When You Do Math, It Gets A Little Messy.

Random thoughts

So you know how you have these dreams, like stuff that you want to do, and you hope that someday it will magically just happen? Like visiting a place or having a good relationship. Well guess what? Things don't just happen. You gotta work for it, not sit around and hope that opportunities will randomly stroll into your life.

Been going through a bit of a lull this past month but I’m starting to get out of it! Time to get my shit together🍂🌾

I finally finished my final exams and also took the results , this year was a difficult year for me and also my last year of school which means next year i will be in university inshallah.

There is something about trigonometry that makes me wanna puke.xD

Just a regular afternoon coffee with some reading. The upcoming weeks will be busy, so for now I just try to read and calmly think as much as I can

Hush!

Yoo-hoo! Got through one of the toughest practical exam today! So happy :D I spent the day before the exam fretting and worrying and praying and sometimes studying in between xD Oh relief!

A day in paradise.

if you see someone being interrupted in a conversation, acknowledge them, don’t let them be pushed to the side. if you see someone lagging behind, walk beside them. if someone is being ignored, take the step to include them. always remind people of their worth. it hurts when it feels like you’re being forgotten. that small gesture can mean a lot.

The choreography in “Rewrite the Stars” is honestly genius.

The whole scene is staged in such a way that for the first half of the song, Phillip is continuously trying to pull Anne back to him each time she tries to pull away. He’s trying to hold her in place at his level, on the ground. Even when she soars up into the air, he keeps trying to literally pull her back down: grabbing on to her hand, her waist, the rope, her hoop. Anything to keep her in place with him. 

But for the second half of the song, Phillip stops trying to hold her down and instead follows after her into the air, basically saying through the choreography, “If we can’t be together in my world, can we be together in yours?”

And only once they’re both in the air - the space that reflects the freedom the circus gives them - does Anne allow herself to consider the idea that they could actually be together. Phillip stops waiting for her to stay on the ground with him and puts in the work to be with her, literally scaling the walls of the theater to reach her. In more ways than one, they end up finding a balance and supporting each other’s weight for the rest of the song.

What I’m trying to say is that the choreography in The Greatest Showman is not only absolutely gorgeous, it’s also incredibly deliberate and tells a story through movement and I love it so much.
