Falling Higher

My simple mind doesn't understand this crazy music but it's going to be stuck in my head for forever.

I was part of a show today. After rehearsing for a month with an awesome cast, I was a part of a staged reading of Jake Sheffer's Falling Higher. Seriously, I can't express my gratitude. I was just happy to be in rehearsals with a script in my hands. That feeling alone was something I longed for and this process helped me get that back. Jake was so incredibly passionate about this play, the cast was tons of fun, and Mama and Papa Sheffer were supportive as ever. Working with this cast was special because so many of them were part of my high school experience. Being around them all makes my heart happy. And spending time with them tonight after the show felt SO good. So unbelievably good. Because we did it! It was done. We brought something to life together and helped Jake achieve a goal. And we could spend the time catching up with good food and great memories. It's really hard for me to put these feelings into words. But being reunited with people I haven't had in my life for sometime and then hearing "please stay in touch" in an ACTUAL GENUINE TONE WITH A TRUE DESIRE TO REMAIN IN CONTACT is so heartwarming. You know me. I've got this thing about letting people go and not wanting to be forgotten. It's nice that these bonds have lasted and that we can still enjoy one another. I hope this is not the last I see of this beautiful motley crew.
