Wings and Fairies

Welcome to my blog! Here I post about things I enjoy. My second blog [email protected] is where I post my own writing. In my free time I enjoy being a water fairy, dancing with the cloud mermaids, and drinking Kava, among other things.

emily dickinson in a letter to mary bowles | december 1858

newest hobby: writing love letters to people. there’s a catch, however, which is that there are two kinds of people who get these love letters. 

1: i have never spoken to them (or if i have it was very brief) but have seen them and decided they deserve a love letter

2: i don’t know who the recipient will be yet, it’s to anyone with a specific trait (such as dark brown eyes or curly red hair) to give to the first person i see who has that trait
