I went to a music festival by myself in a different city recently. Raving alone reminds me how much freedom I have. I really enjoyed myself !

I enjoy:

Being able to go anywhere I want without having to explain myself

Not have to deal with drama from other ppl. Like some people are always having crisis and issues 24/7 and making everyone else deal with it at a festival out of all places…

Don’t have to talk to anyone in a set

Don’t have to deal with someone anxiously looking for person for several hrs

Sit when I want wherever

I don’t have to deal with anyone’s bs

No controlling people micromanaging everything I do.

I don’t have to listen to people rant or vent about anyone else in the group. The shit talking is what turns me off me the most.

I have a bad experience with groups in general. For example, this music festival I recently went to: When a rave group adopted me, I thought they were nice, but I was drunk and these strangers asked to stay with me. I sobered up and realized it was a bad idea because I’m a tiny person and I don’t know how to fight or if they’ll steal my things. So when I said no suddenly they had no need for me and I never existed . Then I met another person who talked to me, only to talk shit about everyone else around them. It’s insane how many ppl r out there trying to … do these bad vibes things.

I don’t wanna paint just a negative picture. A lot of people showed me love too 💖. But I like being the driver of my own adventure.
