My biggest moments of extravagance would probably have to be moments of fleeting happiness. Times where I went away to a different part of life or spirituality or just a different state of being. Feeling something inside me that I have never felt before.
- The moment I stepped off the plain and into European territory with 30 other people I did not know and my life as I knew it behind me. No parents, no friends, just the People to People program that I was traveling with. Getting to see everything foreign to me, but relevant in my brain. It was absolutely beautiful.
- Walking around New York City, breathing in the polluted air and loving every second of it. Knowing that one day soon I would be living there.
- Walking around Boston, Massachusetts with my Best Friend and two Cousins with no cares in the world. Absorbing all the beautiful architecture and culture that was thriving around us.
- The moment I saw him sitting in that computer chair in his parents basement looking like no other boy I had ever seen in my life. That exact moment that I fell in love with him. I could never forget how absolutely extravagant, and also undoubtedly heartbreaking, that moment was.
- The Blink 182 Concert of August 2009 with my Best Friends in the POURING rain with nothing but a poncho that wasn't helping one bit. Dancing and flinging our hair around like the rain is what brought everyone closer and what made that concert what it was. Which was more amazing than it could be.
- Just being at any show in general. Live music... there is nothing in this world like it. I can't explain the feeling of euphoria that runs through me when I hear a band/artist play live. It's indescribable and indispensable.
- Portugal. The Man concert number four. Tonight! THIS BAND! THIS FUCKING BAND! They never cease to amaze me. Never once in all 4 shows have I ever been disappointed by these fellas. They've been my absolute favorite for years and years now... this show was brilliant. Tonight was one of the best of my life. I felt so much closer to them as a group. I feel like I have grown with them...as weird and crazy and creepy as that might sound. John Gourley will forever have my heart. I am so much more in love with him and his band than I ever thought remotely possible. Seriously though, no one will ever capture my soul and heart the way that man has. And he hardly knows I am alive. Other than the FUCKING RE-TWEET I RECEIVED FROM HIM TONIGHT!!!! It was about how before they came back out to do an encore Zach told us that Colors (one of my favorite songs of theirs) was actually WRITTEN IN BALTIMORE! I am going to stop before I go to crazy. Just know...that this night means more to me than anything. I don't ever want to forget it. As much as I sometimes wish I would have taken a different path in life...it's nights like these that make me realize how lucky I am to be where I am. How lucky I am to have seen and experienced, already at such a young age, all that I have. I don't ever want to miss this. I want to know it and love it forever. I don't ever want to wake up and not be this person. This person who gets to feel these things just from music, and a live show. The euphoria I receive from being in the presence of genius artists will never ever be explainable. Unless you yourself have experienced it. More-so the way I have. ~the end~
