Not until we're lost do we begin to find ourselves

I’ll be there some day, I can go the distance.

This is an uber long post, but I don’t care. All of this needs to be said.

Today was a good day. I wore purple striped socks, I’m nearly finished with my ap theory composition, and, I’m officially going to be student conductor next year! I was quite miffed about some of the other officer placements.. so I cried then did my daily work out and ran a sub-8 minute mile.

The drama banquet was utterly phenomenal. The sense of unity within the drama family is impeccable. It’s such a relief to have found a place where I belong. Tonight made me realize that I’ve finally found where I belong; I just wish I had done the musical my freshman year… I probably would have stuck with drama then too..

I received an award from Fallon tonight. It’s crazy that she has so much faith in me. She’s impeccable. My goodness, I’m going to miss the hell out of our seniors. Lindsey and Kirsten, where do I begin. They are so talented and majestic and loving and I just hope that I can follow in their footsteps. Caitlynn and Cecily.. I never had class with them, but they both are such wonderful people. Caitlynn’s speech was absolutely heart-wrenching. She talked about how amazing high school theatre is and that in the end, all we’ll have left are the amazing memories and we’ll have to let go of everything else. That’s what makes it so special though.

I had made it half way down Bella’s driveway when the waterworks started going. They just wouldn’t stop. Not on the entire ride home, driving around my neighborhood twice, or even in my own driveway. I Can Go the Distance from Hercules describes my life. 

Next year is going to be full of opportunity.. I’ll be finding my way back into the fabulous world of theatre. I am on my way, I can go the distance..

Tonight was a great night. I can’t even really describe how so incredibly grateful I am to have gifted friends who have the desire and passion for performing. I can’t even.
