Girl believing in fairies.

Tuesday 5th May 2009.

I've just met Derren Brown. Had tickets to see him for months now, and tonight was the night. His shows are absolutely spectacular they really are.
I'm not one of those people that believe in ghosts and spirits and all that malarky, but his stuff really does make you question yourself.
When things like that are brought before us it does test our own judgement, not only on the world around us but on how we see ourselves in it. Is it magic? Or is it just a very clever man, who knows a lot of clever tricks?
The truth of the matter is that it simply doesn't matter.
If you know me well then you'd know that one of my favourite words is 'Believe'.
I'm not religious or anything like that I'm afraid to say. However I do love the idea of it. There's so much more to religion than believing the world was made in seven days. The one thing I wish I could bring into my life is the faith that is paired with religion. Sometimes it doesn't really matter what you believe in, as long as there's something.
Derren Brown's tricks. They are simply just that, and I'm not going to preach that he's psychic and has special powers or anything like that. But at the same time, I have no desire to know the workings of his act. There are some things that are better to be naive about.
Remember when you found out that the coin from behind your ear was actually in their hand all along... oh the dissapointment.
Whereas if you never know, then you can always believe.
It almost doesn't matter what you believe in; be it a dream, a wish, a God, a person or yourself. Make sure there's something. And when you do believe in it, don't tip toe around it. There's no point believing in something unless you put every ounce of your faith into it. If you believe in it then who is anyone else to tell you it's not real?
I believe.
I believe in you.

Children should believe in Santa Claus for as long as they possibly can.
