I’ve thought about this carefully.

And I don’t think I believe in fairytales because I’m naive.

I think I believe in them because I’m observant.

Because when I look at reality — closely —

I don’t see less magic.

I see hidden magic.

And maybe that’s why I believe in fairytales more.

Not the castles.

Not the glass slippers.

Not the dramatic rescues.

But the structure beneath them.
