When I watched Aladdin as a kid, I always wondered why Jasmine hesitated before taking his hand. I understand now. It opens a door–a door that’s both terrifying to walk through and impossible to close.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCsvw6ZdfV
Everything it’ll mean to take this hand and everything I’ll leave behind whirlwind in my mind. Will I ever be able to come back?842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHnnNqdt8s
I gaze downward. The land below us is a palindrome of the night sky above us. It really does feel like the top of the world.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37IKo7gOoE
The wind is fiercely protective. I battle against it to keep my feet at the edge, even as it shoves me back to safety.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVaOB4O5Js

You’re all that matters.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QxEDiHhNT
I rest my cold fingers on your warm palm. Your hand closes over mine. We look at each other. We look down.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv98fNcZ3d
And we jump.842Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiOcSzyaOd
