As you go on and on in life, more and more people will want to put you in a box and define you based upon the outer labels that you carry--your religion, your physical appearance, your occupation and wealth, your class, your nationality, etc. etc. Imagination scares people because it can't be put in a box so easily; the old labels just don't fit.
But if you have imagination, you can break through those boxes and make your own definition, one that is much closer to the feelings in your soul. So, go ahead and be an Elf, or whatever. Even if you decide someday you're not an Elf, or you get busy with other things and forget to be an Elf, a piece of that will still be with you in your everyday life.
The hobbit in me comes and goes, according to where I am in life and what my goals and dreams are at a particular point, but she's always there, ready to be taken out again.
