Maybe It's Just Me

“Oeh, what is it about?”

“Well it takes place in the ‘50′s in Memphis,Tennessee and basically it’s about music and pushing the racism border with music. It’s a really good show.”

“And this is why I’ve always loved you,” she said with a smile.

“The world is full of double standards that favor the woman and as a woman, I hate it!” Autumn grumles

“You are honestly my favorite person right now.  I hate that term.  Especially when people can’t tell the difference between shaming someone and making a statement that is trying to make an point about equality.  I also have to agree about the sex and rape thing.  Like honestly it’s not that hard to understand that no means no.” 

“You know a nother double standard I hate? How people hate the whole ‘daddy’ daddy thing, which was actually a term of endearment back in the fifties, fun fact, but is totally okay to call a woman mama. Like i don’t agree with the whole thing, but f its okay to call a woman mama, its okay to call a guy daddy. Or opposite, you get what mean?”

“I work better under pressure too. What plays are there playing?”

“Right now we’re doing Memphis the Musical.”

“Isn’t that stressing though?” she laughed.

It is stressful, But it’ part of the love of it.”

“It’s a part many people don’t appreciate.” 

“No they don’t. Or understand either.”

“That is the beauty of art.” 

“Like I said, It’s my favorite part.”

"Well yes. Theatre is live, but some hear theatre and think of the cinema. See the best part is, you don't know whats gunna happen. A set piece could break, a costume could completely rip, or an important prop could go missing. We had our lead actor lose his voice tonight."

“And when did we decide to do this?” The red haired girl laughs.

“Cause we both aer close to Maddy and it’d be fun to learn a new language. Plus it’d be a cute surprise.”

“Grab your daughter and meet me at my car.”

Autumn laughs and gets Kelsey, meeting Rosa at her car. “Where too.”

He beams and waits for her to open the present.

Smiling, Autumn ripped openn the wrapping.

I like to go by this one motto, it’s cheesy, but it’s reassuring. ‘In the end, everything will be okay. If things aren’t okay, it’s not the end.’ So whenever I start freaking out because something’s not right, I think about it, and realize I have time to fix it.

That’s probably the best thing I have ever heard. It definetly helps.

That’s true. It’s just sometimes, being surrounded by others happiness, romantic happiness, it gets lonely. i don’t mind it being just me and kelsey, I just have a fear of loneliness.
