15. Fun, the year of the Unicorn  

Dear diary,

Today is my relaxation day, or what humans would call a day off, although I am not sure why they call it like that.

For me, relaxation day is one day a week when I can just be. I don't have to think about anything or worry. It's a day on which you can just relax, and enjoy life as it is.

Being present in every moment and appreciating the calmness and beauty of nature is just perfect.

What I love doing the most is taking long and relaxing baths. Because of our small size, for us, fairies, every little hole can serve as a bathtub.

Of course, I do have a bathtub in my home, but sometimes I just want to take a bath outside enjoying the beauty of nature.

Honestly, I often pick and choose when looking for a perfect puddle to take a bath in. I usually choose the one with the most magnificent view so that I can fully enjoy my bath.

Scented baths are my favorite, but unlike the human ones, they are all-natural.

I steal, I mean, I borrow some scents from the workshop and then use them to make a perfectly scented bath.

My favorite scent is the scent of roses. It is such a perfect fragrance.

Of course, I use magic to shape and clean the puddles, and once I prepare everything to my liking, I bring out a glass of wine and sip the wine while in the bath.

It's something I learned from humans, and although I rather enjoyed it, I am not very good at drinking wine while in the bathtub.

I usually spill some of it all over me, so I am happy there is no one around to laugh at me.

Still, it is quite relaxing and enjoyable. It is one activity that humans do, and that I understand.

What I also like to do is to make bubbles, so I guess you could say I often have bubble baths. Don't get confused, they are much better than the human ones.

After soaking in the bathtub for far longer than necessary, I usually go out to enjoy the weather. For every season, there is something different and fun to do.

For example, in springtime, I love lying among flowers.

I just go to the nearby flower field and lay down among the colorful flowers. It's my chance to breathe in deeply and enjoy the beauty of the flowers which I adore.

Sometimes, I also look at the clouds and try to figure out what they remind me of. I often see different shapes in the clouds, dragons, and horses, flowers and battles.

From time to time, my best friend joins me, and we have a competition in which the winner is the one who can see the greatest number of interesting cloud shapes.

To be honest, sometimes I cheat, by secretly using my magic to shape the clouds. My friend wouldn't mind even if she knew, because it is all part of the fun.

Clouds are just perfect, the fluffy beauty of the sky. So gentle and charming, that sometimes I wonder if nature is the true magic of the world.

I mean think about it, sometimes you have clear blue skies and fluffy clouds, sometimes the colors change, but they are still stunning.

The most fascinating thing is the sky color during the sunset and sunrise. That is magical even for someone whose everyday life is filled with as much magic as possible.

There is just something truly special about mother nature and its beauties.

I guess that is one of the main reasons I can't understand humans. They are surrounded by so much beauty, and yet they choose to live in the cities. They choose to build those terrible constructions they call buildings, why?

Once I had the opportunity to ask a human, and he just told me that it is more convenient that way.

Killing nature was more convenient than admiring it?

Well, for me, there is nothing like the natural beauties, they are always so unique and mesmerizing. I have never seen two identical sunsets, and each one of them is as magnificent as the other.

My family and friends don't truly understand how my friend and I can spend a whole day lying among the flowers and looking at the sky.

But it is such a perfect place to be, the flowers amazing fragrance surrounding us, watching the beauty of the sky, and hearing the birds chirping in the distance. It's an ideal way to spend your day.

Sometimes, we decide to fly above the trees, and if you have never done that, I must say it is breathtaking.

It helps me see how vast and delightful the world is.

That is very helpful when I feel down, or if I think I have some big problems.

Looking at the world from above, I can see how small my part of the world is, but at the same, I start to appreciate that there is a place for me in that enormous world.

I start realizing that my problems are much smaller than I previously thought, and I feel free. Free, to do whatever I like and to be whoever I want to be, and with whomever, I want to be.

Some days, we fly above the clouds. It is impossible to describe how fantastic and exciting the feeling is.

Of course, we can't do it just by using our wings, so we use a small magic boost to stay there safely. Still, it is a dream come true.

Looking at the clouds from above, being so close to them is so exquisite. Every time we do it, the experience is slightly different, but we are always thrilled with the chance to get a closer look at our precious clouds.

They are mostly white and fluffy.

I have to say, I tried sitting on a cloud, and it is very comfortable as well as soft. However, it is also dangerous, so I don't do it these days.

Still, just seeing them and being able to touch them is wonderful. It seems to me like a whole new undiscovered kingdom.

Especially on the days when we can't see the earth from the clouds, it's just layers and layers of clouds of different shapes and sizes.

I could spend hours up there, but we usually don't, because it is a big drain on our magic and our wings.

All too soon, we have to return, but we always bring back a piece of clouds in our hearts.

That is one of the usual ways in which I spend my relaxation day. I think I do it in a way that is much better than the humans' binge-watching TV shows on their days off, don't you think?
