I think everyone could use a lighthearted/happy story right now so here goes: At the beginning of the pandemic I went through some painful personal stuff and would often go out at night for long walks because no one was around and I couldn’t sleep anyway. One night I was walking
down my street and noticed that someone had set up a few little objects in a tree planter and upon closer inspection I realized it was a fairy garden with a little note about the 4 year old girl who felt lonely in quarantine and wanted to spread some cheer. The next day I wrotepic.twitter.com/aCEK2k5PCy
a little note to her, pretending to be a fairy named Sapphire that had come to live in the tree because she had set it up so nicely and I left it on the tree that night on my walk and said I would gift her with a magical fairy dice (I got really into crafting resin rpg die atpic.twitter.com/c0FDrlSm3M
I wasn’t sure if she’d respond or even find the note but it was fun just imagining what she’d think. The next night on my walk I found this and immediately burst into tears:pic.twitter.com/eOKKupzf7x
So I left a bunch of my die that had small imperfections and left her another note and also a little extra note for her parents with my name and phone number so they could contact me and know I wasn’t some creep leaving notes for their small child:pic.twitter.com/89B5PcpxBa
Doing this every night gave me purpose in a horribly painful and lonely time. I looked forward to my days again and I started ordering art supplies and little trinkets to leave her. We wrote back and forth throughout the last 9 months, helping each other feel less lonely and Ipic.twitter.com/mTscxUMxwX
got to chat with her mom via text to make sure my gifts were a little more personal. At one point she asked for a photo of me and thankfully I had some elf costume items from the previous Halloween so I photoshopped some photos of myself in costume, looking like a fairy.

In the past month her mom sent me a text letting me know that they had closed escrow on a new house a little further away and would have to leave the fairy garden behind in the care of their neighbors. She also mentioned that Eliana was having a tough time with it so I made surepic.twitter.com/PuulHuy0VC
to include some support in my letters and told her I had to move as well so she’d feel like we were both going through it together. Her mom said it was helping her so much and they really wanted to try to see me somehow before they left. Well today, their moving day, after apic.twitter.com/aBtff6OhWN
few days of planning with her mom, I got to meet Eliana. I left one last note this morning saying i had to move out today and made up a little story that when fairies move houses, they grow to the size of a human just for one day to move all of their belongings. I said I had onepic.twitter.com/yMUWntFr3E
more gift for her and would leave it this afternoon and hoped 
she wouldn’t catch me. As they came back from their last walk around their neighborhood I was by the tree leaving her gift and she got to catch me in the act. (I got tested two days ago and herpic.twitter.com/ZpsCzEDdwI
parents did too to make sure we were all safe because I really needed to hug that girl) We got to sit and talk for about an hour and she asked me a million questions about what life is like as a fairy, some I had prepared and others I hadn’t. It was incredible and one of thepic.twitter.com/f82VX0J75p
most important and impactful afternoons of my life thus far. I hope one day when she’s older she can understand that I truly needed her as much as she needed me these past few months. This is the book she wrote me after I encouraged her to keep telling such amazing stories.pic.twitter.com/lqRNyJSdxi
We plan to keep in touch/write letters to each other from time to time. She’s changed me forever and the things her mom has said about how her self-confidence, her kindness towards others and her creativity have skyrocketed since meeting me make me feel like I made an impact too.pic.twitter.com/UNkhkrEcR7
When I went to sleep this had like 10 likes 
. I have nothing to promote, I just ask that you try to do something special for someone today and keep the magic going 
thank you all for being so sweet.
I’ve had tears in my eyes all morning reading all these amazing messages. This was my special little secret that only 2 or 3 people knew about for the last 9 months, I wasn’t trying to get any attention for any of it but I’m so glad it’s bringing people so much joy. Thank you all
I also found out today that Eliana has Synesthesia just like me and I can’t wait to discuss this further with her in the future 
her parents are such a treasure
Here’s a video of Eliana finding one of the gifts. I’m so thankful her mom took little videos of these moments.pic.twitter.com/mqBYR9knrT
With some help from her aunt, I got to surprise Eliana and her family last night on their Christmas Zoom call and play a few games with them. 
It was the best!pic.twitter.com/Z4OC6Ymd0u
