Me: [is reminded the musical Fun Home exists]
Me: [spends the next three hours listening to Maps every other song]
#I suspect this musical hits very differently if you've lost a parent pretty young
#like my relationship with my dad had almost 0 overlap
#but the way the musical is structured and deals with grief and reframing the past hit me directly on an emotional bruise
#which has still not healed after almost two decades
#so when I first saw it I cried several times and I still have to kind of stop and catch my breath at a few songs
#and maps is one of them
#I saw a post once talking about grief as being like a button in a box
#and there's a thing in the box - a balloon or a ball or whatever
#and when the loss is fresh it's full and it presses on the button all the time
#persistently and painfully
#but as time goes by it gets smaller
#and bounces around the box and doesn't always hit that button
#but when it does the pain is the same it's just not all the time anymore
#I suppose it's also true that the older I get the more context I have for the grief
#but it's so strange to realize that it won't be that long until I'm older than my dad was when he died
