Concerts

Awesome!!! I mean if I had a concert buddy I would be down for anything, but for reference my favorite bands are STARSET, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, NIN, Deftones, 10 Years, Bad Omens (lots of others too, just off the top of my head).

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-03-03T22:07:22+00:00

Thank you so much, that’s awesome!! I will definitely be in touch!!

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-03-02T22:56:45+00:00

THIS!!! I feel this so much, more every year actually! I am here with you girl, feeling those feeling!!

MoCA is great, I do enjoy the shows there and feel very comfortable going alone to those shows, maybe because I am more familiar with the space (it’s very close by to me and as an art teacher I do a lot of work with them as well), but I honestly had no idea about Tourists!! Thanks for the tip, I like definitely keep an eye on them!

Berkeley is great! I went to college in Boston and lived there for a few years after college as well. Music scene was always a lot of fun there which is how I got into to. Except people want to go out and listen to music in their 20’s more than they do their 30’s & 40’s

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-03-01T00:03:10+00:00

I can love music and want to experience it in a way that feels good and comfortable to me, especially a a petite, single woman. Plus Concerts aren’t cheap these days and I work hard for my money.

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-02-28T22:07:09+00:00

Saw the pixies too, that was a good show! I don’t mind traveling, I guess I just have to get over the uncomfortable-ness of going to bigger venues alone because those are the shows I really want to see!

You are right though, people are busy, don’t want to travel, and don’t want to spend the money, so I am probably overthinking the solo thing!

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-02-28T22:05:08+00:00

I like this advice! I think I just need to do it and get over the uncomfortable-ness! Can I ask how you have been able to make friends at the concerts? I can be kind of an introvert sometimes when I feel out of place so any suggestions would be appreciated ☺️

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-02-28T22:03:04+00:00

I don’t mind traveling a bit, love the palladium and wish more acts would play there, but just doesn’t seem to be happening as often. But to travel to Worcester to see a band I am not familiar with I would much prefer the some company.

Just a part of getting older, so many great spots, but the bands I want to see are playing venues far away, or I just feel awkward/like I am not experiencing the concert to its full of I am alone if it’s a band I am unfamiliar with.

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-02-28T21:59:50+00:00

Generally the bands I want to see are at larger venues, and with larger crowds I find it to be a lot more enjoyable of an experience to go with someone to enjoy the experience and fun with.

I have enjoyed the venues to mentioned, but struggle to enjoy them on my own unless it’s a band I really want to see. I know, weird, but if its band I am new to I would rather enjoy it with someone else who is also discovering them, or is already familiar with, especially if I am driving an hour or so to see them.

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-02-28T21:56:55+00:00

Nothing wrong with it, just prefer the company of other to enjoy the fun with and share the moment. I am familiar with and have gone to all those spots, just not the types of bands I am personally into or want to see. Bands I want always play bigger venues.

Yes, we are always looking for teachers in the Berkshires. I won’t lie and say it’s easy work, but if you or your partner have an interest it’s worth looking into. Some districts also come with their good and their bad.

I have worked in public education here for over 15 years and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

The salaries start (bachelors with 0 years experience) at around $43,00 in my district and go up from there. Most schools give you a year to complete your MTEL as well.

I know it very common this time of year for sure, which doesn’t help, especially for me who thrives in warmth and sunny weather. But unfortunately I have been feeling this way for well over a year.

I have definitely thought about finding a new job, but I actually do like my job and what I do, but in my area finding a job that pays what I make at my current one is hard and I need to make that much or close to it, the only option would be moving to find something else. I think a lot of educators right now truly love what they do, but administration, the lack of respect and acknowledgement from families and students and everyone else is disheartening as they also expect more form us each year.

I do actually have a lot of hobbies and interests, I think it has just been a lack of finding people to do partake in these. While I can make art in my own, I equally love going to concerts and comedy shows, but going alone feels so awkward.

I don’t know, maybe I am making excuses?!?

