The Costume That Chose Me

This fairy costume started as a joke for a party but something strange happened when I

put it on. The wings felt lighter than air and when I waved the wand my reflection moved

differently than I did. My friend laughed until she saw the glitter on my face

wasn't makeup anymore it was actually glowing. I tilted my head and my reflection

winked back at me first. That night I learned some costumes choose you and maybe just

maybe magic finds those who are ready to believe in it again. Now I keep the wings

close because reality feels a little less certain and honestly I prefer it that way.
