I wrote this over two years ago, back when I was die-hard candy and the word "rave" wasn't so out of style. I came across it tonight, and well... I don't know. Just felt like posting it.
If there's one thing I remember about my first rave it's the feeling of love. At the time I was completely oblivious to the scene, but after only one night I knew what it was all about. Without anyone having to tell me. And knowing what the scene is suppossed to be about is what has made me come to love it. I dive in, head first, letting myself get swirled up by the waves of the music, the wind of all the kiddies dancing by, and the thick sheet of love that tries to save us all from hitting the floor. Each day I wake up, the sun seems a little brighter and the world a happier place. I let the small things, like bireds chirping, a light breeze on a sunny day, or a beautiful tiny flower in the lawn, make me smile. I let the shining sun and the beautiful sky make me appreciate how lucky I am to be alive and to be able to experience the things I do. And best of all, I've regained the ability to believe in magic and the beauty that lies within everyone. Which in turn has freed me from the harsh, cynical, pessimistic person that I once was. Of course I still have problems and personal issues, the same as every other living human being, but I've learned that no matter what the case, it's probably not the end of the world. Like many of you, I've come to see the dangers and dramas that have recently become somewhat prevalent in our little happy smurf society. And like many of you, I don't appreciate it. BUT if we are to start attacking or waging war on others, then we are abandoning all that has become sacred in this society that is suppossed to be represented by four of our favorite letters... P.L.U. And R. And being ravers, I know that each of you, somewhere inside, whether it be found easily or not, has the ability to be accepting of others and what they respresent, regardless of whether you agree or not. Because, I have learned, differences are something that should be celebrated, not destroyed. Now, I hate preaching, especially to people I don't know... and I'm sorry if that's what I've been doing this whole time. So to all who are still with me here, I thank you. It's just that I began playing in this scene at a moment where everything seemed beautiful and that's why I built my sandbox in it. I just wish that we could find that peace once again, and rave, unified, into the night.
Damn... it's crazy how much changes in two and a half years.
