anyway.
As for future, I may not write to you every day, but as long as there’s something worth recording or I learned some valuable truth, I would share it with you. And, if I was sad someday, will you be willing to listen to my complaints?
Now I am far from perfect, but I hope at least I could be nearer to it. Just being better, that’s all what really matters. I once was a great person, which only means, I can be a great person once again. I hope to be a better version of myself; I hope to see a bigger world.
Hope we can learn and progress together!
Your student, who’s willing to be your friend,
Firestone

P.S. Suddenly this came to my mind, “Dark days need the light of belief.”
May the courage be with me; may I be a better person.
