But everything is all weird the past two weeks. I haven&#8217;t watched Hamilton, not even once. I am actually surprised that it&#8217;s been only two weeks, I feel it like 6 months. Songs from Hamilton do swirl in my mind ever day, but I don&#8217;t have that urge to watch\/listen to it. In the recent days I&#8217;ve been full of doubts whether I should watch it, just one last time. But then I say to myself: &#8220;No! You don&#8217;t want this. You don&#8217;t need this. Think of all the opportunities that lie ahead! Do you really want to ruin your whole life and live under a couch listening to the musical 24\/7 for the rest of your life?! NO! You are strong, you are independent! Don&#8217;t let this musical control your life, break free!&#8221; That&#8217;s what usually snaps me out of it. I&#8217;ll be doing everything I can to not watch it for one last time, because I know it won&#8217;t be the last time, it will just make my whole life go in&nbsp; cycles of Hamilton, Freedom, Hamilton, Freedom, etc. I have be strong, I don&#8217;t have another choice. (After rereading this, I can see plenty of Hamilton quotes that aren&#8217;t intentional (not counting the first couple sentences). Is it a coincidence or did Hamilton permanently change the way I write\/express myself?)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you really need me to tell you how to say no to this? You\u2019re not helpless. You can\u2019t watch\/ listen to\/ quote Hamilton nonstop. But it\u2019s ok to want to watch it again sometime, maybe a couple times a year &#8211; that would be enough. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll be back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before Hamilton I thought freedom was something they can never take away, after it I though it was something I will never see again, no matter what they tell me.
