A Girl and Her Wonderland

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who seemed to be eternally stuck in a Wonderland, a micro environment of sorts, in which the rules of the outside world didn’t apply. There was no sadness or negativity and there was just fun to be had among oversaturated colours. 

She starts the day by sitting on her favourite ride, the magical carousel that spins round and round till she was dizzy with happiness. The sparkly lights and golden interior was enough to transport her into a fairytale.
