Prologue
Many a times were there moments in my life where I wanted to give in to pressure. The feeling of dying was filled with elation yet panic as it grasped at me while I was lying in the pool of despair. Funny, most of the time people would call me optimistic; sometimes call me a bit too idealistic for my own good. Because of my personality, I was never once given a chance to prove my worth; even though my friends have told me I am the strongest person they know in the times of need. I'm the glue that holds them together; they say.
I don't know if they are being truthful, or being nice in order to keep me occupied from going insane from all of the crazy missions I've had in my short life. Being a fourteen year old, thrust into a life of battles and a war that was closely won by the skins of our teeth gives a new perspective of myself. I am weak, but I am also strong.
I am eighteen now, about to embark on a new adventure filled with excitement. But this time, I know it'll be a very trying experience. Am I talking about a new threat to our Universe? Ha, no. I'm talking about my new adventures graduating high school and entertaining myself with the idea of marrying my Prince. Of course, most young women would go to college (which Luna and Mamo-chan is insisting I go to learn more about the world); however, I'd much rather be in the presence of my love forever.
But, as reality is, I must do what a Senshi would do and battle on.

Notes:
Very short prologue to a long chapter one yet to be written. I am unsure if I'll continue this as it depends solely on the feedback I receive. Also, duly note that yes, it is Usagi who is speaking in first person elegantly…I find that the older she gets, the more mature she gets. And although I would have her more of a less poetic writer, sometimes people can surprise you in their diaries of how they write.