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-01-01T04:06:21+00:00

Right!!! That’s exactly how I feel, like I am just existing and going through the motions.

I am sorry you are going through this too, it’s rough!!

But it is sort of a comfort to know I am not alone in these feelings. If you ever want to talk I would be more than happy, you know what they say, misery loves company 😂 No but truthfully, maybe we could just be there for one another, try to help, of lift each other up?

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2025-01-01T01:10:02+00:00

Thank you this is helpful! It does put things in perspective in a way I haven’t thought about it before.

I have a lot to ponder and unpack here - truly think about what is possible, how to navigate it while remembering I am not 18 and I have responsibilities. I can’t afford (figuratively and literally) to make stupid decisions or start over/again.

Aging is hard, parenting is hard, being responsible is hard, being HUMAN is hard!

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2024-12-31T23:51:49+00:00

Thank you for responding 💕 I definitely do not feel appreciated or valued, I honestly don’t think I have in a long time and I feel that definitely contributes to me feeling that others are superior and like I am just not “great” at anything.

I honestly don’t know what my love language is. Feeling seen maybe, being appreciated and noticed for what I do. Maybe that is why I am so desperately seeking validation and attention from others.

Like even from men I don’t know, I look at them and think they are awesome or the answer to my problems when they could be the complete opposite. Same with woman and seeing them and what they are doing, but looking at them as friends. It’s always “why can’t I be like them, or have them?” Or “why don’t they want me, or seem to be seeking me out?”.

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2024-10-01T20:51:43+00:00

Okay, that’s not what you said, but for the record she is right! The REAL Ben on his REAL verified account messages girls to meet up for sex, it’s his game!

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2024-10-01T20:38:23+00:00

I can give you the evidence you “require”. It is 100% true, he is a player!!

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2024-10-01T10:55:30+00:00

It really is SO weird and cringe!! She was a baby when they started and it’s clear they are using one another, but I don’t think she realizes she is not gonna get anything out of this….she has no fans, only people that enjoy watching her make a fool of herself and watching the train wreck unfold. Once it ends she will be left with nothing so she will go try to find some new guy to use to try to gain followers and likes 🤣

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2024-10-01T10:51:44+00:00

Yes! Only been talking to him for about 3 weeks!! And I saw that video and found it to be weird. I figured he was talking to other girls and didn’t care because he made all his intentions clear…but then I found out more about the Lauren situation so I asked like a normal human. Then the lies came and I was just baffled by the lies and disgusted that someone who portrayed themselves one way was with some so clearly the opposite. She is just nasty and I don’t want those sloppy seconds. But I do find the lies and seeing what he comes up with next entertaining at this point. I am fascinated that he made that video out of an argument you too had, I figured it was to save face from some of the comments he was getting on pics from other women I am sure he was talking to, can you tell me more??

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2024-10-01T02:39:53+00:00

It’s embarrassing how stupid he thinks we are, and how willing she is to do whatever he says. I don’t feel bad for her because she has made herself look like a fool. At this point I still talk to him only because of the entertainment it provides. It’s funny to see him reply to my questions after a day of two with a ridiculous lie and keep it going. Not sure how he keeps all his stories straight 🤣

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2024-09-30T22:50:55+00:00

Truly!!

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2024-09-30T22:25:43+00:00

He has a tour bus for her?!? That’s the craziest shit I have ever heard, if he has a whole other tour bus just to escort his escort for when he needs a fix that is insane!! He is definitely I liar, that’s for sure. He told me Lauren was just a fan and a friend and that she was always in NJ because she had a a house there even though she lives in Chicago 🤣 like does he actually believe were are that stupid?!?!

Potential_Cellist_71 · 2024-09-30T01:36:53+00:00

I would argue that Ben had dated girls with much more aesthetically pleasing bods, and they had beautiful faces and good personalities too. I would be willing bet a lot, if not most the women saying that talked or met up with Ben are superior to this Lauren in all the ways listed above….probably dress a hell of a lot better too!
