Alright this is going to be long but I'm full of feelings rn so bear with me. Here's the thing about #Hamilton and why I'm so in love...
I listen to Hamilton, or I watch a quick vid about it, and I'm filled with so much emotion. It empowers me, it offers escape from the world, it taught me about love and courage and passion and forgiveness, it lead me down a path and I'm so bloody proud that through it I remember this amazing man who was never given much attention beforehand.
Now whenever I need to accomplish something I say "like Hamilton would tell me how that isn't amazing.
And the people, THE PEOPLE involved in the OBC are truly my heroes. So much so that I see them anywhere else and get shivers and this feeling in my stomach that drives me to tears because these are the people whom I idolize and they're real and beautiful, who do things in the real world and it's like I can feel their auras jump and brighten everything around.
Renee Elise Goldsberry taught me how to empower myself, how failure is a given but it doesn't define us
Lin-Manuel Miranda taught me the importance of continuing on, even when everyone says it's crazy or laughs
GOD I can't even begin to touch HOW MUCH this musical is and means to me, I've but scratched the surface of the people and the lessons...
So it isn't just a musical, it isn't going to pass, it's not going to mean LESS as I grow older if anything it's going to change my life
There was something inside me that I never knew about and because of #Hamilton I've found it. It has woven it's way into my very being and I'd not have it any other way. It changed my life in ways that can't be imagined.
Ive never felt anything like the inspiration that Hamilton brings to me, I've never felt so empowered and touched by people both real and characters, I truly believe that this musical is a pivotal point in my life of self-discovery and I'm so grateful for it. So thank you for the emotions, the appreciation, the love, that you've given me.
And, everyone out there, you may not know my name yet but I promise that one day you will.
