Disney world (pirates and pals)

    Ok so yesterday was amazing, even though today I'm completely drained, and sore. As the title states, yes I die make it to Disney World, and why no I didn't go in to an actual theme park I managed to explore and have an excellent day.
    I started off in downtown Disney shopping district (Tip: free admission as well as free parking!) the first store I went to was D-street the vinylmation store, and instead of buying a new one I had simply brought one of the ones I owned but didn't like too much and was able to trade it! I ended up with a 40th anniversary one it was very nice. After that I looked in the art stores that have amazing paintings and reprints as well as sculptures. Finally I got to go in the days of Christmas store (it's a seasonal shop, yet it remains open all year and has every holiday item you could want. 
    After that I headed to the busses and visited some of the resorts: contemporary they had abeautiful Christmas tree made entirely of gingerbread. Grand Floridian was a very elegant old time resorts their tree displayed bird cages it was interesting, but it worked. Behind the tree though was an actual gingerbread house, one you could walk through! I haft to fight the urge to take a bite lol. 
    After that I went back to downtown via bus and went into the world of Disney store the largest Disney store in the world (I was gpod and just window shopped lol). I was starving at this point so I made my way over to planet hollywood where I had the best chicken I've had in awhile , and yes I had a huge dessert. After I needed a break so I decided to sit in front of the fountain and I noticed a group of people my age, yet they were all signing. Honestly thought it was cool. 
    Anyway I got a wrong bus and ended up at port Orleans didn't have much time since my right bus came as soon as I got off, and it took me to Epcot. Got my picture in front of the ball, and hoped on the monorail back to contemporary.
    There I was taking part in the pirate and palls firework voyage. Once I got there I checked in and a small group of ppl including myself went into a room where icecream, cake, cotton candy, beverages, and a few other snacks were waiting just for us. After everyone had started eating Captain Hook and Mr. Smee came out to meet us. Then after everyone had got their pictures we split up into two groups team hook or team Smee (I was in Smee). Then we went to the docks where we all boarded 1 of 2 boats. The boats took us out into the seven seas lagoon where we got to watch the electrical water pageant up close. Then we kept on they sang songs and had pirate trivia. But then we stopped right in front of the Magic Kingdom just in time for a waterside viewing of the firework show! It was amazing!then the boats made their way back to the docks, but there was one surprise left. We were told to close our eyes and believe in magic and then Peter Pan appeared on the docks waiting for us. Once everyone disembarked we all went and got to meet Peter (that has been on my Disney bucket list for a looong time!). 
    Then it was time to say goodbye and grab a bus back to downtown and get to my car then finally I made my way home 
    Thinking back about all I did and was able to do I was very thankful. I'm getting better a little each day and while I'm not 100% great I'm getting stronger, and aren't letting anything hold me back from living!

The way we are

    I honestly hate the way people are taught to act. Our world showcases the famous, the people who look good. If you aren't a celebrity or good looking your told you won't get anything in life. People hire based on looks, the tv shows we watch are all ful of people who the media have deemed exceptional. Yet when you look around at your own life it can seem dull and empty compared to what is shown.
    Let's be honest though, at least I will. I wish I looked better I wish I was slimmer, had less fat around my face, and if like a few muscles. We all wish for things about us we could have improved, honestly I think everyone does, even if some keep it secret.
    I don't think looks should be the center point in what controls the world. Everyone holds value equal to all others no one is above anyone else, just like no one is below anyone else. In this day and and age if you don't look a certain way we give up on certain people because we  see ourselves as not good enough for them, or they could never want us. Why does it have to be that way? Why can't it not only be like that in the movies and tv shows, why can't reality be just as good? 
    People need to learn that looks don't matter, not everyone can control how they look and you shouldn't. People are perfect the way they are. If we all looked the same, it'd be pretty dull lol.

Gifts throughout Christmas time

    Well I just recieved my first gift of the season!! And it was given to me by one of my best friends (which says a lot outside my family I haven't recieved a gift that were just sincere). Honestly it was one of the best gifts I've recieved. It was a wallet, and a hat. To some people that may not seem like much, but to me it's awesome. They are personal items that I can use daily.
    As for me when I go shopping for other people I love trying to find gifts like that. Things that they can use and are personal. Not things that are fun and amusing at parties, yet get thrown out a week after Christmas. 
    Gift cards are a last minute go to gift in my opinion they lack personality and basically say I couldn't take time to think for you. They are nice don't get me wrong but they are truly impersonal gifts. Yet at the same time they can be just what someone truly wanted (I'd never turn one down)
    All in all remember that the best thing you can give someone is your time, trust me the people who you care about most would love that.
