Hi, guys. I'm new to the forum. I'm sorry to just jump in, but I have a lot going on.
My name's Elaine, but most people call me the Lady of Shalott, or sometimes the Fairy. I've lived on this little island in the middle of a river in a tower my whole life. There's a curse- I think- that if I ever look out at Camelot, I'll die. So I mostly just spent time weaving, using a mirror to help, and trying not to die.
But then I fell in love.
And, well, ever since I left the tower I feel like I'm in a boat with no one steering. I don't think he knows that I exist and I'm scared. What if I die out here? What if I was better off up there? What if the birds destroy all my tapestries while I'm gone?
I'm starting to think I was better off up in the tower. Out here in the real world- it's like my blood is turning to ice.

I'm so sorry about what happened to you. But we should listen to Penelope- you're better off now.
That scared feeling? I feel it all the time. I've been out of my tower for over a year now and I still feel that way. It's normal, and we can get through it together.

I've been out of my tower for over a year now and I still feel that way. It's normal, and we can get through it together. Honestly, what I'm worried about is that I won't be alive a year from now. Curse, remember? What if, right now, my eyes are darkening and the curse is taking me? I know worrying never does any good, but I can't help it. |

Rapunzel giving away person info is against the rules. But I think the thing is, you can't look for magical solutions to these things. Magic makes everything worse- you think it's going to save your life and then it steals everything you love. If this is a curse, you need to accept it and move on. |

Magic is so simple! |
