i watched it when i was 12 and it made me realize a whole different world exists and that i too could be a part of it. 13 years later i work in touring doing a job i love and that wouldn’t be the case if i didn‘t lay down on the floor of my friend‘s living room and let penny lane show me that it is all happening all the time.

my dad lived across the street from the venue, this was the beginning of many nights of lying to my mom to go stay at his apartment to see shows on school nights

When I was around 6, my trad jewish mother started dating a czechoslovakian lion tamer/magician/acrobat. Me and my siblings traveled around the world with the entire production crew, and raised baby cubs back home in Pennsylvania. Peta turn away I was a kid idk - they were also rescued from poaching grounds
The show had long-term residencies in shanghai, rio de janeiro, atlantic city, vegas, nashville, kuala lumpur, and many more places. I was a dancer in it for fun at 11, even though the other dancers were full on show girls aha. My mom and the magician had a baby around this time too, so my little brother fully has circus blood lolll. Not even my most coveted family lore mwahah but it’s pretty silly. Little me and one of the tigers Dora pictured

I was 3 or 4, and hooooo boooy, let me tell you how significant this moment was for me. Thomas gets pushed onto an abandoned ferry by those good-for-nothing Troublesome Trucks and sinks into a marsh. I positively lost my shit. I vividly remember rushing into the dining room where my mom was chatting with her friend, and I would not let them continue talking until they came in and watched it again. I'm sure I wore that part of the tape out replaying it over and over and over again. Looking back now, I think it radicalized me.

i am historically not a morning person, but recently when my body wants to add an extra surprise hour to my day i’ve started listening. sometimes i light a candle and sometimes i watch an episode of an anime and all the time i drink coffee. the whole world can be my oyster when it feels like i have it to myself
