This is m-me.” I indicated the lonely track.“Really? What’s up there?” He peered over my shoulder in genuine curiosity. “Is there a house up there? You’re not a sylph or something that really does live wild, are you? I see you have been spending time with the fairies.� This was a common misconception in my childhood that led to a lot of trouble for me. I spent a lot of time with the fairies when I was younger and they taught me many things about their world, including this idea that I was one of them. I had always felt different from other people and had always preferred being alone, so it seemed natural to me that I should belong somewhere outside the human world.

The problem was that during this time, I was too young to realize that these people were not real and that what they told me was either completely false or something they picked up from old fairy tales. Later in life, when I learned more about fairy lore, this belief became clear and never bothered me again.
