Simply Shelby.
And so begins the charming story of a darling, little girl.
She's a little girl with a big heart.
Everything she says ends softer than it starts.
So few of her sentences end in exclamation marks.

I'm a firm believer that words are worthless without realisation.
It's something not even the most elegant of words woven together could ever redeem.

"Magic has to be believed. That's the only way it's real."
-Captain Crewe, the father of a little princess

If I am honest,
I would have to tell you that
I still read faerie-tales
And that I like them best of all.

Good day, my friends.
Pull up your favourite chair, pour yourself a cuppa piping hot tea, and tuck into my musings.
