why aladdin

Do you know why, when anything halloween comes up, my first thought is Aladdin? Because you were Jasmine, and you were jaw dropping. My first thought is not aladdin. Its not the silly pants or the little hat. Its the braid, and the tanned skin, and the demure smile you wore. It was you. You are why I go to Aladdin.
There a thousand small ways that you have influenced my world. The memories I hold are only the ones I connect with you. 
I love the hunchback of note dame cartoon movie, always have. But after knowing you, it is my favorite, because you ARE Esmerelda. Beauty and fire and sass. You would rather burn than wilt.
There is a whole world out there untouched by you, but it is not a world I've ever wanted to see, because it would lack all the colors I love so much, the smells that bring me joy and peace, the sites that send my heart soaring. 
You are the color, and the warmth, and the light that turns Grey and dreary winter into vibrant and renewing spring. 
So yes Aladdin is my first thought on my costume, becaus Jasmine was yours.
