Only true intellectuals read the plots of musicals on Wikipedia because they live in Asia and will never see a Broadway musical ever because it’s so expensive and we all cry
Forget about nursing school and start chasing veterinary school instead.
Actually have the confidence to physically go into places to ask for a job instead of just applying online
Go out more
Be a “normal” human being
A boy. A list :]
Draw whatever I want. Draw good ideas that come to mind even if it ends up looking bad. I keep being scared of drawings coming out badly that sometimes I don’t even draw them.
Tell my mom about how I want her to look at things a different way. To reevaluate her opinions and choices and get through the trauma she’s been through. I want her to change for the better. I want her to change for me, her kid.
And there we go.
Take more risks, stick up for myself, voice my opinions and be more confident overall
Be myself.
Learn how to swim, have a conversation without getting stressed, be able to sing solos in church, voice my opinions, be more of a risk taker, act like my normal, geeky self around my friends without having to worry about getting judged.
Be confident about voicing out my opinions and not depend on other people’s affirmation. If anxiety’s not a daily struggle, I would’ve done so many things directed at my advocacies.Â
- Do I really need to say anything about Washington, Jefferson, or Madison
- Alexander Hamilton was not an advocate for immigrants. In fact, he pushed laws that would harm immigrants because he feared the effect they would have on his political career
- Angelica Schuyler was actually friends with Jefferson, which is its whole separate thing
- The Schuyler family had their fortune built off of slaves, which Hamilton benefitted from when he married Eliza
- Hercules Mulligan owned a slave (His name was Cato. He was a spy in the Revolution, and you should definitely look into him!)
I love the musical, but please remember to treat this subject with respect. The musical characters are fictional counterparts to their historical ones. View the fictional characters how you want, but remember how horrible the real people were. Angelica would not have fought for slaves rights, she owned her own. Hamilton wouldn’t help immigrants because he was one, he created laws that still harm them to this day. The musical is beautiful, but take off the rose tinted glasses when you analyze the historical figures and their actions. Enjoy the musical, remember the history.
