[@archeribull9869]

I know Daveed would probably never see this, but I just want to thank him for the stage fright advice. Previous to watching this, I had a Biology presentation that I had to give in front of my class. Now, I've always been scared of people, and everytime my parents invited friends to the house, I would always rather starve than go to the kitchen because of the people I had to encounter on my way there. So a half hour before the presentation, rather than scratching myself until I bled like most times, I instead hopped around with my friend. Yes, it was probably strange seeing it, but it helped a lot. I did stutter, but I didn't feel my knees buckling. I got through the presentation without feeling like my world was swallowing me. So thank you, Daveed.

[@younice9707]

I know it’s been a year, but girl I am proud of you!

[@ellieswordlight4220]

This was a while ago, but I’m proud of you! It takes a lot of courage to do that, and you rocked your bio presentation. Well done :D 💜

[@baguettegott3409]

He's 38, so he's more than twice as old as you. And yes, it is weird, but only because you say it out loud. Kids and teenager always have crushes on people consideringly older than them (shoutout to my maths teacher, she was great), but they usually don't comment about it in a public space where the person in question can see it. Although I'm fairly sure he will NOT read through this comment section lol

I was so nervous, I sung she used to be mine, my voice was shaking so much, I couldn’t even belt. I knew if I tried I’d be screaming through the theatre. It’ll get better audition for audition. You’re my biggest idol now, I love you so much. And I hope I get a part, good for me the show is all lip sinc xD
