Defying Gravity

Hey guys! Haven't posted anything in ages, sorry about that. Well here'post I've been dying to show you all.

A misunderstanding behind a mask.

What does it mean? Misjudging someone without even trying to know about the reality and reasons for their actions. I’ve been a Broadway lover since at an early age, and what I’ve always loved was the way how Wicked was written, a story about the so called “Wicked Witch of the West”. I won’t be telling you what it’s all about, that would be spoiling it, but what I will tell you is that due to the courageous action of Elphaba, being the Wicked Witch of the West, she was cast off away from Oz and was seen as the wickedest of them all due to her defiance against the plans of the EVIL wizard. The song within the play that truly captures this idea behind everyone always being told what to do was done in the song “Defying Gravity”, a magnificent piece of work I should say.

“I’m through accepting limits, cause someone says there’s so”

Can you relate to that lyric? I sure can. I’ve experience being limited before, whether it’s in my dreams, or just normal everyday stuff. We’ve all been there, and frankly, it sucks to have limits. Whenever I listen to this song, I believe in myself a lot more than I did before, because preventing yourself from having a limit is what life’s all about. Sure you can say “No” but that just limits you from doing something new. I’ve had moments before where I chose not to seize the opportunity because I felt I had limits holding me back, and in the end I felt so wrong for not even giving it a try, for giving myself a limit that may not even exist.

Let’s get back to the idea of “A misunderstanding behind a mask” What does it mean? For me it means people thinking that there are limits to what you can do just because they see you do a lot, your mask looking like it's filled, I would like to oppose from this idea, because as long as you set your mind to reach something, then there will never be limits. Reality? That’s the cold truth, and everyone would probably say they’d rather live in the cold truth than in the warm and beautiful lie, but I choose to live in a lie, because in there, there is no limits, as long as you keep believing.
