Magic is everywhere, but like the moon, you can’t pin it down. We’re all exposed to the Magic, but we take it in differently. For me, Magic is watching dancers on stage, moving in time with the music and each other. Magic is watching two people who are in love.
Magic is writing down how I feel. I like capturing moments and feeling, and it’s something I’ve always done. When I danced, I would choreograph a routine that portrayed how I felt right then. Anytime I danced that routine, I went back to that feeling and experienced it all over again. In art, I capture a moment, by the facial expressions, the placement, the color choice.
But when I write, it’s something different. Sure, in dance, if I made a move timid instead of strong, it changed the feeling. And if I made the background gray instead of white in a sketch, it changes the feeling. But those are nothing compared to writing. I can play with words, expressions, emotions, tensions, humor, kindness, nuances, intonation, language… I can create something I’m feeling, or something I want to feel, or a feeling I miss. That is my Magic, putting everything down in words.
Like I told my cousin this past weekend, I share my feelings a lot. With people, of course. But also with other things. I think the example I gave her was TV: if someone is crying in the movie, I’m crying too; if someone is smiling, so am I. That’s just how it goes. I express emotions through everything I do, all day long.
So I suppose, instead of my Magic being writing, my Magic should really be feelings. I do them really well. I’m like a sorceress, a magician, a wizard, a witch. My Magic is my own. There is no limit to the Magic I can have. My Magic is love, dance, art, writing, expressing, feeling… really, everything is Magic.
Lumos,
Ella

I’m more aware of the beauty and joy that surrounds me since my AMD diagnosis because I know it can all be lost IF my left eye starts “leaking” like my right.

Hello Ella – you write beautifully. I was so surprised as I read to learn you are sixteen.

I used to dance too.. I grew up dancing, and tried to continue until the pain got too bad. I can relate entirely. Thank you so much for sharing- I really enjoyed relating to your work!

I love the way you write. But, what if you were a superhero instead of having a magic power? I don’t know why, but a super power just sounds like more fun to me.. You could be Super Emoticon. And throw little, or not so little, emoticons at people so they’d explode and make people feel things… Or not. Just a thought.
