Waving Through A Window
DAY 22
"Waving Through A Window"
from Dear Evan Hansen
This song is fresh in my mind because I finally saw the Dear Evan Hansen production on Broadway while my wife and I were in New York last weekend, but this really is one of the songs that I feel like defines so much of how I relate to the world. I'm not quite as shy or anxiety-ridden as Evan Hansen is in the show, but I definitely know that awkward feeling of watching other people live their lives through the screen of a smartphone or a computer monitor. I know how it feels to never quite feel like you fit in with everyone else, even when you're trying desperately to be seen.
Over the years I've gotten a little better with my social anxiety and ability to relate to other people, but it was particularly bad in junior high and high school when I just felt so alone and like I couldn't relate to anyone at all for days or even weeks at a time.
On a side note, if you ever get a chance to see Dear Evan Hansen, you really should check it out. I'm not a huge theater person and I absolutely loved every minute of it. The songs are amazing and the show is surprisingly emotional. There was a big guy sitting next to me that just completely broke down during the penultimate song. It's that good.
