Drinking Around the World
Not the Real One. I am talking about the World Showcase at Epcot.
Who doesn't love going to the happiest place on Earth on vacation, right? With lots of people around, the heat, the screaming kids, the non-stop music, the hour long lines and the not so cheap souvenirs and snacks, it all sounds like a dream or more like a nightmare come true, especially if you are traveling with ten more people that you barely see throughout the year, including your three-year-old nephew that wants to take pictures with every single character there is. The good news is that there is a park designed specially for adults to have a great time and forget about how stressful holidays are and that is Epcots' World Showcase.
In case you have never heard of it, which is hard to believe if you are planning a vacation to Walt Disney World, the World Showcase is this magical place made up by 11 different pavilions where within a few steps, you can travel from country to country and experience its unique architecture, traditions, cuisine and (drumroll, please) drinks.
But if course, if it is your first, third, or tenth time visiting EPCOT, it is always difficult to choose the best drinks and not spending more than 200 dollars. Some of my recommendations are from past experiences and from friends and family that have been visiting the park for more than ten years, so I don't want to say my recommendations are a guarantee but at least I can say I've tried all of them and survived, and so has my bank account.
The best way to start is from left to right or in other words the first pavilion should be Mexico and the last one Canada. So let's start drinking around the world.

Survival of the Fittest
Losing you was realizing fairy tales are not real. There was nothing else I could do to bring you back. Nothing was going to be magically fixed, not this time. I started feeling something inside my chest, like a balloon that kept growing with toxic air just waiting to pop and cause a chaos inside me. My heart felt as if it was being crushed by a thousand tiny rocks, each of them with a promise you made written with golden letters. I started loosing my voice in a sea of lies, the tide was confusing, I couldn't tell anymore which ones were yours and which ones were mine. I lost hope in people but not because of you, but because of my incapability of leaving you earlier even though you were hurting me. In the end I survived, we always do, it is one of the advantages of being human. But I wasn't the same, something was missing and it wasn't you or your ability of making me think that I needed your validation. In the end I lost the part of myself that believes in people and I started walking with my guard up, my head high and thinking about myself first.

Brain Hack
Learning is a multifaceted endeavor, influenced by an interplay of cognitive, emotional, and physiological factors. At its core lies neuroplasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to rewire and adapt in response to experiences. This phenomenon underpins our capacity to acquire new knowledge, develop skills, and navigate the complexities of the world around us.

TICK TOCK
11.59. Even though the glass had shattered, Lorna could still see that her watch ticked over. One minute until midnight. Her watch was the only thing she had that she could carry. The only thing to remember her parents by. A birthday present from last year, the year she turned seventeen.
