You know what? It's probably controversial, but I'm fine with Anais Mitchell's next musical happening only decades from now. I'm even fine with Hadestown being her only musical. It's a masterpiece and I hope she and everyone involved in creating it are massively proud of it. It's as good as it is because they spent years and years perfecting it, even right up to the West End revival opening where they changed a few lines in Epic III. Sometimes letting things grow slowly overtime and caring for it with love is fine. I'll take one Hadestown over a slew of musicals that were made on a time crunch and that might end up being disappointments. And I think that goes for art in general - being productive really shouldn't matter. What matters is that you make something you're proud of and that brings joy to others.
Are you always this confident? When I look at you I am. When you look at me, what do you see? Someone stronger than me, somebody who survive. So why should I become your wife? Because I make you feel alive. That’s worth a lot... What else you got?

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?
