![]() While he worked hard on his dream, his friends gave up on their own dreams of becoming actors and dancers and took jobs in the corporate world. He lived in a small apartment while working as a waiter at the famous Moondance Diner in Soho, New York. All he had was a dream and determination to make it happen. Like a lot of young people, he headed for New York City hoping to be discovered by theatre producers and fulfil his dream of producing a hit musical. Jonathan Larson is known for his hit Broadway musical RENT, but before this, he spent 8 years trying to get another musical onto the stage. I needed to hear his story and now I am going to tell you why it is a good source of inspiration.įirst, let me tell you about the main character, Jonathan Larson. ![]() It’s an autobiographical musical about a man who kept going even though the odds were against him. When I needed inspiration, I came across Tick Tick.Boom! on Netflix and it has become a bit of an obsession for me. These stories are all around us but we don’t pay attention to them until we need them. I know this post is not very recent but I just needed to write my feelings somewhere.When times are tough we look around for inspiration or success stories about people who have been in our position and succeeded. But I can't help it, it's who I am.Īnd movielarson (I don't now the real one) stayed true to himself and he did succeed and I think that's very inspiring. I have missed opportunities because I was to late, not well prepared or simply forgot about them. It just hits me a lot harder than my mum because I have been in this situations, friends couldn't put up with me anymore and I can't even be mad about them. Him not being able to write the song until the last minute and the feeling of failure when hes an hour to early at the workshop and nobodys there. The hyper focus on the workshop the way he can't think about everything else and pays with his relationship and almost a friendship. ![]() It's just the way he feels stuck while everybody around him is moving on, getting a nice flat a new job etc. I came to the conclusion that I just know how he feels I'm 24 and have adhd I haven't really accomplished anything I would feel deeply proud of, and I ask myself on a regular basis what I am doing with my life, while anyone else seems so succeed and grow up. I just talked about the movie with my mum, but she wasn't that excited about it, so I started to think about why I loved it so much. I’m not going to say that the movie will see me making massive changes in my life, because I know how rarely I say that and then actually follow through with that, but wow, it still fucked me up.Īnybody else see the movie and have similar feelings? If not, I highly recommend it. Exhibit A is the time I spent writing this post. I feel like I have almost no time for anything but it’s a lie. And we will die at some point, possibly not even having time to prepare for it. Telling myself that things will be different in my life after I complete this specific milestone.īut things never change. I’m not a writer and I’m still fairly young, but as somebody who always feels like it’s a nightmare to juggle everything in life, the movie really resonated with me.Ĭonstantly putting off other things and people in order to finish things that I can barely bring myself to start in the first place. I feel that this was not necessarily the intention nor the focus of the film, but in my opinion, a lot of it was pretty much ADHD personified. ![]() Even the way he would act, down to some of his quirks and tics felt all too familiar. Andrew Garfield was amazing and he was too relatable. I knew nothing going in and I had never heard of Johnathan Larson.
