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.790Please respect copyright.PENANAOhCnCKdJRH
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?790Please respect copyright.PENANAkSRtvlFi5c
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.790Please respect copyright.PENANAYV02KNrq9P
The wind is fiercely protective. I battle against it to keep my feet at the edge, even as it shoves me back to safety.790Please respect copyright.PENANACwizOG35hq

I look up. Our eyes meet. There’s another gust of wind, sweeping away my every thought. All that matters is you and your eyes and your hand. It’s worth leaving everything behind.790Please respect copyright.PENANAmVdaUdtGHX
You’re all that matters.790Please respect copyright.PENANAu3SSy7UVO8
I rest my cold fingers on your warm palm. Your hand closes over mine. We look at each other. We look down.790Please respect copyright.PENANAEiGQSukhTu
And we jump.790Please respect copyright.PENANArLbC4QdMTL
