All The Pain And Strife
I'm autistic, and I've been through some rough spots these past 2½ years
First, in April 2020, The Disney Family Singalong aired, near the end, the High School Musical cast, the HSMTMTS cast, the Descendants cast, Milo Manheim, Meg Donnelly, Raven-Symone, Kenny Ortega, and even Charli D'Amelio performed "We're All In This Together", but afterwards, came a melancholy performance of " A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" performed by two completely unknown artists. Why they didn't choose famous artists is beyond.
Then, in November 2020, I got COVID from my brother's school. I got very lucky and had no symptoms, but my mom, a high-risk patient, had to be hospitalized for 15 days.
Then, in March 2021, Shiloh Nelson, who voices my best pal Keia and also sent me the SWEETEST birthday message for my 17th birthday, only made a non-speaking cameo in the virtual audience at the Kids Choice Awards. I messaged her for a message from Keia, but no reply. Then, 3 days later on March 16, i recieved the RUDEST email one could possibly think of from a man five decades older than Shiloh (IN HIS 60s!) and now I hate him with my whole heart.
All was well until December 2, when Megan Hilty, who voiced my best pal KC The Koala, played Lily St. Regis in Annie Live, and when she sang "Tomorrow" with everyone else at the end, her voice was so drowned out by everyone else's that you couldn't even hear her. She hasn't ever replied to my tweets since that day and that is really sad.
And last, but not least, to add salt to the wound, TOTS is ending on Friday and is being replaced with a trashy Paw Patrol wannabe called Pupstruction. Now Disney Junior won't have any good shows and I may have to quit watching it.
