Hurricane from Hamilton

    How many of y'all know the song "Hurricane" by Lin-Manuel Miranda from Hamilton? It's a really good song. And it needs more recognition. Alexander Hamilton was suicidal at one point. Everyone he loved had either died or left him and he didn't understand why he couldn't too. He wanted to end his life, but writing showed him a future. It really helped him overcome his struggle. It took him sometime, but he finally did realize he was worth greatness. Which is REALLY FUCKING COOL if you ask me. He was all like "yeah. I'm gonna write and it's gonna be okay because I'm HELLA great!!! Hell yeah!!"
       But here's the important part. You, whomever you are, are also worth greatness. There are gonna be people who say you're not. There are going to be people who say you can't do whatever you're going to do. Those people are liars. Do not listen to those people. Instead, try looking at them in the eye, and saying "watch me". You can also add a obscene hand gesture for emphasis, but that's optional. Whatever you do though, you must sing or dance or read or write or do whatever it is that you do to get out of your hurricane. Because that hurricane is also a liar. Depression is a manipulative liar. Don't trust it. Fight it. You will make it. I believe in you.
