Like you’re on a rollercoaster, 100% of the time

Today I learned so much about myself.

I have to stop letting my problems just boil. I have to face things I’m afraid of.

“Heart that drifts off towards the moon,
It’s gone so soon…”

Come take a walk on the wild side

I felt so proud of my performance tonight. I feel like I nailed all my songs, and I felt more vocally confident than I ever have before. I feel like maybe I’m coming into my own.

I had a moment where I saw my best friends standing with my parents and I was so happy to see them all together, and they were there for me. Everyone so full of love, and standing behind me in the moments in which I am terrified of real life.

I’m still figuring things out. And in the mean time, everything is more vibrant and intense, highlighted by my hopes and fears.

“People will often cry gross over-intellectualisation when popular culture is critically addressed, as if it is somehow exempt from serious consideration because it is itself ‘non-serious’, just a bit of fun that doesn’t require or deserve dissection. I disagree; every expression of art is a product of its environment and as such will reflect the concerns, preoccupations and neuroses of the time. Mainstream entertainment particularly, by its very nature, has to reflect the dominant modes of thinking in order to qualify as mainstream, and in that respect, mass entertainment is even more fun to pick apart.” Simon Pegg
