#vibedration

this past weekend, i experienced my very first edc. i went in with the mindset that i was going to leave any and all stress back in new york. i switched off my work emails for 4 days, and put my phone on airplane mode for the entire duration of the festival (that is, until i lost my fam on more than one occasion. lol)

this festival was different than any other i’ve experienced. for the very first time, people were coming up to me because they recognized me from my blog, youtube channel, and/or twitter. i wasn’t expecting this at all.

it started on friday just before slander’s set (which, by the way, was in fact life-changing) when someone tapped me on the shoulder and said, “bebe? you’re the youtuber!” my jaw actually dropped as i went in to give this guy the biggest hug ever. he said that he was the one who commented on my set times video saying that he was also stuck between the excision/A&B conflict, and that i responded saying we’d solo both sets together.

this moment made my night, and was one of many more to come. throughout the rest of the weekend, i got to meet so many more followers from different platforms. it’s an amazing feeling to be able to put faces to names and talk to people as if you’re already family. and that is, because, we are. 

i wanted to come on here and say that if i met you this past weekend, even if it was for a brief moment, please know that our interaction meant more to me than you could ever understand. i feel so lucky to be part of a community that embodies so much positivity, kindness, friendship, peace, love, unity, and respect. this whole experience reminded me exactly why i do this; why i created these platforms, why i started building this brand, and why this is my passion project.

edco is my last festival for a little while, but just know that there is still so much more to come. thank you to everyone who made this the experience of a lifetime. there’s no question that i’ll be back under the electric sky again with you all next year.

happy edc ♡
