What Exactly Is Magic?

Magic fills the heart and soul of those brave enough to believe

What Exactly Is Magic?

Twinkling lights shimmer through a world draped in darkness. Glimmers of gold gently dust the colorless pavement. Sparks of wonder dance through the navy sky, as the gold dust twirls ever so gracefully, filling in the empty air. Illuminating the unknown abyss, the dust holds something-- something special-- something magical.

Magic warms the heart and soul of those brave enough to believe. A wise man once said, “believing is just the beginning.” The young or young at heart become captivated by the curiosity that the gold dust possesses. The world of fantasy blurs its invitation from the distance.

Magic is a hard concept to grasp your head around. There are no words to describe it- other than enchantment, fantasizing this uncanny world we live in. It's fueled by pure acts of kindness, that cost less then that little copper coin. It comes from deep within the soul, in ways that take you from under the darkness. Magic leaves the crevices of your lips starching upward for so long that the muscles holding it there start to become numb.

Your heart flutters as your eyes widen. Magic submerges your veins, downing your body in pure joy as it takes over your mind. You’ll want to breath in every last possible drop of enchantment, if you’re lucky enough to stumble upon it. It disconnects you from the troubles of the world. With just a little faith and trust, little magic moments make life well worth living.

Those who believe in magic share one major similarity-- they believe in dreams. They wish on every star that one day, their dreams will come true. As they muddle through the world, the believers search for sparks of the gold dust. They look high and low, but it's sparse and fragile. When they finally face the dust, it leaves them vulnerable. Even if its scary or uncomfortable, valiant souls swallow their apprehension.

Believers have to let the magic in to truly immerse themselves into the powers of it. They dance through life with their loved ones by their side and drive away from negativity. Although we sometimes fall as we chase our dreams, we can only do one thing: hope that the delicate gold dust can sustain despite the odds.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
