The Struggle is Real

I don’t really have words to describe the experience of the last three days. It’s been a musical journey and it’s overwhelming and exhausting but in a really good way. I feel extremely lucky to be able to experience these artists. Seriously though I need to sleep for like a week now. Thursday: @aliceinchains . Friday: @milkandhoneyfestival seeing Chaii, Randa, Carb on Carb and Lexxa. Saturday: @wearepussyriot https://www.instagram.com/madefornewyork/p/Bu0xGwAFApOPA2HhKMdony2QjghJd4_3xyOTS00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nu3t7sxd8a6z

Finally getting around to reading No is not Enough by @officialnaomiklein. While somethings have changed since it was written in 2017 a lot of it has played out how she predicted and it provides an idea of how the future could play out. We need to say “no to the system that has elevated them to such heights. And then let’s move to a yes - a yes that will bring about change so fundamental that today’s corporate takeover will be relegated to a historical footnote.” https://www.instagram.com/p/BqWvAzUFJlEiYbo92_3uXD2AnCK6qreFQXgKJY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ttlhb4m1ei4c

This is my new favourite photo to ever exist. Doing the ole Sarah Paulson “Mum who has just recognised someone” dance move. (at Lulas Bottomless Brunch) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqUM7iTFR6xtRKqLE0VY1R6QbBHRGHqGljnR6s0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4ijog78mqok9

A truly lovely day xx https://www.instagram.com/p/BoWNR3fBctTlod9BDCMsvWDEMHd5Cg1450y7jc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ms7q2p593hoz

Also thanks to Spark for the early entry, drinks and canapés even if @e.koefman and I had to chase down the mini pizzas and dumplings 👌🏼 (at Spark Arena)

Just next level. @celinedion (at Spark Arena)

I have many feelings about @celine so many varying memories of her music being on my life. From my Nana to unrequited love to best friends. Seeing this woman in her full glory last night was unbelievable. Her charm, wit, humour, talent and humbleness is astounding. Thank you @e.koefman for making this happen xx #celinedion #auckland #celine #nowords (at Spark Arena)

This performance by @kitamean is one of my all time favourites. #dragqueen #aucklanddrag #newzealand #auckland (at Studio The Venue)

Happy birthday @j_asminerd_ !! I wish more than anything I could be with you today. In just four years we have been on so many adventures together and I don’t see us slowing down anytime soon. You are the pancake to m my syrup, the bean to my coffee and then tonic to my gin. Love you forever and always xx 🎂🍷🥂🍸🍹🍩🍫🥑🔥🌸🐻👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩💅🏼👸🏼💋💩
