TF


TF stands for "Tree Fairy." She is a female in character who lives and moves from tree to tree, depending on the weather conditions, season or situation. She is not light-skin colored in appearance, but rather physically dark and she is not cursed to be a fairy. Hence, she is blessed with immortality because of her honesty and compassion for others. For many centuries, the TF's progenitors only lived and survived in undisturbed virgin forests and silent mountains. Almost all fairies who have lived are kind-hearted and never kept a grudge on anything. One reason why most fairies have to live in solitude is to stay alive and preserve their legacy. Very few are condemned forever to stay out of the peaceful and happy world of the so called "fairies" for being so cruel and wicked, but if time changes as the weather then that means people and everything else can also change for good. Fairies, like humans, are not perfect. Not all humans will admit their faults or mistakes in public because of one specific reason. People all over the world know what it is... for keeps! TF is a different one who loves to explore her surroundings. She lives in the urban area where there are trees around. What attracts her attention the most is the simplest house she can find somewhere. A spot, area or a house with not too many decorations. She doesn't like people whose bodies are embedded with so many tattoos because in the fairy world tattoos are signs and symbols of forgetfulness and sorrow, but fair enough to wish them well with gifts of goodness for their inner beauty. She believes that being remembered in the physical world is not about tattooing. She will never judge humans based on their gender, religion, physical appearance or inadequacy of material things. She can read people's minds and surprisingly she can predict what's coming in and out of the house where she stays very close. She peeks on nature-caring people who water their trees everyday. People who preserve their trees are blessed with long life because the TF prays for them to the Most High to live with peace and harmony with their surroundings. ... ... ... For twelve consecutive days in this early month of December, TF has been watching a scene. She sees a beautiful, retired lady coming out of the house every morning and sitting on a rocking chair the whole day. The lady was writing something on a paper, waiting for the thirteenth day of Christmas. TF hears what the lady was writing each day because the lady loves to recite all her wishes that she's writing on the paper. Would you believe what the lady wrote on the paper? She was writing a poem, titled "I Am A Tree." On the thirteenth day, the lady died. So many people went to the deceased lady's house to mourn. And they saw the lady lying on her bed with a smiling face. ... ... ... Many trees may live long enough, even older than the actual age of their caretakers although some trees live short. Why?... It is because some people don't care for trees at all. Hurting, cutting or poisoning them is just a game. And more people use them for material and personal gains. Superstitious people who think weird, thinking that trees live short because of sin or curse or sickness within the family. A clan with a clean heart need not worry about anything. Common people believe trees live short because of changing weathers. Hectic and hardworking people believe that trees are just decors while scientists and nature-lovers see trees as oxygen-producing beings that resuscitate and revive people's hopes and dreams. One tree, no matter how strong it stands, may fall down at any time. Trees save lives. Trees are representations of your growth since childhood. You may have lived in different locations and might forget about a stalk that you planted sometime ago, but one single tree is an everlasting memory of your being. If you live in an apartment and have no space to plant something, look for a tree outside and water it... that one tree can save your life someday! Each tree is a Christmas tree -- more than just a family tree. Some trees are expensive while some are just not strong enough for shelter, household and boating purposes. Trees are planted for humans. They sprouted on the grounds long before humanity came into being. TF is saying, she has no grudge for anything negative that some people think of her. People can never get closed to her if evil will rule over the hearts of many. She is not a villain and never had a single enemy. Alleged enemies are "self-made" or self-proclaimed antagonists. She wants to communicate with everybody in this physical world. Just be respectful if you want to be respected! She is saying that you are a "fairy" in your own creation. You don't fly and cannot do magic in everything, but you can create small, good and wonderful "real" things that can last forever! The story of TF continues... Stay good and beautiful! Merry Christmas To All! (Prosebite)
