every time i go to a rave it feels like i gain something out of it,
like another door in my life has been opened
if you still haven't gone to one in california,
YOU MUST.
you don't have to be all into "techno"
you don't have to have interest in the "scene"
you don't have to do any drugs
all you need to bring is that thirst for life and that need to dance
when you go to a rave you can act and dance however you'd like,
no one would judge
in the rave environment, everyone is friendly
everyone is caring
and no, its not because of the drugs
it's because everyone is there for the same reason you are: to enjoy life and feel connected with other people that have the same interests
thirsty? ask the person next to you for their water
100% they would let you drink some
need a cigarette? ask the person next to you
if someone has their head down and theyre by themselves against the wall
atleast 5 people will approach him and ask
"hey man are you okay?"
"hey do you need any water?"
a person that you have never met would be willing to spend money for you
but go to a rock concert, someone will be throwing up
no one would give a fuck
step on someones shoe
youd get a dirty look shot straight back at you
i can recall confronting this guy because we were trying to cross paths
he happily took 1 step back and said with a smile,
"go ahead"
i can say that i have not found this immense amount of kindness anywhere else
but a rave
when everyone has that sort of connection, an aura arises from the atmosphere that
envelops the rave
it's not all about getting as fucked up as you can to crazy music
it's about feeling human, and being human
in a rave you are not restricted by society
(except the obvious: no going around and killing people, etc.)
you're not told by anyone to stop what you're doing,
you're free to roam around and create chaos
yes, a rave represents utmost chaos,
but it is orderly chaos
the cops and security guards watch from the sidelines,
but they won't do anything to stop you from living
it almost feels illegal that such things can exist and happen on this world
bright blinding lights, pulsing ear-bleeding music, people on drugs by the thousands
and yet the police watch from the sidelines
going through just one rave will change your life,
i guarantee it
sure, you may have fun in your life
partying, drinking till your stomach falls out
but a massive rave is a different kind of party
it's an experience that you need to go through in order to
fully understand what i'm trying to say
and i'm determined to bring a large chunk of vegas over there :)
anyways
