Once upon a time...

....in a far, far land...lived a beautiful fairy. One day, she woke up only to find her whole magical world transformed into an ugly and gray land. Where have the flowers disappeared? What happened to her flying unicorn and the singing trees, who has stolen the sun?

Lea was alone and afraid...she tried to cry but the tears wouldn't come out, someone has stolen them too...

Lea could see the other fairies suddenly covered in gold, they looked rich but colourless and their smiles have turned into frozen pancakes. Damn, she could not smile either...she tried again and again, again and once more but she could not even manage the frozen pancake....

She wanted to cry but she couldn't, she wanted to smile but she couldn't...Lea realised she was in reality...She has once heard her mother talking about this reality that hits you around 30-ish but Lea never believed her...She always knew life was meant to be a beautiful surprise and this reality business never seemed real to her.

What has changed? The angels were warning Lea that this was her challenge and she knew she had to be careful with her thoughts. But could she change them so easily this time? In this gray, gray land, all she could hear were scary words and all she could see were the pittyful eyes of her friends....They were all trying to tell her that the magic ends at some point and that one way of the other, she had to deal with it.

So Lea packed a small bag and went on a quest for the truth. She had to find her truth and the gateway back to the magic. She had to. First, she went to a party with millions of people, all looking happy and drunk..but Lea did not drink?!...She looked around and she saw someone..someone she once knew, a crazy boy who also knew what it feels like to live in a dreamland. Or so she thought...and this was enough. She did not want to talk to him or ask him whether the magic still exists, it was enough to see him to believe.

So she left. She left the party and all under the pouring rain, she managed a half-frozen pancake. At least, it was a beginning. Not a real smile but the start..

Wet, cold and shaking, Lea crawled under the bridge of her life and fell asleep. And wow, miracle, she dreamt of her house in the mountains, of laughter and passion. She even laughed in her dream...She met everyone - all the elfs and the other fairies, her real friends still had purple hair and pink socks, they still smiled and believed. Some of the ones she knew had gone, they had gone into the so-called reality forever, but alas, there were still some left, who were waiting for her to come back!

Shit! This was only a dream...poor, poor Lea, you are still under the bridge of reality, you are hungry, hungry for love and harmony and the shop is closed. In this world, they only sell coffee.

But the coffee is supposed to wake us up from this shitty dream or the so-called reality. We have to drink only one cup to find that the truth is not in having a flat, a car and a well-paid job, maybe a husband and two kids...The truth is in feeling alive!!!!

Lea turned her eyes left, right, up and smiled!!!! The way only she could!!!! This was a real smile, only one thought and she was back, back in her woods, back in her magicland, back in the dreams, which made her reality. What if she wasn't married? What if she let go of the safe to look for the wild? What if she wanted to feel alive and free? What if she cherished this freedom and did all her best to let the others feel free as well...

This is life at its best! Happy Valentine's, Tiger New Year or whatever else is celebrated in reality on 14th of Feb. In Lealand, we celebrate freedom! Every day!!!

I love you!
