Light

Light is something we see every day. Something we need to be able to see at all. But how much do we really think about light? I didn't hardly at all until I went to Anaheim. There I fell in love with light. I fell in love with the way sunrise came slowly, softly, showing everything in delicate pastels, and gradually allowing colors to come to their full potential. I fell in love with the daytime light, with the way everything was shown by the hazy sun subtly, gently, not brashly or harshly, just simply. And mostly, I fell in love with sunset. Sunsets there are pure magic. There's always a few clouds that turn the brightest pinks and oranges and then the softest most gorgeous dusty rose color just as the sun sinks. And the sunsets make everything glow. Especially the castle though. The castle catches all the light it's given and reflects it so perfectly. It's hard to even describe, so luckily I captured it one day with my camera.

Isn't it just perfect? The way the light softens and bounces of the castle?

It's like the soft perfect ending of a fairy tale.

Somehow Disney has paid off the sun to make their park look perfect constantly. But especially at sunset I think so then you remember the perfection and glow of happiness you saw during the day. Just look how beautiful the Matterhorn and Tea Cups look! This day was gorgeous and simply breathtaking. They are bittersweet to look at and just make me want to go back so bad I can barely stand staying home one more second.

That may be my favorite picture I took at Disneyland.

Except for the lady's head in the corner.... :/

I was driving home a week or two ago and the light was just like the glowing perfect Anaheim sunsets. It was brilliant and beautiful and I cried I was so moved. (I cry easy if you never noticed.) It made me want to run, fly, skip, drive, ride, anything to get back to Disneyland as quickly as possible to see the beauty again in the place that in belongs in my memory.

I hope the light inside me and the light of my life is much like the light of Anaheim. Soft, glowing, forgiving of faults, yet illuminating of truth, and ending in brilliant beauty and perfect peace.

30DC Day 18

Plans/Dreams/Goals you have:

Plans:

Get back to Disneyland sometime in May. If that doesn't work out,then this fall. (I refuse to go when it's busy.)

Figure out my next step.

Dreams:

I'd love to go on America's Next Top Model.

I want to be famous. Not just to be famous, but to help other people and be an inspiration and an example. It's kinda dumb, but it's true.

Goals:

Get out of debt. Car debt, credit card, etc.

30DC Day 14

A picture of something you ate:

I forgot to take a picture and forgot to post this day.

I think I had a tuna fish sandwich with Dill Pickle hunks in it.

But I'm not sure. But that's something I would eat.

Yup.

30DC Day 17

Someone you would like to switch lives with for one day and why:

Oh there are SO many people I'd like to switch lives with for one day and for so many reasons. But one comes to mind the quickest.

Danielle Deleasa.

She's married to Kevin Jonas in reality and it would be interesting to see what that would be like. But I'd like to still have my body. I'm not very fond of her looks.

30DC Day 16

Something you could live without:

That's a funny question to ask...but I think I could live without....Oh I don't know...I could live without bananas. In fact I do. :)

30DC Day 15

Put your iPod on shuffle and share the first 10 songs that play:

1) Shattered Backstreet Boys (Yes I still listen to them. Frequently in fact.)

2) Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' Michael Jackson

3) The Call Backstreet Boys (See?)

4) Walk In The Sun McFly (I listened to this song 40 times in a row one night. I love this song)

5) Forever & Always Taylor Swift

6) The Last Song McFly

7) All I Ask of You Phantom of the Opera (Secretly I want to be proposed to with this song)

8) Sunburn Owl City

9) Black Keys Jonas Brothers (This song makes me cry. I'm so much like the girl in the song and it just hits home)

10) Enchanted Taylor Swift (One day I will be enchanted to meet someone and hopefully he'll be enchanted to meet me. I LOVE this song. Especially the "Please don't be in love with someone else. Please don't have someone waiting on you." That part pulls my heartstrings.)

My iPod's really good at shuffling. I promise I didn't cheat :)

30DC Day 13

Write a letter telling someone something you could never tell them:

Dear Kelsey,

I'm sorry. You were a good friend to me in a time that I needed you. I'm sorry for hurting you and for cutting you out of my life. I miss the laughter we shared and the secrets. I think of you often, but can't get over my pride enough to actually talk to you myself. I'm sorry for that. I feel like I just used you and when you branched out was selfish and wanted you only for myself. I reacted poorly and I'm sorry. You were so sweet to me and were a Godsend in my life. Thank you. Every time I hear Metro Station I think of you. I remember our Jonas Brothers concert together and sobbing over Sense and Sensibility together afterward.

Thank you for all your help and for carrying through that rough time.

I'm sorry.
