Tinker Bell. The little fairy in Peter Pan. She has quite a fictional history. She's been adapted in many different ways, but through these adaptations few traits stand out:

She's sassy.

She's jealous.

She can fly.

She needs attention or applaud to survive.

      I want to focus on these main traits, because they're responsible for my new belief that I'm turning part fairy.

      Have you ever heard about the Tinkerbell effect? It's essentially a phenomenon that expresses the belief that something only exists because we believe in it.

      Just like Tinker Bell can't live without people believing in her. A lot of adaptations describe her as needing attention to survive. They warn the viewers that she will fade away without it.

     I fear I am becoming Tinker Bell in this situationship.

     I seem to have grown the need for your applause.

     I feel myself fading away without your attention.

     I'm almost the same size as her.

     Have I tinkered with the wrong clocks? Is that why you haven't noticed how much time has passed since we last spoke?

     I'm certainly becoming a little hot-tempered.

     Cheeks rosy and feet stomping when hours pass without a word from your lips.

     I'm growing jealous when I previously wasn't.

     Do you have magic dust of your own?

      Have you sprinkled this obsession upon me?

     If so, where can I find my own dust?

      Maybe I'm just trying too hard. The show isn't natural anymore.

     No one appreciates a play when the acting is forced.

      Maybe when I stop caring about your applaud and remember my original act, you will enjoy yourself more.

      Maybe it's time for me to fly somewhere new...

     I have a beautiful set of wings. Why not use them?

     This fairy is done thinking about your attention all the time. Done tinking.

     Let me clarify that I'm not flying away from the show.

      I will encourage you to come to my scene; even save you a seat if you express your genuine desire for so.

      But I will not beg for you to purchase a ticket.

     I will not base the success of my show on your attendance.

     The show will carry on whether you stand for an applaud or not.

     While I would certainly enjoy your applaud, I do not need it.

     I do not need anyone's belief for my survival;

     Because I already believe in myself.
