A Flightless Fairy

Never quite able to obey or conform to set rules, I have always considered myself somewhat odd. From the outside I look pretty normal but inside, I am far from it. I am like a kaleidoscope comprised of many little pieces, varied in shape, size and color. Depending on its angle, I change as I am rotated and thrust into various situations. Constantly evolving I even surprise myself with some of the choices that I make as I journey along the paths of life. My decisions in the past may not necessarily be the kind I would make in the present. Wiser, stronger and less fearful of judgement or even death, I am significantly different from the person that I was years ago. And I will yet transform into something more...

I am a fairy stuck in human form. I have wings that are bound so tightly it becomes invisible to naked eyes. For all decades of my existence I have kept this secret because I was afraid of ridicule, mockery, attack and isolation... I still am very much frightened. But in this spot I have found space enough to breathe and be me.

I am not ready for my true identity to be revealed and so I will for now remain nameless until which time I am confident that it is safe to come out. 

For those who by twist of fate find me here, I welcome you to travel with me along this passage towards the light. Witness through my writings the victories I make, the challenges I encounter, and share in the highs and lows of  my experiences. Perhaps in so doing, you too shall be inspired to come out of the rock from which you hide under. There is great beauty in each of us just waiting to surface from beneath the shadows.
