::i dreamed a dream in times gone by::
Confession: When I saw Les Miserables for the first time in the West End in London, I had no idea what I was getting into. I knew it was a famous musical... that was about it. So at intermission, my friends explained the plot and characters to me since I didn't know it was literally all music and listening to song lyrics isn't my strong point but it was still incredible. Whenever theaters reopen, if you haven't seen it, go do it. You won't regret it. Most of the songs from Les Mis are iconic but especially " I Dreamed a Dream " by Fantine. It is tragically poignant as we understand what it means to have had a dream and watch it get crushed by circumstances outside of your control. Interestingly enough, the word God gave me for 2020 was "dream". I look back in my One-line-a-day journal and my entry on January 1, 2020 is full of enthusiasm for the year ahead, wondering what will happen. Oh child, little did you dream. I dreamed a dream in times gone by
