you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way

“I asked chatgpt” well I journeyed to Rivendell to seek council of Elrond Half-Elven, wise among men and wizards alike, and he invited me to a meeting with representatives of all the free peoples of Middle Earth. It turns out that my trouble is but part of the trouble of all the world, the origins of which lie in earlier, grander ages—but none of us stand alone!

Several times on here I've seen the take "I know local theater is bad and cringey, but you have to support it anyway!" And while I understand what they're getting at, I'm always like, why do you assume it's going to be "bad" just because the artists are members of your own community? I just saw a local production of The Importance of Being Earnest and it was HILARIOUS. Everyone was DELIGHTFULLY funny and we thoroughly enjoyed it! There have been so many times I've been greatly moved by "amateur" or student art, and if you can't allow yourself to appreciate anything but "the Best" (and who decides what "the Best" is anyway? This production of "Earnest" was way funnier than the version that Judy Dench and Rupert Everett were in, as deservedly "famous" as they might be) then you are just being a joyless snob. There's beauty and talent all around you. And if that makes me "easy to please," then well... That means I'm pleased more often! And why should I want to apologize for that?

I once caught a local production of Amadeus in a cramped little theatre where Salieri was cast so inappropriately young he looked like a child playing dress-up in his father's clothes and Mozart's actor delivered his manic episodes with such vigor that audience members were catching spittle from the third row, and it was straight up better than the movie.

The best Mr Collins I have ever seen (movies included) was a 12 year old boy in a high school production

"People suck these days, people are so self-centred and rude" OK yes but also, when my grandma died, I had to go to a class that evening, and I was a disgusting snotty mess, all swollen from crying, and the woman at reception asked if I was all right, and I just sort of stammered that my grandma had died a few hours ago, and then she gave me a huge hug and asked me to tell her something about my grandma, so I showed her some photos of my grandma, and she was like "oh my GOD, how is she so cute? Look at her face, she's adorable!!" and she let me tell her stories about my grandma until class started, and then I never saw her again because it was the last class, and it's like... she did not have to do that! She could have just signed me in and ignored the fact that I looked like something that had been dredged out of a river and then thrown under a car! But she did not! And I genuinely think that there are more people who would have done what she did than people who wouldn't.

I was at an estate sale the other day and bought a loveseat. A random man immediately offered to help my husband carry it to the car. While they were trying to get around a corner a random lady started removing the legs so they could get through.

There is so much kindness in the world
