hello 2017!
OMG CUTE
MERRICK.
Yorktown
This is magical
The Hamilton posts on my dash left me with a vague desire to see the show if the opportunity ever arose. But this. I pressed play, and at a minute and 20 seconds into this video, I paused it, opened iTunes, and downloaded the soundtrack. What the fuck is this. I didn’t ask for this.
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT HAPPENED.
I can’t put words to just how much the orchestra loses their collective shit during Yorktown – specifically during Oak’s rap + right after it. Their volume skyrockets, the conductor was headbanging…it felt like my seat was rattling off its hinges with the energy of it.
Yep, this is what sucked me in too. Listen with headphones. Every single time I get goosebumps when they get to “The world turned upside down…”
wow I .. okay I guess I’m getting the soundtrack now I wasn’t expecting that to work
thank you
UPDATE: I JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO HAMILTON and I am sold
also I got to the last track and broke down sobbing geez thanks guys I was not prepared for this

While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.
Here it is again with text for anyone who can’t see the picture
- That thought isn’t helpful right now.
- Now is not the time to think about it. I can think about it later.
- This is irrational. I’m going to let it go.
- I won’t argue with an irrational thought.
- This is not an emergency. I can slow down and think clearly about what I need.
- This feels threatening and urgent, but it really isn’t.
- I don’t have to be perfect to be OK.
- I don’t have to figure out this question. The best thing to do is just drop it.
- It’s OK to make mistakes.
- I already know from my past experiences that these fears are irrational.
- I have to take risks in order to be free. I’m willing to take this risk.
- It’s OK that I just had that thought/image, and it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t have to pay attention to it.
- I’m ready to move on now.
- I can handle being wrong.
- I don’t have to suffer like this. I deserve to feel comfortable.
- That’s not my responsibility.
- That’s not my problem.
- I’ve done the best I can.
- It’s good practice to let go of this worry. I want to practice.
also, i want to apologize to people whose messages were ever ignored by me or took me ages to reply to. i have no excuses, i’m just shit at communicating and a lot of time get stuck in my own head, postpone replying and then either forget about it or think that it is too late to reply. i’m sorry if i’ve ever made someone feel bad bc of this – honestly, it’s never personal, it’s just me and my inner problems. i will try harder to work on it. thank you for ever initiating conversations with me
