WordPress Prompts: Write a letter to your 100-year-old self

March 13, 2023 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.

Dear Future Me,

I hope this letter finds you well! I can hardly imagine what life is like for you, at a hundred years old, but I’m excited to think about all the advancements and changes that have taken place since my time.

As I write this, the world is grappling with numerous challenges, from climate change to social inequality. I can only hope that in your time, some of these issues have been resolved. And if they haven’t been resolved, hopefully people are still fighting to make positive changes.

I wonder if you still remember me, the person who wrote this letter seventy years ago. Do you still cherish the same values and beliefs that I hold dear today, or have you evolved and grown in ways I can’t even fathom? Have you achieved your dreams and aspirations, or have you discovered new ones along the way? What is the world like, and how have you contributed to making it a better place?

I don’t have any of the answers at the moment, but I hope that wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, you’re happy. As I write this, I’m reminded of a moment in my elementary school when I wrote a letter to myself in the future. The year I graduated from high school, my teacher mailed me the letter. I had totally forgotten about the letter I wrote back then, and it was so cool to read it! I did the same thing my first year of college, during the pre-orientation program — and that time, the letter was mailed to me after graduating with my Bachelor’s degree. Most recently, I attended a conference for work where we wrote a letter to our past self. And now, here I am on my blog, writing a letter to my future self.

One of my hobbies since I was a child was letter writing, and I hope I will continue writing letters to pen pals as well as to myself.

In conclusion, dear Future Me, I wish you all the best. I hope that your life has been filled with love, laughter, and purpose. If you find yourself looking back at the past and you read this, remember that there was someone in 2023 who wrote this letter to you.

Love,

Yourself

Stranger Sings

March 10, 2023 / lolitaland / Leave a comment

Are you a Stranger Things fan? If so, you should definitely check out the Stranger Sings musical! This is a parody off-broadway musical. Recently, they announced the show has been extended through April 30, 2023. You can still grab tickets if you want to check it out!

The Stranger Sings musical is at Playhouse 46 at St. Luke’s (308 W. 46th Street) in NYC. Jonathan Hogue wrote the book, music, and lyrics for the show, and it’s a fun experience. The theatre is on the smaller side, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to see. The way the show is set up has the audience surrounding the stage on all four sides. It’s very immersive! If you’re looking for a serious show, this is not it. It’s very campy and funny. I also don’t think you need to be a Stranger Things fan to enjoy the show, although being a fan definitely helps since you’ll get the references. It might be confusing if you aren’t familiar with Stranger Things (plus there may be spoilers for you!). If you’re worried about being spoiled but have started Stranger Things, you should be good as long as you finished Season 1.

The most surprising thing about this musical is the puppet! The character Will is portrayed by a puppet, performed by Caroline Huerta, the same person who plays Joyce. This was really unique and memorable for me. Some of the other actors also played multiple characters: Kyle Mangold played both Steve and Jonathan, and Harley Seger played both Eleven and Nancy. I was impressed by how quickly Kyle and Harley were able to change wigs and costumes! They were definitely skilled at quick changes.

I don’t want to spoil the show, so I won’t be going into detail about plot and specifics. You’ll have to check it out for yourself!

Here are some of my favorite things about the musical without spoilers:

The music is lively and cute!
They break the fourth wall (which was one of my favorite moments — Winona Ryder deserves an Emmy!)
Also — justice for Barb Holland!!!
