Please tell me you just saw that Mia Michaels piece on addiction.

I was bawling. Like, tears on my arms and shit, I've never felt so much watching a dance. Even a Mia Michaels one. She fucking outdid herself and I can't even explain.

I can't even speak.

I have no words for how much I adore Mia.

What part of the segment is it at, which couple danced it? I have to leave soon, but I'd like to catch it before I go.

Never mind... I just saw it. I don't want to leave my house now, oddly enough... to get piss drunk. Ouch. :(

I left a huge post I've been working on to go watch SYTYCD and man, was it an amazing night.

Fuck, I have loved that song for forever and never thought that that's probably what it's about before, I love that couple, I love that idea. I actually have an idea for a dance about addiction too, so, I just loved this dance even more than I thought possible.

From the moment they started moving until the final movement, I was in tears. I know it would have affected me regardless, but having gone through my own addiction, I felt a real connection to this piece. I've been Kayla. I was there for a long time. Everything about the piece was so honest and real, from Mias choreo to the way Kayla portrayed an addict, to Kupono's portrayl of "the drug". It was so compelling on it's own that I would have loved this dance either way. But the fact that I have the past that I do, it just struck a real chord with me. Just thinking about it is bringing me to tears. It was honest, real, and torturously beautiful.

I'm really glad Mia decided to make this dance. I'm assuming she has a personal experience with addiction, whether it be her own or a close friend/family member, but I'm very glad she decided to bring some light to such a dark place by making this.

Even though in a way it's painful to watch, it's my favorite piece from any SYTYCD season ever.
