Ponine,
I totally hear you. I felt like I was transformed by the show. It hit on so many chords of what was going on in my world at the time that I had no choice but to love all of it.
What also hit me recently was a documentary that's on the DVD of the film. It talks about Jonathan Larson and gives such a wonderful picture about who he was. Such an amazing man. One of my heroes.
Lately, I have been on Cloud 9. Not sure why. I guess I'm always looking for a reason, maybe I shouldn't. But I'm so into the 'no day but today' aspect of the show and applying it to my life. Life's short, baby.
I'm at total peace with everything right now. I'm 100% cool with my folks, my sisters, my grandma, with my chosen family... All is well. I hope the feeling lasts. If my life was a movie, I'd suddenly be coughing and then in Act 3 I'd be dead.
Let's hope not for that.
Dark clouds may fall on me sometimes, but I'll work it out....
