How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart, you begin to understand, there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep…that have taken hold.
— J.R.R. Tolkien (via onlinecounsellingcollege)
LESSONS YOU CAN LEARN FROM MUSICALS

- The King and I: Racism doesn't count if you sing about it.

- Hairspray: In the 60s, people will hate you if you're overweight, UNLESS you also hang out with black people.
