Thankfully dreams can change. If we'd all stuck with our first dream, the world would be overrun with cowboys and princesses.

People tend to associate fairies with princesses, but they couldn't be more different. Princesses have dynastic and domestic pressures, and they get parked on glass hills. Fairies don't have families. They don't clean or cook. They sip nectar from flowers and dance by the light of the moon.
