The Forest That Remembered Her Name

They say the forest remembers those who truly believe in magic.

Once, it remembered me.

I was just a girl who talked to stars and whispered my dreams to fireflies. I believed that trees could listen, and that the moon had secrets it only told those who stayed up late enough to hear them.

People in my village called me the Fairy Girl.

And maybe they were right — because wherever I went, flowers seemed to bloom faster, and sadness didn’t last too long.

But one summer night, the fireflies didn’t come.

The trees didn’t sway when I sang.

The moon hid behind the clouds, and the stars refused to shine.

I thought the magic had left me.

So I stopped visiting the forest.

And little by little, the forest forgot my name.

Years passed. Life became louder, heavier, harder.

Until one day, I walked back to those same woods — older, quieter, but still carrying a tiny spark of wonder.

I placed my hand on the old oak tree and whispered,

“Do you still remember me?”

For a moment, there was only silence.

And then — a single firefly appeared.

Then another.

And another.

Until the whole forest glowed again.

And in the soft hum of light and wind, I heard it —

a whisper, gentle and sure:

“We never forgot.”

That night, I realized something.

Magic never truly leaves us.

It only waits for us to believe again.
