I need the first one. That’s my whole aesthetic.
okay yall listen up
i went and saw the north carolina theatre’s production of newsies today for the second time this week. and i honestly just can’t get over how good it was.
the show as an entire whole was just phenomenal, but i have to talk about my top things about this show.
first of all, jason gotay (aka randall from bring it on) was an amazing jack kelly. i was so impressed with the way he portrayed the character. and can we just take a minute to appreciate the extra riffs he added in santa fe???
secondly, tommy boy was played by a girl. a red head girl for that matter (i’m red headed so that’s why i’m throwing that in there) and she was absolutely incredible. she was my favorite to watch in the ensemble and she was definitely one of the best dancers in the cast.
not gonna lie, daniel plimpton was not my favorite as davey, HOWEVER, davey straight up basically led the tap dancing in king of new york, AND had his very on solo. like home boy can straight up TAP
also, in seize the day during the dance break, one of the most iconic parts of the entire show, they dance ON the papers right?? well, this production did NOT. at first, i was disappointed not gonna lie, but i didn’t hate what they did instead so i was okay with it???
anyway, instead of dancing on top of the ripped papers, they sat/stood on stacks of papers and had rolled up papers and pretty much turned into a drumline where they just turned the papers into drums so that was pretty cool.
so yeah. these are my top favorite things from the nc production of newsies.
there were some things i was bummed they changed, but it’s all good.
over all, this show was so so so so incredibe and it just really made me love it even more.
If you cut me I seep clear aloe vera gel. Like thats it. That’s who you’re dealing with.
i saw this post earlier about therapists and it reminded me of my old therapist paul, who in my opinion is one of the greatest men alive and who did not put up with my bullshit for even one second
anyway i go in to see paul one week in the summer of 2016, and i’m doing my usual bullshit which consists of me talking shit about myself, and paul is staring at me, and then he cuts me off and says that he’s got a new tool for helping people recognize when they’re using negative language, and gets up and goes over to his desk
and i’m like alright hit me with that sweet sweet self-help article my man, because i’m a linguistic learner and whenever paul’s like here i have a tool for you to use it’s pretty much always an article or a book or something
paul opens a drawer, takes something out, and turns back around. i stare.
i say, paul.
is that a nerf gun.
yeah, says paul.
i say, are you gonna shoot me with a nerf gun in this professional setting.
he happily informs me that that’s really up to me, isn’t it. and sits back down. and gestures, like, go ahead, what were you saying?
and i squint suspiciously and start back up about how i’m having too much anxiety to leave the house to run errands, like it was a miracle to even get here, like i’ve forgone getting groceries for the past week and that’s so stupid, what a stupid issue, i’m an idiot, how could i–
a foam dart hits me in the leg.
i go, hey! because my therapist just shot me in the leg. paul blinks at me placidly and raises an eyebrow. i squint again.
i say, slowly, it’s– not a stupid issue, i’m not stupid, but it’s frustrating me and i don’t want it to be a problem i’m having.
no dart this time. okay. sweet.
so the rest of the hour passes with me intermittently getting nailed with tiny foam darts and then swearing and then fixing my language and, wouldn’t you know it, i start liking myself a little more by the end of the session, which is mildly infuriating because paul can tell and he’s very smug about it
anyway i leave his office and the lady having the next appointment walks in and i hear what’s all over the floor? and paul very seriously says cognitive behavioral therapy tools.

PSA
-theres a succulent species called Conophytum burgeri
-it looks like a lump
-when it flowers it looks like this:
-its native to south africa and is endangered
-you can read more about it in a book called Dumpling and his wife (??????)
-that is all
You’re not a shitty person just because some people don’t acknowledge you or appreciate your worth. You matter. You are loved. You’re not defined by what other people think of you. Better yet, why define yourself at all? A definition has limits and boundaries. Seek only to grow, expand, evolve, and change. The right people will persist in your life or appear in due time. Love yourself; focus on yourself; take care of yourself; radiate love, goodness, and kindness; seek knowledge; express gratitude daily; pursue the things that tug at your soul. All else will follow. You’ll be alright. Keep your head up.
