‘This was my first but not my last. I was a very young child and was smelling the flowers in my backyard. I touched a flower and it immediately closed (not typical for this flower). But I saw a flash of tiny light behind the flower. Went inside and later that night I started to see like lights randomly. Even to this day I can be sitting on my porch and I’ll see a little spark of light here or there.’ ‘Yellow light.’ ‘I am in love with all fairy folk.’
