Giving but expecting nothing
Oh, hi friends!
I wrote this long and involved thing but just erased it, because you have places to be and the moral of the story is:
You can't be everything to everyone.
And that's OK!
Really.
You can't. be everything. to everyone.

What if planets looked like this?
What if they do?
“We really took nothing then made something that didn’t exist because we wanted to see what it looked like.”
Alright, this story about a high school in New Jersey putting on a stage version of Alien the movie is…incredible.
Couple of things: they had astounding costumes and sets, created from basically nothing. (Egg cartons!) They worked on the production for eight months! They even made a trailer. And then it went massively viral and was written up everywhere, including the New York Times. That's how you put on a show.
But I should note—the English teacher who directed the production says he adapted the film during his nights and weekends, which, good on you! This also violates every form of copyright and the film studio could sue the high school but…will they? Let's say, probably not.
Regardless, take this as inspiration to make your own (non-copyright protected) art. Go forth.
Wowowow. This will get your day started. Watch Reggie Miller score 8 points in the final 20 seconds to beat the Knicks in the playoffs. (Yes, this was in 1995. LOL. But I am just seeing it today after reading a reference to it in the book The Miracle Equation by Hal Elrod. And the grit stands the test of time.)
It's never too late to take a final shot at the buzzer.
