Childhood Fantasy

Fairy Lands and Godparents are a part of every girls life. As a kid I’ve always been guarded by these fairies and godparents. It seemed to be the real world to me then. Whenever I slept earlier I used to get a gift; maybe a chocolate, a story book or a doll by the Fairy Godmother. If I keep my fallen tooth under my pillow I used to get gifts from the tooth fairy and if I score good grades in exams I get gifts from the fairies again. This was a seemingly competitive thing to get the gifts from the Fairy Land. I used to sleep earlier than my other siblings, as I loved winning more gifts! I hung little Fairies around me by the bed so that they would be guarding me all through the night… However, after sometime, as I grew up I found out that all those gifts werent from the Fairy Land but from the world I live in. And those werent sent by the Godmothers or Fairies but by my beloved parents. Then I came to realise that all that was a Fantasy and that own parents can never be replaced. They were the ones who guarded me and protected me all the time through. There never existed a Fairy Land who sents Fairies to guard the children.

…But though, I still love going back in time and thinking about my childhood fantasies…
