The Head of a Pin

Six Words: disappointment, quantity, stay, ex, harsh, fairy

Is there a difference between a fairy and an angel? It is a question that I never thought about before getting this list of words, but now I stay up at night thinking about it. The quantity and quality of my sleep has been impacted. I’d like to just ex the thoughts out of my mind, but it doesn’t work that way. You can’t just make yourself stop thinking about something.

It has gotten worse as the days went by. Is asking “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” the same as asking “how many fairies can dance on the head of a pin?” Would the quantity be the same? And remember Tinkerbell? If people didn’t believe in her, she would fade away to nothing. Would it be harsh of me to stop wondering about fairies? Would they fade away too? I don’t want to be the source of disappointment for any of you that do believe in fairies. But I also need to be able to sleep at night.
