You’re a journalist, honey. A School Newspaper kid. You are maybe one notch above us theater kids. Be real.

Went to a concert tonight and saw something remarkable. The show was finished — it was over — but then the audience clapped and cheered so much that the performers came back onstage and played a couple more songs. I was moved to tears
