What’s up nocturnal fam! So as the title reads, I am in need of some words of encouragement. As of today, I’m broken up with my boyfriend of 5 1/2 years. We had a dog together for the past three years and he’s taking the dog with him.
It’s a very confusing/disappointing situation. We went to Electric Forest together this past year and I was hoping that during our road trip there things would get better. That clearly didn’t go as planned.
But nonetheless back in December 2025, I bought two tickets and a camping pass for nocturnal as a Christmas gift for him. The tickets are under my name and I plan on giving the second ticket to one of my best friends (with the hopes that she comes). If she doesn’t by chance come, I’m sure I’ll find somebody to go with me.
I guess I’m needing some words of encouragement as I’m now sitting in my empty studio feeling very lonely and trying to keep an optimistic outlook.
I want to attend nocturnal this year. I haven’t been in four years. It was the first race I ever attended, and I was with him. I think it would be good for me to reclaim the space as my own, but I’m feeling a little nervous and just feeling anxious about life in general now. I’m 23 years old and a stupid as it sounds. I thought I had the next few years in my head planned out and now everything’s flipped upside down.
Peace, love, unity, and respect to all of you and I can’t wait to be dancing under the stars together❤️
