If I were a Disney song

Random,but so true!

A Whole New World

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Finding Neverland

Peter Pan Syndrome: “Puer Aeternus is Latin for eternal child, used in mythology to designate a child-god who is forever young; psychologically it refers to an older man whose emotional life has remained at an adolescent level, usually coupled with too great a dependence on the mother. The puer typically leads a provisional life, due to the fear of being caught in a situation from which it might not be possible to escape. He covets independence and freedom, chafes at boundaries and limits, and tends to find any restriction intolerable.”

As you study and deal with children you come to understand their behavior, you try to see the world trough their little eyes and open minds, it’s a beautiful, innocent and colorful world that we’ve all seen someday. As you watch them grow up, you can still see faces and traces of what they were as a little child, some were gone and some will probably be in them forever. It was proven that the first four years in a child’s life is where they build their personality and values, everything they taste, touch and experience will be with them for the rest of their lives, even if they cannot remember, it’s there and it makes a huge difference.

Most of us here heard about Peter Pan, the boy that never wanted to grow up, so he ran away from home and found Neverland where he could always be whoever he wanted to be, it’s one of my very favorite books, that being said I very much relate to this book, I didn’t want to grow up, I loved being a kid and everything about my childhood, even the smell of it bring me nostalgia. Well I got over this feeling; I had to grow up, to face the world and whatever it brings me. But I often find myself thinking back and smiling, I can’t let go.

As for now, being a so called grown up sucks in many ways, having to figure out life is as scary as anything, not knowing what is going to happen, as exciting as can be, is also frightening, as bold as you can be in this life I believe everyone still needs a hug, a pat on their back, and someone to tell them “it’s going to be okay, tomorrow is another day, just go to sleep now”. And when we understand that there’s still a lot of the kid that we were, inside all of us, we will then begin to see the world in a simpler way again and accept our down sides, and just be whoever we are.

That is, until we each find our neverland.

The more I know people…

Ever since I was a little girl I’ve had a tendency to isolation. Not the emo-cut-my-wrist-open kind of drama, but I’d often play by myself, my own games, my own rules, no one to point the finger, mess up my coloring crayons or win over me. And I was happy, just like that. There were times, of course, that I would play with other kids but I had no problem, and actually preferred playing alone.
As I grew up things changed a bit, but I am still very picky with anyone I let in my life, most only see the surface and I can count on my fingers who really knows me, as I really am. I don’t believe I am a hard to like person, I’m actually very easygoing and cool with everyone, as long as you don’t off me, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. It's always more friendly in two...

As life goes on and you lose your innocence, you figure out that not everyone that came closer to you was your friend, not everyone was at your side, and that few would stand up and remain by you when you need most. You also learn, that you will most definitely not be able to please everybody that come your way, and you will then stop trying, and let go. It’s still hard for me to let down the people I love, but I’ve learned to do it, as harsh as it is, it’s completely okay to say NO, to please you for a change. That’s the rule I go by these days. I see who I want and get out of my way only for the people that really matters. I am who I am, certainly not changing for anybody so love me or leave me.

Good thing is, you’ll bump into the ones that will stick, in the stickiest way, down deep in your heart, ones that will be your friends, your right hand, for whenever and wherever you need them. And those few are the ones that still make you believe in smiling to a stranger on the streets, to get out of your way to help out someone you don’t know very well, to give it a chance, to meet new and different people, because you never know the ones that will stick and the ones that will fade…here’s for the real friends out there, that love you for who you are! I know I am lucky enough to have them in my life!

“What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
and I'll try not to sing out of key…”

What goes around

Dear 2010 be good to me. That’s what everyone is asking about…there’s nothing different than a week before but it’s a brand new year and like a white sheet of paper in front of you, it’s time to get writing! Just like the first day of school when you have all the new pens and pencils and you want your notebook to be so pretty and neat, just like the feelings of most people when we turn to a brand new year. And may it be good to all of us.

The first day of 2010 for me was a kick in the pants, hangover and I remember tequila…I also remember thinking where I was last year January first and if I ever thought I’d be standing here a year later. Truth is I did, waking up in Vancouver to a brand new year of open doors, opportunities and brand new things is where I wanted to be, so here I am. Needless to say the plan remains the same, almost a year closer to the project of my life, I have a feeling this year will fly by…

If there was one thing that last year taught me is that things come around, they come full circle, but they also come in the right time. Most of them you’ll have to get off your bum and fight for, they won’t just knock at your door, but when you get it, the feeling you’ll have when holding in your hands, it’s pretty much as if the world stopped for a second. Some are just not meant to be, it doesn’t matter how many times you knock at the same door, if it’s not your door it won’t open, and try not to knock it down because you’re just going to get hurt, and then there’s those things that just come your way, because you needed it, because it was time or just because they realized that what goes around it’s almost always not the real truth.

It’s been a very warm winter up in the west coast, some days are sunny and you breathe in get out of the house and remind yourself why you’re actually here so it lasts for when the rain hits hard, it’s been pouring…but still not enough to make me fly South, maybe only for three weeks *sigh* ta ta!

And I thank YOU God for every single brand new day I wake up to

because I know that I only AM because of YOU.
