Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been fascinated by the mythical and magical. I dreamt of the day I would be escorted off to a magical world of my own. I loved magic.That didn’t happen.I would immerse myself in fantasy series in hopes of surrounding myself with a bit of the magic. I hoped that my own magic powers would come to me.Since then, I’ve continued to devour fantasy series. It was my safety zone for a long time. It provided me comfort when I needed it. It provided hope that I would get my own epic journey. And it provided family. All the characters I came into contact with shared my life with me.Magic was a place where dreams came true and all your fantasies were fulfilled. My daydreams were filled with it.I’d like to think that magic exists. Who knows? Maybe it does.
Key Message: The world would be better off with a bit of magic.
