the esplanade
it's been tough going back to the esplanade; even with my parents / other people because i caught quite a few shows there with a specific person and said person also broke up with me after i cried at the toastbox on level 1. maybe they were linked; i'd never know.but going back today and watching Legally Blonde (on my own, no less, and out of my own accord), somehow something shifted.
i texted my sister and truly believed that 2023 me was a nutcase crying becaue my then boyfriend left me on the escalator going down while he ran to the toilet. and yes, valid feelings of abandonment then but now on hindsight (always 20-20); very laughable.
i think he couldn't handle me who couldn't handle myself and i guess(?) thankfully we broke up.
LOL but jokes aside i'm so pleased with how the theatre scene has grown (baby steps; given the shows are mainstream but wow West End level of singing). it does feel like we are developing some semblence of an appreciation for the arts. it'll definitely take more time to mature but the next generation might get us a step closer.
