Thank you, Santana's Snapshots! Sorority Quest: Adventures in TimeBork BorkLulu LemonThe song was called, "Where Do You Belong?" and we went full broadway pulling from shows like A Chorus Line, which I had performed in last summer at the Woodlawn as Judy Turner until I got sick with covid-19 and was forced to miss the last two weeks of shows. These photos, on the other hand, are from me performing as a swing in for a dancer in Sorority Quest. Singing back up vocals and dancing for my life, every time we got to this song I thought I knew exactly where I belonged. It was right here. Right now. Exactly where I was. On this stage. Spinning around, kicking my feet, popping the golden sparkling top hat in my hands, effortlessly smiling because I knew this was it. This was. This is. Where I belong. Onstage. Performing. Changing the world one Broadway number at a time. Special thank you to Santana's Snapshots and Space Coasters for the photos above and below. Hi, Barbie!Her name was Farrah, and she was the first time I felt pretty in pink. I felt feminine. I felt alive. I love her. She is growing in her intelligence and full of love, light and joy. She glimmers. All she wants is to be happy with her friends in the best sorority of all time. If only she could find that time capsule...

Sometimes I get sad because I wish I could soak up every moment we have together in a jar and carry it around with me forever Write When you're sad Write When you're happy Write When you're numb Write Write, Write, Morning, noon, and night While you fly a kite, Whether or not you "get it right," Write! Little boy: What are you gonna do now? Little girl: Normal things I guess. *She takes off flying* *They laugh*
I was scared to find you, and now that you're found
It's like I'm on a tight rope and I'm looking down Scared to fall and hit the ground Scared no one else will hear the sound - Scared to stay, scared to leave, Together, just think what we could achieve, Divine timing, in which I believe, Kept bringing you closer and closer to me, It's okay - It's okay - It's okay - I see, you are the safety net all around me, holding me close, doing the most, trying to battle with an invisible ghost, a parasitic host, and I'm terrified of what I can't see, the memories, the pain, that gets between we the thoughts that try to take over me and yet, and yet, you still choose me.
And it's like I can still taste you on my lips
Feel your arms around my hips Your heart pressing into mine Fingertips up and down my spine Turning me blind I cannot see - Past you, past you, past you and me. |
