so much for “My Past Is Not Today” – this could be what happened following that EqG short. ;_;

@amess  
Fortune cookies are shorter :P

@Cirrus Light  
Oh yeah that is them that do that… I don’t think I could, I get weak, shaky, dizzy, and very irritable when I don’t eat.
 
Also I don’t think I want to sit in snow in just a robe, I am pretty sure that over the last 13 or 14 days I have had more then enough chills to last me a life time.
 
 
Perhaps I could do fortune cookies?
 
“One must live in the present while remembering the past, in order to best strive for the future.”

@Mildgyth  
Thanks. I am far less disturbed :I

@Cirrus Light
 
You could block that image with Adblock. i tried to do it just to see if it was possible and it worked.

@atalarikt  
…How do I hide that profile picture?… O.o

@atalarikt  
me too, i have a lot of pain in my past.

I somehow can relate to this.

@amess  
You transcend reality so that you subsist off of thought alone.
 
I think there are actual Hindu (?) records of monks that fasted for inhuman lengths of time in meditation.
 
Meditation has some weird stuff to it, man…

@Cirrus Light  
Lol, well thankyou.  
Though sometimes I worry I sound like I might end up sitting in the lotus position on top of some mountain.
 
I mean even now I am trying to “brain together” something concerning the point others have brought up about not having the past hold you back.
 
Something, something, we must remember the past so we can plan for the future, but live in the present since it is the er… Only place we can be…
 
Meh, needs work.
 
How do they get food up on top of those mountains anyways? Some sort of Fulton balloon system?

Hush now dear sister we have all made mistakes

That’s exactly what I think too. The past will be there for our entire life no matter how much we try to forget and move on. We can be better but the remorse will take forever. That’s why she’s my favorite character, she suffered the most for what she did and she still suffers by remorse. I can only sympathize with her at fullest. I want to hug her so badly…

@PonyPon  
Indeed, it’s always good to be able to say “I’m so much better than old me.”
 
It’s depressing when you can’t say that.

True.
 
But perhaps for the best.
 
Do the things we’ve triumphed over not deserve their spot on the mantel?
 
So we can always turn to it and say, ‘just look at me now’?

@Cirrus Light  
it depends, too much reminders makes it look like ‘once a thief, always a thief’.
 
kinda like how the GI Joe Mercer keeps being reminded he was an ex-cobra in almost every appearance he has.

Nope. But if it were, we would be doomed to repeat our mistakes forever.
 
@amess  
It’s sad how nobody even acknowledged this little gem in the comments.

Sunset Shimmer’s good past consists of:  

It’s hard but you just have to move on, and accept the past.

It may not be forgotten, but it tends to hurt less and less as time passes. And even when some moment, some memory, brings back all those feelings, it gets easier to recover from it when it does.
 
You’ll be OK Sunset. You managed to overcome the bitterness and anger inside you, and make friends despite the fact that you once mind controlled your entire school.

Meh, sunset doesn’t seem to mind anymore. The fact they all Acknowledge it and joke about it is a bigger sign of moving on then acting like it never happened for fear of hurt feelings ever could be.

@SuppliedRelic  
hurts the most when she reminded everyone in that pep rally (more so because if they can beat her (and the dazzlings), they could take on a rival school).

@OptimusPrimevil  
Fair point.

@SuppliedRelic  
hurts more when it’s one of your supposed friends that keeps reminding people.
 
isn’t that right miss dash?

@OptimusPrimevil  
Everybody at CHS reminded her.
