HELLO I am feeling very positive today, so I just kind of wanted to write down some of the things I'm feeling positive about so that when I'm not feeling positive later in the year, which will happen, I can look back on this, and I figured I might try to spread it a little, so you guys can join in if you want to in your own spam books or anything like that I don't know what I'm saying but yay for positivity here we go!

- after this year I never have to take another math class

- I am lucky that I get to take a dance class a week

- in March I probably get to see The Play That Goes Wrong (starring the wonderful Brandon J. Ellis AKA Davy Zlatic in Bandstand) with my friend who I never get to see

- I'm going back to New York City in 315 days!

- I love Broadway

- on Saturday I'm finally going to meet with a therapist about my anxiety

- I have parents who support me in the pursuit of my career path

- I personally know some people working in the theatre industry who will help me while I'm on this career path

- I love Harry Potter

- the sun is shining

- I. HAVE. BREATH. IN. MY. LUNGS!

- I can find comfort and distraction in my writing any time I need it

- the song Eye of the Storm from the musical Ernest Shackleton Loves Me always calms me down, even if it's just slightly

- I love Newsies

- my parents forced me to watch Wicked on Broadway four years ago and that show has changed myself several times over since then

- I've hugged a lot of actors at the stage door (and two of them have hugged me)

- it's going to be a good day because I've decided that it's going to be a good day (and because I am me, and that is enough)

that's all I can think of right now but I just think it's a good idea to tell other people when you're feeling positive so that maybe other people can feel more positive, and hopefully that happened for all of you 😂 HAVE A GOOD DAY
