who you are

"Everything that you want to change about yourself,

All the parts of yourself that you keep secret,

It's your power.

It's who you are."

- Charles S. Dutton as Alvin Dowd in Fame

Every time I watch the trailer for Fame (yes, I've seen it a few times - I can't wait to see the movie), when I hear this quote, it hits me like a ton of bricks and I have to gulp back tears.

Because oh - so very badly - do I want to become the person who finally really believes that to be true.

Oh my gosh, I teared up at this part in the trailer, too! Thanks for reminding me that I must see this movie. Those kids, those dreams, the thrill of going for it... chills.
