The sun sets on Hair

[eirenical]

I... I don't have the words to properly express how I'm feeling right now. I woke up this morning ready to cry at the thought that at 3 PM today would be the Starshine Tribe's last show on Broadway. Maybe that's silly. Maybe it's a little selfish, but there it is. I came late to the party and felt like I had to jam in 2 years worth of love in 5 months, but still... what love.

I never expected a single musical could affect me so much. I never expected so much good to come out of it. Even looking, again selfishly, at just myself, because we all know what amazing things the Aquarius and Starshine Tribes have done for the world. I have made two of the best friends a girl could ask for thanks to Hair. (*snugs on a msorange21* Can you believe that before 3 months and 3 weeks ago... we'd never met? O_O I can't. It feels like I've known you a lifetime. And, for the record, that's a good thing. ^_^) I have been refreshed in my own life and started making positive changes for myself and for the world. I've been able to accept that the ending I'm experiencing is not an ending, but a new beginning. And that's not even getting into the wonderful phenomenon of my new muses: Gavin!Claude and Will!Berger and the plethora of writing they've inspired me to do.

It's so very cliched and you hear it all the time, but Hair really did change my life for the better. It gave me hope, love, inspiration and the desire to reach for a better tomorrow at a time when my todays were too sad for me to bear. It gave me so very much and I feel like I've given so little back. And that is why I grieve. And that is why I strive to do better.

But, in the immortal words of Josh Lamon, I am also reminded that "Hair grows." This isn't a goodbye... it's a "See you later."

So...
...October in New Haven!!

I love you. That is all.

No... that's not all. My life is better for having you in it and I have HAIR to thank for that. {{HUGS}}

Now, that is all. :-)

Aw... *wobble eyes* You're the best. ^_^

*pounces and covers you in snugly-hugs*

My life, too, hon. ^_^ My life, too. Thank goodness for my irrational whim to see the Aquarius Tribe just one last time. ^_^ And for you being so quick to drag me along with the rest of you to dinner. :D These would have been a rough four months otherwise. :-P
