from the first time i went to a concert when i was 14, i knew i wanted to be around live music as much as possible. there is no feeling like experiencing music alongside hundreds (or maybe even thousands if it’s a bigger artist) of people. everyone is there for the same reason. concerts are a place, a lot of the time, where people can lay down their differences and anxieties and just be together. i have been lucky enough to meet some of my dearest friends while waiting in line for doors to open at shows. it’s also just so adorably human to sing and dance (and maybe even cry) your heart out with so many other people. it just fills my heart up like nothing else <3

I loveeee doing this you can just focus on the music and why you’re there to begin with and sometimes you even make new friends with similar interests (the artists!) and I love how music brings people together I love concerts

there is nothing better than a solo date to see a band you love. no shouting over the crowd to your date, freedom to dance as crazy as you want, peak people-watching. get as drunk as you want, who cares. talk to a stranger or don’t. tip the bartender and merch person, befriend the bouncer. you are the main character when you are on an adventure with yourself. who knows you better than you…? music is so euphoric and transformative, i will always cherish my solo concerts

concerts are so good and they pay dividends!!! pre-concert bonding of listening 2 the songs together & getting to know them—post concert joy of reliving the experience when you hear the music again 💖

this world is too cold and life is too short to not make sure that the people around you know you love them, that they matter to you. stop this mindset of needing to be nonchalant!!!! if someone leaves you after you tell them you love them, well, they weren’t mean to stick around anyways. tell your friends, your family, your lovers that they are what makes life worth living! that they are sunshine personified to your heart and soul!! the real ones will stay, and they’ll tell you the same. too many people don’t realize how loved they are. 2025 is the year of telling people you love them. flat out.

i’m definitely not the first person here to make a rec about this, but my tired brain is truly rejoicing. i have a very hard time completely leaving it since i communicate and share creative work through the app, but i think i’ve decided i will only be on it once a week or when i need/want to post. that’s all. as an already anxious person, seeing the same anxiety-inducing general information (as in something i could easily find on google or a news app) be reposted by 20+ people on their stories has become HELL, especially these last few weeks. not only that, but the constant push of personal opinions about such matters (even if i agree with them) just seems to warp your perception of people. maybe i’m just a wimp, but i don’t think humans were meant to see each other in such a way; we’re not so flashy and impulsive face to face. add the endless scrolling onto that, and it’s downright exhausting and kills productivity. there is so much more dimension and depth to humans and life than what is said or done or seen through this screen. can we please go back to flip phones?
