An Open Thank You Letter To Walt Disney
Jonathan Tony

Dear Mr. Disney,

I do not think you know how much your hard work truly paid off. So many things have been accomplished since you have been gone. You started an amazing company that truly is magical.

I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for never giving up your dream, no matter how many times you failed. Through all the debt and bankruptcy, your vision never once changed. You still believed that one day, you will make it. You made it possible to believe in anything, to keep being a dreamer. The dreams you dreamt came true. It may have taken a lot for those dreams to become a reality, but they did.

Thank you for making it possible to do the impossible. You never once gave up and I look up to you for that. You did the impossible. You had multiple people tell you that you would fail and that it was a silly dream that will never become a reality. They didn't believe in your dream but that didn't stop you from trying. It is hard to have people you love not believe in your dreams, but you stuck with it no matter what they said. You kept your head high wanting to prove yourself to them. You definitely showed all of those people.

Thank you for making an amazing company that I have learned to grow to love every day. I cannot begin to tell you how much different life would be if Walt Disney Company was never a thing. There wouldn't be much happiness or magic in the world. When I watch a Disney movie, it is full of inspiration and magic that makes me want to dream the wildest dream. Every time I walk into a Disney park, my breath is truly taken away. When people says it's the most magical place on earth, they are NOT lying. It's like no place I have ever been before. You forget about reality and you are the happiest you have ever been. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love that place. You have made these parks feel like home to millions of people. You have made trillions happy. I cannot thank you enough for that. You have made my childhood never ending. You have made it possible to keep trying no matter how many times one may fail.

Thank you for making it possible to achieve our dreams.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
