Remember how she’d wake up every morning with no routine to follow.

Remember how she didn’t need to plan out each day the night before.

She never scheduled her hair routine around her weekly plans.

She never ruminated over every interaction she had. 

 

This girl was capable of anything.

Her mind looked at life like it was a gift.

A gift that was yet to be opened.

And although she thought what was inside would sparkle and shine,

this gift was only going to play tricks on her mind.

She wondered if it would sing to her, maybe give her wonderful abilities to do wonderful things.

 

 

But no. 

 

 

This gift should’ve never been given to you.

Because it’s not really a gift at all.

Once you opened it, it opened a window to a world you should’ve never seen.

It’s not one where fairies hide under mushrooms or whisper in your ear.

It’s not one where things come easily, or when you wish, they appear. 

 

 

I’m sorry you thought this gift was the fairy you never found.

Just remember how it felt to not know.

Remember who you were before this gift was shown. 

I looked at the font of the text , what they said, where the text was placed and what colours they used.

1.I found similar fonts to use in my works to these magazines

2.Noticed that the titles often disappeared behind them or objects, so I replicated that

3.Read how ‘enticing’ and ‘persuasive’ their use of wording was and how they appealed to women

I used these qualities of magazine covers when editing my photos, but instead mocked the stereotypical 

exaggerated phrases commonly used in them.
