I looked in the mirror and saw many roads,
down which I could walk, into a different man grow.
And in this I realized, that t'was not a mirror,
but another man's eyes,
through his experience, I saw through my lies
today I saw aspects of me that I never realized through your guy's characters.
Through Jackson's Two-Bit, I saw my life's purpose
Through Kara's Cherry, I saw a flaw of mine that I never realized
Through Kyle's Two-Bit, I saw glimpses of who I want to be.
Through Cass's Cherry, I saw love.
you guys worked awesome today. I know only one, maybe two of you read this, but I just had to get that out there.

Ben-
I don't know if I can even put this eloquently enough to please me, but today I remembered why I love drama.
Ben, I've been so down during this play. I hated coming, because I felt no one cared. Well, I was wrong... It wasn't that no one cared, I'm sure most everyone cared. I just viewed it different than most of them. I see something in the theatre that I was sure everyone had forgotten. During lunch today, I realized I wasn't alone. It was like a weight had been taken off my chest. I heard a quote once that said "A person can bear anything, if they think someone understands them."
Ben, I think I can bear anything with this play now. Because I don't feel alone.
Thank you.
And thanks for the character analysis. You're gonna see improvement.

Thanks Ben. You don't know how much you helped yesterday.
In the whole time you've been here. I really appreciate it.
This has been a hard play, especially since it's my first, but it hasn't been the same from what I used to know. How I used to see drama. Sure, I was never on stage, but I guess I kind of knew how the theatre worked, even if I wasn't so experienced.
It's changed a lot. Nicole and I were talking and I saw things that finally really hit me. I mean, half the cast are freshman, nonetheless the lead character, you know? It's just weird how much has changed over such a short period of time.
It's not the same, but it's a newer way of seeing everything, everything in general.
But, anyway. Thanks, I just wanted to let you know you've been a great help.

Hey Ben,
So I've been reading your blog and I gotta say: I like it a lot. I find myself agreeing with almost everything you say, that's really creepy. You have an awesome writing style(and I mean this in the traditional definition of the word).
Also, I thought you might like to know that I will quote you one day and you might not realize it at first, but if you think about the feeling you will have, you know the feeling, the one where you could swear you heard something before, you won't have heard it, you will have said it, and I hope that it will repay you for all the kindness you've shown me since i moved here, even when you thought i was moving in on your girl.
