Playing a sold out show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder is no small feat. I still cannot believe that we had the opportunity to open up for this amazing band called the Kooks.
The energy, the excitement, and the intensity of being in front of 700 screaming people is so unreal.
It is a night that I will never forget. It was pivotal for me. It was if something broke or was rather awakened in me that told me that playing music for a living is an actual possibility. I believed it in my heart for almost as long as I could remember, but seeing it with my eyes, and experiencing all the emotion and beauty of it actually starting to happen are two totally separate things. It’s really hard to describe. I felt fully at peace, sensing that right where I was was where I was absolutely supposed to be.
Lately, I’ve been waking up a lot earlier than I am used to. I don’t know how I feel about it, but I think I am becoming a morning person. Maybe not. It’s just that I am so excited to start every day, and there is so much good that is going on around me that I just don’t want to waste any moment. It’s also quite strange that this year is almost over. Being 23 didn’t last as long as I wanted it to–it was by far the quickest year for me yet. It’s bittersweet for me. So many good memories, but I wish this year wasn’t almost over. Next year will probably be even quicker.
If you’re reading this, Happy Birthday Phillip and Kate. I’m so happy that I know you both.
