Wicked

So tonight I had the chance to go to Wicked with my dad. Now see here's the thing with that musical, even though it's dark and it's twisted and it's all things Oz, it's also awesome. I've been so fortunate since moving home that I get to do fun stuff like go to Wicked with my dad. As I sat there, I couldn't help thinking about how Wicked has played into my life. For those of who you weren't there in college, Defying Gravity was one of my main sing a long (in the car, in my room, on the fockey bus, whenever I needed it. I felt invincible every time it came on my iPod. I felt that no matter what was going on, eventually I'd work through it, rise to the top and feel better. It also was one of my escape songs when I was headed home because of the line, " If you care to find me, look to the western sky". I mean duh, I live west of ALL my friends so that line always made me happy. During that song, as it was happening, literally my whole body tingled. It was as if I had faith in myself again, like the actress was singing directly to me. Please be aware I know I was at the Buell and very much a part of the audience. But it didn't matter. For about 5 minutes, nothing else in the world mattered. I was happily reminding myself of everything I can do. I felt like no matter what this year brings I can survive. So thanks dad (and mom for getting the tickets)... I was happily reminded that I am capable.
