Memorized this one as a weird kid who saw a middle aged gay guy recite it from memory and I just had to do the same.

if you ask me for a play to cite, it’ll probably be this one.
there is a special place in my heart for this play.
it is able to articulate the exact feeling of resentment as well as joy for a loved one getting out of a hard situation when you are still going through it.
its romantic, in its own definitive way - and lives with you days, months, and even years after reading.
i would give anything to see the pbs special of viola davis and rosie perez performing this

Pretty sure I won't be getting an offer but I had a great time anyway. At one point I had to deliver a Shakespeare monologue as if I was a stand-up comedian. Really lovely being surrounded by passionate people, they worked very hard to make it feel like we were all on the same team.

The last time I bought new glasses, a few months ago, I went to a store and tried on a million different frames for like a half hour. By the end of my try-on montage, I had a pile of glasses set aside, yet I chose the first pair I tried on, the ones I spotted as soon as I walked in the store. I pointed this out to the worker, laughing, and he proceeded to say something so profound: He was like, "yeah, everyone does that. No one trusts that their first instinct was right".
Is that not jaw-dropping? Everyone does that? I carry this story around like a personal fable and now rec saving stress and time by going with your first instinct, it's literally probably right.

Reframing any horrible ordeal as an ego killing opportunity to cleanse my soul or something… no drugs needed just putting yourself out there to be scrutinized, that’s probably good for us, right?
