i remember when i felt like this

i suppose my post dwells more on how i miss feeling, rather than what i missed in the game. the latter would be an incredibly long post, but then again this is also quite a long post!

pixie hollow will always have a near and dear place in my heart. i discovered it almost 5 years ago, in the fall of 2012. i still feel nostalgic whenever fall and winter roll around... the best and most impactful things always happen around that time! i was 10, and my parents were planning to move out of my childhood home. i felt an unexplainable void in my heart knowing that all of my real-life memories would be taken away and i would have to adapt to a new house that i could not learn to feel as safe in. so, i didnt stand by - i tried to make the most of my time left before finally parting and saying farewell. i watched movies, and tinkerbell especially appealed to me when i was a child. i found the link to the disneyfairies.com website on the cd box, along with the advertisement of the site on an NDS game i decided to play.

the game wasn't just my escape from the real world. my friends thought i was stand-offish, hostile, and rather exclusive when i was younger. all of that changed when i started playing. pixie hollow has mostly been my little secret but it seriously impacted my life when i met the wonderful people there. when it announced it was closing, i was utterly devastated and didn't know how to feel. i thought that my little connection from myself to my childhood home was through that game and it would all be taken away - i made special memories on that game with people and communicated in a way i never could in real life. when pixie hollow closed, i was forced to face reality as reality, and nothing more. it's nice to feel a little nostalgia once in a while through this site, though. i miss being a kid again, but i realize now that when i reminisce on the past i should look at it in positive regard. i might not be able to replicate those days and feel as i felt, but i will accept that i can make new memories now and look forward.

5 years ago, my fairy was valorie watervalley (im still called that now!), and my username was secretofmywings (im also still called that now!) i still retain the same signature hairstyle with my current fairy and i still have a love for purple, just like i did back then. i guess some people never change, and these memories will live within me forever. im just glad that things from 5 years ago and pixie hollow happened  <3
