Hey, yall. I am actually sitting at a computer today and want to tell you something: If you ever felt like you really appreciated something that a person said or did, its a wonderful sentiment to go ahead and tell them. I am trying to do this more and more in my life, and I can also say from experience that when I receive these kinds of notes myself, it LITERALLY makes my day/week/helps me fuel myself/believe in my purpose. I got a beautiful email from a young woman who saw my show in Chicago and said, I just wanted to say how brilliant your performance and script was for Natural Novice. I was truly moved by the stories you told and I get choked up just thinking about them and how relatable and raw they were, but were still told in such a beautiful way. Thank you for showing that vulnerability and taking such great risks. Obviously, as an artist, this is all of everything. This is the thing I want to do with my days. I want to bring people together and make them feel less alone. I want to strengthen and empower young women, even when I havent felt empowered myself. But writing these little notes maybe does more for me than my show did for them. Or maybe it is an equal giving and sharing. This kind of letter empowers ME, makes me feel stronger, justifies what I do, ESPECIALLY as an artist which is a questionable, difficult path that doesnt make any sense most days I am on it. So...if a person has made a difference to you...tell them. You could be making a huge difference to them. The end.
