You’re the tiny home girl — Why so many shows, why now, why share?
I share so much of myself with the world — and music is such a major part of that. A big reason I have gone to so many shows in the past few years is because I never had the chance to in my teens, I was watching my mom die, I lived in the country, I didn’t know about concerts, once she passed, I left a toxic home and lived in the city but I was too busy trying to pass highschool and hiding this truth from all my friends. But there were bands that got me through — a very special band I’m going to see tomorrow night is one of them.
In my 20s I worked every night and every weekend, I couldn’t take time off, I went out, went to EDM shows, but emo/metal wasn’t in my life at that time.
My early 30s were spent in early motherhood, beginning our tiny home journey, starting my business.
Something changed over the past few years, artist I love started touring again, some died, but I realized - what am I doing not experiencing them live when I owe so much of my growth and mental health to their music. When I know if I’m having a bad day I can just put on A Day To Remember and disrespect my surroundings. I’m not waiting anymore, for anyone, for permission? I don’t know, I go to shows alone now. It’s fun, and I love to share about it, it’s part of my story, I realize my audience follows me for various reasons but mainly tiny home living and won’t care about me going to se all time low or to a festival but it’s part of who I am. It’s part the part of the reason I’m here.
So now that I have the privilege to go to any show any time I go. And I love it, bring friends, and share my new music obsessions with the world because why not. It healed me, and it still is 🤘🏼♥️
I don’t know this women but I am her, and I’m glad she made this reel 🫶🏼
