i know i'm bad at this

but the moment's all too right. another bit of my life is winding down, as i commemorate one that wound down before it. On this, the occasion of both my RENTiversary and the culmination of my time as a student of these city streets (that was NOT meant to sound ghetto...), I'm contemplative. Since my last blog, the happy one, I have picked a path. It happens to be that one I was happy about.

I've already blogged "Without You," So instead I shall offer two short, sweet songs from the musical RENT. As I think about how much that show, and Broadway changed my life, my heart grows heavy with love and thoughts. I would not be who I am today without RENT, that much I am sure of. It helped me find this world that is Broadway. Once I moved outside the boundaries of 241 West 41st. St, I tasted a world of art, ripe for me to enjoy, take in, give back to. That world has become my home, and I'm glad to be here.

It's a bittersweet symphony, this life.





I try to live everyday with intention and joy, and I think this show is a lot of what made me start.

Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.
Give in to love, or live in fear.
What a lyrically astute and touching game of would you rather. I certainly know my choice.

No Day But Today
