Once upon a time,

there was a woman who didn't have any idea what to do with her life. Other people seemed to be able to pick directions, find some purpose or something to do in the meantime. She drifted along, just dealing with each crisis as it came along, or dealing with whatever other goad to action could awaken her from her soporific stupor. She knew a lot of people felt this way, but no one seemed as cut off from the rest of humanity as she did. Of course, there were thousands just like her throughout that fairy kingdom.
