THIS HAPPENED ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND I’M STILL IN SHOCK

I WAITED 2 HOURS IN LINE. My friend and I were the first in line. We met some really nice people. We also had to fight for our spots because people eventually cut us in line. I didn’t go down without a fight tho. I called out two ladies for being rude and inconsiderate of us, who had waited a really long time in the cold. HIS EYES ARE SO BLUE! And he was so sweet because he went down the entire line, mostly signing for fans. I’m pretty sure he overlooked me because (a) people constantly jammed things for him to sign RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE (b) i’m short as fuck (c) i probably looked like a fangirl since i left my Playbill at school. Forever grateful to the girl I befriended for calling him out and saying, “WHAT ABOUT HER?! She’s been waiting over an hour!” I know he didn’t do it on purpose. HIs face said it all, like “Oh snap.” He looked at me and walked towards me for a pic. When he was done signing things (down the ENTIRE line), he walked back to the stage door and made eye contact with me (and the couple of others who were left) and said BYE.

Everyone is dying, everything is dying, and the earth is dying also, eaten up by the sun and the wind. I don’t know where I get the courage to keep on living in the midst of these ruins. Let us love each other to the end.

my soul is happy

it has been a while since i last wrote something on here. it seems like all i do is browse and reblog things.

anyway, i had a really empowering spring break! i had never been to nyc before, but the scholarship program at my school arranged for 5 other students and me to stay in NYC for spring break. to be specific, we stayed with georgetown alumni and their families in or outside of new york. 

i remember thinking i would be overwhelmed by the fast-paced nature of the city or the fact that i’d be exploring on my own for the majority of the trip. instead, i found myself loving the city’s energy and being able to do my thing, at my own pace. 

my personal favorite day was last wednesday because i treated myself to TWO musicals -- Sunday in the Park with George AND Miss Saigon! I impulsively bought a front-row ticket for Sunday in the Park with George because of Jake Gyllenhaal. I was surprised by his amazing singing voice. I loved being able to see the intensity in his BRIGHT BLUE EYES. Annaleigh was amazing too! this musical hit me deeply because one of the major themes was concentration -- on the now instead of fixating on the past or future. Very important reminder at this point in my life tbh. ALSO, a memorable quote is when Marie says, 'There are only two worthwhile things to leave behind when you depart this world: children and art.' This hit me hard because my dad recently passed away. despite the fact that i’m not a parent myself, it reminded me of all the sacrifices my dad made and how everything he did was for his family, especially his wife and kids.

Then, at 8 pm, I saw Miss Saigon! i first saw it in London, where i fell in love with it. Since then, I’ve been listening to the soundtrack on spotify. I even saw the special screening of the final London performance in theaters last year. Basically, I’m in love with this musical because it makes me feel A LOT. And, well, this Broadway performance was cleansing. I went by myself, so i was able to cry and laugh. I sat in the aisle seat in the 5th row, on the right-hand side of the stage. I HAD AN AMAZING VIEW and was able to see the sparkle in their eyes. After the performance, I waited by the stage door and met the cast. Beyond being amazingly talented, they’re incredibly sweet too! They all, including the leads, took the time to interact with fans. They didn’t just sign or take pictures. They truly tried to connect. 

My soul is happy.

I feel like something in me has been awoken. i’m already looking to see if i can go back sometime soon or maybe do an internship over the summer.
