This Is My [final] Jam. Seems fitting.
'Hamilton' is currently ruling my life, but beyond that, Lin-Manuel Miranda continues to be such a huge influence in so many ways. 'In the Heights' resonates so heavily with me as a Latina, as a kid who pressured herself to succeed (only to feel devastated when the first crack at college didn't go so well), as a dreamer. Every character in this show reflects some part of me, and that carries into 'Hamilton' as well. But since that show ain't up anywhere but streaming yet...
This finale reminds me that even with your biggest dreams, the smallest places can bring you joy and love. I'm home.
