I've been meaning to write this post for quite some time because thoughts about what to write for this have been on my mind for a while, but I just haven't had the time to write it until now. I wanted to make sure I had plenty of time to write this blog because I want to give credit where credit is due and make sure I say everything I need to say without rushing or messing anything up.
That being said, now that you think I'm going to write about something important and mind-boggling, I want to talk about how incredible Disney is. (not joking).
This past Monday, we were out of school because of bad weather and I was stuck at home working on some homework. Not the most fun thing ever. I began to get a headache and was having trouble focusing, so I decided to pop in a classic Disney movie. I went with Mulan since it's all about girl power and has some of the best music ever (such as I'll Make a Man Out Of You). It's times like these when I realize just how incredible Disney is (talking about the one and only Walt Disney himself and his company). It's something that you can't really describe, because frankly it's just magic, but the way they can tell a story and make you feel like you're really there, it's just...incredible. One of the things I love most about Disney is the music. Oh, the beautiful music. Every time I listen to "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," I get goosebumps. Of course that happens to me with several indescribably wonderful pieces of music, but no matter how many times I listen to a good Disney song, this happens. Honestly, there is no way for me to explain just how many great things Walt Disney has done because this blog would be too long to read and I would rant so ridiculously much that you may start to lose me. When I start talking about something I love, I tend to go into a little world of my own where my imagination roams free. But I will add this one little fact that I love....Walt Disney is afraid of mice. It's true. Some of you reading this may have known that, but I think it's just so cool. I think this is a sign of pure genius. Taking something that scares you and turning it into something magical and fun. And I believe this is a lesson that everyone can use throughout life. No matter how old you get, you will always be afraid of something. And the best way to conquer these fears is by making the most of it. Looking fear right in the face and saying, "HA. Nice try." Also, it's better if you realize that you don't really ever have to grow up. Not really. As long as you love and believe in the magic of imagination deep down in your heart.
