It's not uncommon to get lost inside your own memories. But when you're immortal with a perfect memory, how do you cope with them? How do you keep the past at bay?

You put distance between yourself and the past.

This is a story about how the Princesses keep themselves going year after year, and what happens when their secrets are used against them.

Short, somber, and thought-provoking, as any good peace of writing should be. :pinkiehappy:

The burden of immortality is heavier than can be known by those who do not bear it. You captured this truth well without succumbing to maudlin melodrama. Well done.

So often is the subject of Celestias immortality and Twilights lack therof touched upon, Twilight isn't one of my favorite ponies, but I still get a little misty eyed when I think of that and how it will change the lives of the princess and the other ponies. I've had to watch far too often as those around me slipped away. This story was cute, I would like to see more, so I will put it on watch.

499576 I know what you mean! While it can be fun to make something maudlin at times, that leaves whole reams of unexplored possibility as to what immortality means. I'm hoping to take a slightly different tact towards it and how it can be expressed, and for what reasons. I really appreciate your thoughts, thank you!

499581 It's never easy to watch those you care about slip away. It also becomes easy to become distant from those that you care about as a result of that loss, which is something I do hope to address in an upcoming chapter. Thank you for your comments and watch!
