Yes I'm about to write another "this thing in Hamilton made me think about my life" post. So sue me! My stepsister the other day called me "obsessed" but that's what people are going to say when they don't understand how much something has impacted your life. I wouldn't be who I am without Hamilton and there are so many things I come across (even now, years later) that make me think about everything I've been through in my life.

I'm not going to lie... I had a really rough week. As we rolled into July it just kind of hit me... wow, it's been almost 4 months since I've been around people! Today actually marks exactly 4 months since I last hugged another person. For those that live alone, this has been seriously tough and I think people who don't tend to take that for granted... being around people that is.

Like the majority of the world, I spent the last 2 days soaking up as much Hamilton on Disney+ as I possible could. This show means a lot to many people and can mean different things to people as well. For some, it's just a beautiful work of art, for others it was life-changing. Sometimes it's hard for me to truly put into words the power that this show has and the real emotional response that it gives me.

Oh wait... that's not my name. But the sentiment remains the same. For the first time in 36 years, I feel as though I've fully embraced the person that I want to be. I've mentioned before that I enjoy my life, but it's more than that now. Writing this book, as emotional as it's been, is allowing me to tap into things about myself that I'd never really thought about before... or at least haven't thought about for a while. 2 years ago I started my new life and it's fully taken me this entire time to come into my own.
