Hey guys! First night at home since Thursday last week. Wow, its been a while. Sorry, I messed up my usual posting schedule, but lets be honest it was always going to happen some point this year.
Yep, first night at home in over a week and I'm write a blog, because I love you guys that much. My life.
I went to a 21st of an old friend who I haven't seen for a while. It was the second night of what has been a very long week. I have seen a lot of friends this week and this year and more than ever I understand how much friends are part of people's lives.
Ok, I'm not going to soppy about this. The point I'm going to make is pretty negative actually.
Think very carefully, before you cut out someone from your life. Make sure you've exhausted, every avenue, exhausted every chance and then make certain again that there's nothing else in life.
Because in the end, your friend has been part of your life. They've seen things with you, had conversations, been through arguments and helped you out, thats why you were friends with them. Make sure they have none of that anymore.

Make sure you're willing for all that to stop, make sure you're willing for that part of your life to end.
Its not something you can just pick up again. Like a skill with an instrument, or like a skill in sport, friendship decays with time. Unlike, those skills, you can't just pick them up back up again and learn your old habits. You can pick try pick up a friendship again, but its not like a skill that you forget, but rather, its an essay that you write and forget to save. When you rewrite it, you can try all you want, you'll never find the same words again. Everything feels so familiar and you know what you want to say and what you mean, but those words can never be the same.

So just be careful and be cautious, you only get one chance when it comes to friendships. Save your documents as much as you can before you close it.
AND ON THAT NOTE ....
In the continuing trend of me doing things out of character, I went to Future music festival.
I'll pause here and let everyone pick their jaws off the table.
Anyway, so I tried to listen to a lot of bands, djs and music that was going to be played at Future so I actually looked like what I was doing
Ok, so, really I only had some clue what I was doing, but still.
There are some live performance that were absolutely amazing, even with the crowd and the atmosphere.
Rudimental and Pheonix had a stage presence that I really didn't expect. Rudimental at sunset, just sitting back and relaxing in particular was absolutely amazing.
(Look at me, commenting on how good everything was after being to one music festival)
The value that you get for paying 170 is really being able to go with other people who are also willing to fork out 170 dollars to listen to bands and the such. When people around you,enjoying the same thing that you enjoy so much, then you become so much more comfortable about yourself and a lot less self-conscious.
There were certain parts of the day which I didn't think was as enjoyable as everyone else to be. Moshing was not as fun. Like, I know I just said, that being in a group makes everything more enjoyable, but the group really doesn't have to be that big. Some of the smaller stages probably could have been more enjoyable.
Its interesting, however, how a single singer/band can unite so many people. More so, than politicians or country leaders can..
Was it worth 170 dollars? Probably. I mean, if you see enough acts, there's definitely value for money there. When the bands individually costs about 100(?) seeing a couple of bands already makes up that value. Some of the food costs and drink costs were way too high. I've never seen Smirnoff go for 12:50, or crappy chicken burgers for 9 dollars.
You need to know the music playing however. The music isn't for everyone and isn't something you can simply just pick up on the day.
All in all, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It was a leap to enjoy something, that I really would have not have enjoyed a few months ago. I do have regrets from the day; I really wish I brought my camera because there were so many amazing shots that I could have taken, I wish,after talking about it so much, I met up with a friend when Rudimental was playing.
This year, trying new things has been quite fun.
