I refused to believe that fairies weren't real (i still refuse), for some odd reason i was even upset when i found out that cats only purr when they want attention. i guess i thought they were always content, and to find out they are as

It's a sad truth in saying this: this world is what will mask your imagination.

For instance:

When you're little, according to certain circumstances, there have been cases of little children seeing the deceased in full consciousness. My brother did that. But it's only because you're a baby because, to summarize, you don't have an understanding of life and death yet. There just is.

It's like that episode of Looney Tunes when Bugs and Elmer Fudd are doing their schtick, only they're little kids, and Bugs leads Elmer off a cliff, but he doesn't fall. Elmer says in response to it, "Sorry, but I haven't learned about gravity yet." I always liked that episode.

as all of us get older and cross into this crazy new dimention called maturity, nostalgia seems to be our closest friend. sometimes people are more open about it and sometimes people are closeted dreamers. you, julia, have that special thing where you aren't afraid to want to fly, and you tell people that if you could become invisible and turn objects into candy your life would be complete. unfortunately, reality comes with age. in answer to your last question, yes. go ahead and believe in mermaids, have faith in the loyalty of cats, search for prince charming, and look for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. the longer you can still be a kid, the happier you will be in the end. As the brilliant Bejamin Franklin once said, "Our whole life is but a greater and longer childhood." so keep those thoughts with you and don't start to doubt the world quite yet, because there really are good people out there who still sit out and wait for the Great Pumpkin.
