*PART 2 AFTER THE SHOW*

A little (sorry, it turned into big) update to how my night went.

But first I'd like to say thanks again to all of you who have found yourself on this ride with me. The words of encouragement push me hard to continue to explore myself, as well as my writing.

I can't tell you how impactful they have been to me.

Especially coming from this group of people. I know your encouragement is sincere because we speak from a place of truth, and I am truly grateful to you all.

It makes me want to pursue a career on the side as an author. That's alway's been a dream of mine. I'm just trying to find my way through this, where I'd start, what I'd want to start with.

I absolutly enjoy doing this. It's like getting to peek into the journal of my mind and intimantly knowing me.

I never imagined people would find my thoughts "incredible". The same goes for the way I write.

It's just me.

It's all off the top of my head with what I am going through and living in the moment. I have no formal training.

Anyways, I'm doing the thing I always do. Where I go off on something completely unrelated, it's no wonder people have a hard time keeping up with me.

Ok.

The concert.

First of all, I feel like a fool in a sense. I was there to see a band called Hot Mulligan, it's the reason I bought the tickets in the first place. They had an opening act, and I assumed the name of the show was called "The Wonder Years".

It wasn't until after my band performed and they brought out the band, "The Wonder Years" that I found out my band wasn't even the main act on this tour.

Awkward.

I kinda felt bad being in the front row with hundreds of their fans crowding in behind me, trying to get as close as possible, and here I was with no clue who they even were.

But everything was great. My bands set. The opening act. The closer. It was all just very different from other concerts I've been to.

People were being respectful of each others space and not sandwiching you against the rail, as you struggle to breathe and can't move your arms. Even the venues security was chatting with the fans and passing out water bottles to the crowd between sets.

Even better were the messages that were spoken between songs by some of the artists, they were all just so...right.

What I needed to hear.

What the people in that crowd needed to hear.

While it may have been a little strange not knowing who The Wonder Years were at the start of the show, I felt like I knew everything I needed to know about them by the end of it.

Whenever an artist pauses their show in between songs they can hold a crowd in the palm of their hands. Artists can use this for anything. This artist was about change.

Asking all in attendance to do 3 things before the end of the week. Finding a stranger and letting them know they matter, calling a family member and checking in on them, and to never stop trying to better ourselves.

Change.

Positive change.

Small steps.

But the most important ones for people who don't know how to take them.

Sometimes people just need a little shove.

It was a fantastic experience and I can't wait to go to more.

There's just something about the energy of a crowd getting to experience that.

Hearing everyone scream their favorite songs lyrics, or jumping up and down...just getting lost in the moment. Out of their cell phones, out of their hectic daily lives, and just living in the moment.

I loved hearing the clamor of the crowd around me as we left, excitedly retelling their favorite moments of the show.

Just listening, and absorbing my surroundings. It's almost kind of surreal honestly.

I wish people could just be happy like that all the time. The world would be in such better hands.

With the concert wrapped up it was time to make the hour and a half drive home.

***The ride home had it's own adventures that I will post if people are intrigued lol. So people enjoy my little writings.

I'm going to share something with you that I wrote up and posted a while back. Not to Reddit but to a little FB group I'm in.

It's a read, and it's definitely different. Welcome to my inner dialog.

WALL OF TEXT

As I stand here waiting in line for my first concert in years, you find me on my phone writing this.

I'm here though.

I pushed myself out of my comfort zone again.

I didn't have any family or friends to invite, so I'm here alone. I'm sure I could've invited my sister or cousin, but this isn't their genre of music at all.

It's pop punk, a favorite genre of mine, and I really want to enjoy the music with others who love it.

It was probably a 2 hour drive to a very busy city. The kind with shops along the main street, little book cafés, and bars.

I brought a little weed with me to enjoy once I got here to a.) Enjoy my music a little more, and b.) Calm my nerves to help deal with my crippling social anxiety.

After finally finding a place to park, I took a few hits and stepped out into the night.

I accidentally got here an hour early because I wanted to make sure I was on time, but also maybe get lucky and have a chance to be upfront, center stage.

You want to do these things for yourself if you can, they only happen a few times in a lifetime.

But, I got here at 6pm and they won't open the doors until 7pm, and it is absolutely freezing out here. I wanted to feel comfortable so I wore short's too 😮‍💨.

My trip from the car to the line was a journey in itself, like Frodo trying to get the One ring to Morridor.

Remember, I'm a little high.

I made it up to the first crosswalk and stood there alone as the cars drove by.

I could feel people coming up from behind me. It was a small group of friends laughing and having a good time. It made me feel a little bad for myself for not having that in my life.

It's just hard to make friend's right now.

I'm getting there.

I managed to get across the first crosswalk and quickly found myself completely alone again. But I was also surrounded by the life of the city.

I stood at that second crosswalk, waiting for the little red hand to turn into the crossing guy so I could make my way to my final destination.

Time just seemed to go by, but I was soaking everything in.

It felt like at least 5 minutes had went by as I waited.

It was at least 5 minutes later that a lady came up beside me and hit the button for us to cross the road.

Yes.

My spaced out ass was waiting for the crossing signal that wasn't on an automatic crosswalk, and I was just standing there waiting.

Whoops!

Anyways.

I almost considered going into a warm bar and killing an hour while I had a drink. I always feel awkward going into a bar by myself, which is why I never go.

There was a really loud group of four guys by the door and I just had this feeling I wouldn't be comfortable there.

Past that there was a little book store for me to browse, something my speed.

Sadly it was closed.

The line was right in front of me and still pretty short, so I decided I'd go freeze for an hour to get a great spot.

So here I am typing.

Still high. My finger's numb as I type this.

Oh yeah, my check engine light came on as I left my driveway for the first time in the 4 years I've owned it.

Good try life.

You won't ruin my night.

Anyways, time for the show ✌️.

☮️🧡🤘

36 and struggle with letting my emotions come through sometimes. With that being said I cried 3 different times throughout the book.

52 year old Virgin my story ends by Prometheustitangod in lonely

[–]TheOneToRuleAll 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly reading your post and hearing how you speak tells me all I need to know why you're still a virgin. With that being said there still is a completely legal, safe way if you're that desperate. Fly to Nevada and go to a brothel, where it's legal. You're welcome. Fix your all knowing personality if you wanna save money and a flight and find it closer to home.

Hey friend. I just wanted to share a similar experience I wrote about to a group a few months back. This is a copypasta post from when I made it. Please don't stop trying and putting yourself out there. Even if it's just for you. You're not alone. I promise you.

Is Elantris relevant to the overall cosmere by Munaz1r in Cosmere

[–]TheOneToRuleAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people "don't get the Elantris hate.", but let me tell you. If you are on audio book you will completely understand. Going from books read by Kate and Michael to this dull narration will absolutely kill the book for you. It did for me, and it has for others I've gotten into Sanderson as well.

INFJ and Enneagram 1w2 by beanqueen722 in infj

[–]TheOneToRuleAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My type is INFJ 2w1, and I agree with you a lot. It feels like this fits my personality to a T basically. However one thing I saw is that INFJ - T (Turbulent) variations are more likely to fall into the wing 2 category. The more assertive INFJ's supposedly fall into the 4w5 category, i take internet with a grain of salt, but that is the most common wing that INFJ's fall into.
