Inspiration is a tricky friend. Some get inspired from within and have a natural talent of just creating it. Me? I have to listen to music, engage in a deep conversation, or watch a movie. Often the inspiration for this well-studied senior comes from wacky Johnny Depp movies or off-the-beaten-path literature. Who knew High School Musical could be one of my muses?
One of the messages in the film is to not stick to the status quo. It's not so much breaking free from what other people expect of you, but what you expect from yourself. The examples they provided ranged from a geek dancing to hip-hop to a basketball star wanting to bake creme brulee. What others perceive you to be may just the caramelly crust, waiting to be cracked open by the spoon of opportunity (forgive my metaphor), and spill out your satisfying, creamy talent. I hear you, High School Musical, and I search for my spoon.
Thank you all, and good night.
