Fairy Diary

Fairy fun

Dear diary,

I apologize, I am getting too serious. So, let me change the subject to something a bit more positive, fun. 

I have already told you some good and bad sides of being a fairy, but since it is in my fairy nature to be positive, I will tell you a few more positive things about being a fairy. I will tell you how I have fun! 

Despite all the negative things I mentioned, being a fairy is awesome! The best thing for me is the close connection I have with nature and of course, having magic. I simply adore magic. It's like having the freedom to be who you are and do what you wish when you wish it. 

Sometimes I create colorful rainbows just to enjoy their beauty, or I float random things around my house, just because it is so fun to watch. Being a fairy is so wonderful even without using magic. Since I am so closely connected to nature, I can better enjoy its changes. I am often mesmerized by the simplest things. 

For example, I am often transfixed by the rain and the feel of its gentle touch on my skin. My favorite thing to do is spin around in the rain until I feel dizzy and giddier than ever. It's like the rain's gentle touch on my skin renews my energy, my joy. 

Not all fairies enjoy things the way I do. Some of them look at me strangely while I am spinning around in the rain and laughing out loud. I don't know exactly why, but feeling the wet raindrops on my skin is so fun and refreshing. Sometimes I even walk instead of flying just to be able to splash my way through the puddles. It is the best feeling ever, but I will probably say the same for some other things I enjoy.

I enjoy the gentle brush of snowflakes on my skin and the silence that settles when everything is covered in snow. It seems as if everything is a bit gentler, quieter and astonishingly beautiful. Once again, I like walking, from time to time, just to feel the softness of the snow and to hear it crunching under my feet. I even enjoy the cold air since it seems to purify everything and makes it new and fresh. 

In springtime, I enjoy flying from flower to flower like a butterfly. At that time, I am usually mesmerized by so many smells and textures. For me, it seems as if nature itself has its own magic and it is fascinating. 

The good thing about me is that I can enjoy things as they come, fully and passionately. I love all nature equally and I can't help but express the joy and wonder I feel in my unique way. At times, I am not completely in control of my actions; my emotions take over and I must admit that it is such a liberating feeling. 

Of course, there are some regular ways in which fairies have fun, such as fairy dances, moonlight parties, birthday parties, weddings, and so on. 

Personally, I also love fairy dances because they are so unique. You see, humans can dance only on the ground, but we, oh, we can dance in the air as well. 

I remember one time, I danced with Ang, my friend. We started dancing on the ground, and we were amazing, if I do say so myself, and we got so carried away that we didn't even realize we had started dancing in the air! We were spinning around while flying, it was awesome! My beautiful red dress was spinning around me and my long hair was floating freely in the air. It felt so good, so free. 

They told us later that we looked like we were using magic. But the truth was we didn't use any magic, we used our wings and our joy to dance. We danced our hearts out and that is why the dance was so beautiful. 

We didn't care what the other fairies thought, we only wanted to have fun, to feel free, and we did. It was the most magical night of my life and I didn't even use any magic. That is the beauty of being a fairy, even everyday things, that you humans, don't fully appreciate can be joyous for us.
