THIS!! sometimes going with others makes me feel a certain weight of how they are perceiving me vs being able to focus on my own experience of the music
i think it’s really only applicable to ga shows, but genuinely, almost all my favorite shows i’ve experienced alone. there is nothing better than losing yourself in a crowd and being able to migrate wherever without worry. no one cares that you’re by yourself, it’s just a vibe.
I loveeee doing this you can just focus on the music and why you’re there to begin with and sometimes you even make new friends with similar interests (the artists!) and I love how music brings people together I love concerts

I think that walking through daily life, smell is an underappreciated and underutilized sense. Just as a beautiful sunset or bird song in the park can ignite a really pleasant feeling in us, so does getting a big breath of that humid air after a rainfall, or of a stranger’s heavy floral perfume, or the exhaust of an old passing car. once I was walking to class, really stressed and in my head about things, and just remembering that I have this whole other sensory facility to enjoy liberated me wonderfully from the internal spiral. it smelled like rainforest in vancouver that day, as it does today.
