My trail of thoughts today:
①when I hear that powerful voice of Idina Menzel, I hear Maureen, Elphaba, Elsa, and I think about how they all like girls, or at least part of the LGBTQIA+
②Celie in The color purple and Elphaba in Wicked (which Cynthia Erivo has portrayed both) both have a sister they care deeply for, while having a huge crush on a popular beautiful girl. So in contexts, “Too beautiful for words” = “Popular”, and “I’m here” = “Defying gravity”
