there’s something to the juxtaposition of 30/90 by Jonathan Larson who turned 30 in 1990 and 30 by Bo Burnham who was born in 1990 and both of them writing songs on the dread of aging and all that like i’m too tired to properly work out the entire thought but there’s something

ANDREW GARFIELD as Jonathan Larson you will always be famous. (via Letterboxd)

[im-jesus]

A friendly reminder from one artist to another; RENT was a discarded idea. RENT was something Jonathan Larson came up with and forgot. And it changed the world.

That rough draft you have, that stupid idea you had three years ago? That could alter someone’s brain chemistry. You could change the world.

You could change the world.

Please don’t give up. Please don’t stop writing. Please don’t stop drawing. Please don’t stop making music. Please don’t stop thinking those beautiful, terrifying thoughts that live inside your mind. Because you’re incredible.

And if some random guy waiting tables in SoHo can alter the minds of a nation, then why can’t you?

And don’t give me some crap about you being too old, either. He was in his thirties when RENT got its funding. He was dead before opening night.

Moral of the story is this; it’s never too late. Even after you’re gone, you will continue to change the world. You mean something, your art means something.

You could change the world.
