So after all my positivity about the New Year a couple months back I've felt a bit defeated being that not much has seemed to go the way I had hoped since the ball dropped on January 1st. But like I said in my post over a month ago, you kind of have to feel that way before you finally get up and say Enough.
The Broadway sensation Wicked has come to Orlando on tour for 3 weeks and I took my roommate to see it opening night. If you haven't seen Wicked, it's one of those experiences that makes you realize how moving life can really be, even if you're in a somewhat numbing stage of it. The combination of the pre Wizard of Oz story and amazing music is something no one should pass up if they get the chance, even if it's from the cheap seats like we were. So, we said that we would come back and attempt to win the front row lottery.
And we did go back, and as more and more people showed up we knew our trip was probably going to turn into a couple drinks at Hamburger Mary's. Ten people would win out of about 150. But I still felt like there was a chance. And when they called my name I realized this was a sign: all you have to do is try. You just gotta show up. No, you're not always going to win or get what you want, but it is definitely not going to happen if you don't even show up. And now I have one of my favorite experiences of my life to remind me of that.
