This is not a thought-provoking, philosophical or controversial post. But I think this needs to be posted. I'm sorry, I went back on my word, but after Sakura-con did not exist until today. I promise you guys, I'll try to have one up tomorrow or sometime soon. As for right now, I'm going to talk about my first rave experience.
I stayed until REALLY LATE, because some how I ended up at the Sakura-Con rave. This night opened my eyes to why raving is such a hyped up thing now. No matter how tired I got last night, I just kept going, I was a little ball of energy just dancing EVERYWHERE. The people were so nice, the group I stayed with was so nice. I cannot believe I did not experience this before. Everyone was just so accepting.
At first it was a bit awkward, and then after I got into it, it just became natural to dance. It didn't matter how I danced and no one was there to judge, everyone was just there to have fun. Although people kept bumping into me and I kept bumping into them, it was all good because everyone was just there to have fun so it didn't even matter. I've never danced so much, or so close, or sweated so much before in my life (except for when I was doing Insanity) but that honesty is besides the point. I think last night truly opened my eyes to the scene. I have never had so much fun and been so tired before. The music just flowed through my body, and it was as if the music took over my body. Everything I did just felt so natural and I'm glad I got to experience it with my close friends, friends and strangers who aren't so much strangers anymore.
Imagine a little girl, well I'm not exactly THAT little, but a 5'3 girl jumping around everywhere, dancing, all hyped up and sweating and running and screaming. Yeah, that was me. I was completely out of character, but strangely I have never felt so in character. Anyway, my first Sakura-con experience was totally a memorable one. I have never had so much fun in one day before. Big shout outs to my work place for hooking it up with passes to Sakura-con. Big props to those who dragged me out last night, big props to those who stayed with me and danced with me. I love you all. Like, I can't even speak right now from screaming "eat sleep rave repeat" and screaming in general, my voice is gone. My voice is so raspy I sound like a dying person. But I am so content with everything right now. I'm looking forward to Life in Color.
