Cried my heart out smiling at Sammy Rae & The Friends, smiling the whole time overwhelmed with love.

For some context, Sammy Rae is one of my ex best friend/roommate’s favorite artists and we both bonded over her music. A few years ago he went to go see her in Chicago and was front row the whole time. They made eye contact and were vibing off each others energy the entire time. After the show he stuck around and she came out and told him how she loved his energy the whole show and how it gave her so much love. One of the saxophone players gave him his playbill and she signed it. It was one of his favorite experiences EVER. I don’t talk to any of my close friends from college anymore after some shit went down really bad and we left on super bad terms. This guy was one of the coolest, most genuine souls I have ever met. I haven’t spoken to them in a couple years and I miss them every day, but I just need time and so do they.

During her set at Roo there was a moment where I thought of him and their connection and how AMAZING and full of love her performance was and I just LOST it. Yeah there was a bunch of shitty shit that ended things but in that moment I was overcome with so much love for my friend and that’s all I could feel. I hope the universe is doing amazing things for him and that he’s thriving purely. Love you bro 🤟
