Hey everybody! It’s been a while since I’ve seriously been on Tumblr and I’m not even sure where all my old Glee friends have gone to, fandomwise, but tonight I just really miss Glee, a lot, and I wasn’t sure where else to say that. Right now I’m going to school in New York, and I am entirely positive that I’m there because of the effect that Glee had on my life. The fandom and the show really shaped my high school experience, and I am so thankful that I found so many incredible people here that gave me a space to just really enjoy Glee. Glee as a show had no restraint, it always went as far as it could go, and although I was sometimes scared to be vulnerable in real life, this fandom gave me a space to express what I never could to the people I know in real life
Tonight I rewatched a lot of old behind the scenes videos and the movie of the concert, and it made me remember who I was when Chris as Kurt really moved me towards being a better person, towards being more caring, more forgiving, more determined, and more thoughtful about my actions and their effects. The fandom also pushed me to think more critically and acknowledge shortcomings, even while still loving the show. I think that over the last few years I had really lost that, and I know that the fandom has died away over the last few years, but for everyone who’s still around, thank you for being there for one of the best experiences of my (admittedly short) life.
