Dear Diary,
Today, my most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, has graduated from my School for Gifted Unicorns. Although she is still my protégé, the school will feel a bit empty without her cheerful and studious demeanor prancing through the halls.
But I know I cannot keep my little pony here in Canterlot forever. Her potential is too great to remain grounded in such a town. I have offered her a loft in my castle, but she is so humble; she refused my offer, saying that she would rather live the life of a regular pony than to be given special treatment. I know how much she values her studies, but here in Canterlot she will have to either sacrifice the time devoted to them for work, or live in poverty until her studies are complete. I also worry that in either situation, she will live as a shut in. Of course, how could I doom my dear pupil to such a fate?
And so, I have ordered Twilight Sparkle to go to the quaint town of Ponyville. I feel that there she will be happier, as she will be able to continue her studies, live comfortably, and most importantly be able to make new friends.
I will certainly miss my little pony. However, I must share my wonderful student with Equestria, and save her from the fate of solitude in which I have been doomed. I have begun to realize how lonely the duties of a Princess can be, even with Philomena by my side. Twilight Sparkle has taught me that no matter how much power one may have, no matter how adored one may be, a pony is still a pony at heart, even if she is a princess on the outside.
Until next time,
Celestia
