Aria in Elysium

Memory

I was just walking along today....at 5am outside looking at the spider webs in the trees...and a memory came to me.

When I was young...probably 4 or 5, I would close my eyes really tight, super tight "oh man that stings" tight. And when I open them, I would see spots of different colored light that I was sure where faeries. So I thought if I closed my eyes, they would come out of hiding, and then when I open them I could catch him.

So I played that little game, and I loved it. Only, I started playing it out in "public"...and my parents were not too happy. Every time I tried to grab hold of the fairy, they slap my hands and say "Don't, people will think your dumb and crazy" and I was so mad. I mean, I understand their concern and all...but at the moment I was mad and deppresed cause...FAERIES!

Yes, now I know there is a scientific explanation but....FAERIES!
