It's been a stressful couple of weeks for my family and seeing the magic of Diagon Alley come to life through your photography reminded me that there's so much beauty and magic in the world (even if I know some of it is simulated!), and so much I have left to see and work towards. So, thank you for sharing your beautiful photography, and your adventures, and your life with us. I read Epbot several times a week but very rarely say hello (I have anxiety myself, and interaction is hard) but I just had to say something today.

I haven't been testing it too much, tbh, altho on this trip I spent about 30 minutes on my own while everyone else went on a ride. I was surprised that made me anxious, but I focused on my breathing & taking pictures, and by the end I was actually enjoying walking around on my own.<br /><br />Tomorrow we're going back to the parks & planning to ride some rides, so that'll be another test. I desperately want to go on E.T., since I haven't been in more years than I can remember, so I'm hoping the extra moral support will carry me through. (It really helps to have extra friends along for the distraction.) Send me some positive vibes, K?

Since it was our first time there, it was extra special, because we didn't know about the special effects. And yes, we totally shelled out the money for the wand that picked him!
