Thy Words... by Lady Grey

Dear Princess Dear
Celestia,
Today I learned that sometimes how you say something can be just as important as what you have to say. It's easy to forget the true strength of words and all the subtle ways they can bring us closer together or push us apart. It doesn't matter if you're a filly in Ponyville or an Alicorn Princess in Canterlot, words are powerful.
There's still so much to learn about friendship. But I think I'm ready to start.
Your Faithful Student,
Your Friend,
Twilight Sparkle
