I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while so better late than never. I can’t believe it’s almost been a year since my second return to Tomorrowland. I feel so incredibly blessed that I was allowed to attend again as I was invited by a lovely group whom had room for me. I remember being the only one in this group who had previously attended the festival and was so excited to share all my tips. We were able to stay at this bed and breakfast using a Friendship package and even had our own private shuttle to and from the festival everyday which was so nice. I got to share a room with my wifey and we had the master suite like the queens that we are. I remember feeling so excited and full of nerves at the same time. All those feelings turned into pure panic once news of the mainstage burning down hit all of our phones. I remember being in the Uber heading to our house in Amsterdam when we all got the videos and texts of those images. I could not believe what I was seeing with my eyes, but one of my friends very quickly reminded me that this edition of Tomorrowland would be unlike any other years if not even more special. I remember telling wifey, we don’t need the mainstage we ARE the Mainstage. Coincidentally, our first day outfits were fire and ice to go with the mainstage theme. So yes we were indeed embodying the theme. Regardless of the stage incident, we were all able to embark on our journeys and had an incredible time. I even had a beautiful Spanish man fall in love with me. After meeting him on the first day I knew that if the universe wanted us to reunite it would happen and that’s exactly what happened on day two and we got to dance and take pictures at one of my favorite sets of the weekend. I can tell you that after day two of the festival I was beaming from ear to ear and was so filled with joy that I didn’t even need a day 3 the weekend had already been that special. I love that the both times I’ve attended it rained on day 3 so it felt like it was history repeating itself. I don’t know about you but for me festivals are where I feel like my most authentic self. Nothing brings me greater joy than dancing and being around my friends. I am so happy that I not only shared this experience with my wifey but with my festie bestie whom I met in the jungles of Tulum. How lucky are we that they captured us on the livestream of our DJ husbands set and also in the after movie. There are thousands of people who attended the festival but the camera still found us, wild if you ask me. I finally saw the Symphony of Unity and man did that have me in tears it was that beautiful. I will never miss the symphony ever again and kind of mad at myself for not seeing it the first time I went. I know better now. I hope to make my return to Tomorrowland next year. I told myself that for my 3rd time I would love to attend with the loml. Whom that is, I don’t know but universe if your listening can you send him to me already because I want to take him to Tomorrowland, thanks. I have such an appreciation for life itself after I get to experience magical weekends like this. I feel so grateful that in this lifetime I’ve not only been once but now twice to this magical place.
