Click to viewIt's been a year to this day that I was plunged into depression and anxiety, so finding this video this morning feels like a fitting tribute to all that was good. I only wish Andi were to appear at the end of the video and pop out of a large cake dressed as the NBC peacock, and then it would be complete. Through my pain, the only thing in that first month that made me laugh was watching The Golden Girls, so that show now holds a special place in my heart. It has since become a show that I watch whenever I'm around to catch it, and since it's on five times a day, it's pretty often. The soundtrack to the original Broadway production of Dreamgirls was something that I also discovered during that time, after the play was put on by my school and I watched it four times. "Ain't No Party" happened to hit relatively close to home, and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" is one of the best songs I have ever heard. (And then the movie came out.)
I didn't know quite how to commemorate this day, but watching Bea Arthur sing "Dreamgirls" flabbergasts me. I am now going to go sing with my Youth Pride Chorus, and earn my first paycheck for a gig. I'm overcome.
