“My sweet, fellow Ozians,” she began.
“Oz has been my safe space for as long as I can remember. The characters within these pages teach us how to love unconditionally with one’s whole heart; to laugh; to forgive (even when it’s most painful); to fiercely protect ourselves and each other (yes, sometimes even from each other); to look inward; to be curious and not afraid of acknowledging our own wickedness in order to grow away from it and toward goodness, because we all contain both; to see the beauty in all things; especially the unfamiliar; to be honest, because to be honest is to be kind; and to fight for what is truly, deeply good … even if it takes us a long, scary walk down the Yellow Brick Road to discoverate what that means for each of us,” she continued.
“I fell in love with Wicked when I was ten years old. It has been an escape and a place where I knew I could find comfort and understanding throughout my childhood and adult life. Loving something dearly and becoming it are two very different things. Becoming your Glinda the Good and being asked to join this most wonderful group of human beings on a most creatively and emotionally fulfilling journey was the greatest gift of my life. I have learned more from my time with Glinda than anyone,” she continued.
“today, to see how it has moved and been there for you all in the same way that it has for me over the course of my life has been the most meaningful, moving, and cherished gift of all. You’ll never know what it truly means to me. I’m so thankful to have been a tiny piece of this bubble puzzle and to be your Glinda.”
“Before I go, please remember: whenever things get scary or you feel alone home is wherever and with whomever we want it to be, and there’s no place like home. Your chosen Ozian family loves you exactly as you are, and I couldn’t be thankfuller that you exist. Love always, Ariana (Your Glinda),” she concluded.
Keep up with all things Wicked: For Good, including updates about the future of the series!
