Friend from years back invited me to a party.. mixed feelings..

Ehhh I want to have an open mind. I do miss the bonfires, art, fire-spinners, other hula hoopers, the music and camp outs.. i do miss having friends who aren’t salivating for the next tier of social status.

I dunno.. I also don't want to invite a bunch of drama back into my life. I don’t miss the frequent social pressure to do drugs and/or be poly. I disliked the pressure to apologize for ‘selling out’ by going back to school and having ‘mainstream’ goals/dreams, as if I owed that tribe an explanation.

But nothing changes if nothing changes, right?
Can’t hurt to go.. probably lol..

Something to remember is that this used to be your life, this used to be your scene. Back then you made different choices than you do now. I would go and just see how it feels. If you dont go, you're left with what if. Go with your friend and it isnt for you, at least you know for sure. It sounds like we were in the same community. Im an EDM DJ and you sounded like the scene I came out of

Kinda.. I never really fit in, but I enjoyed the qualities I mentioned. It was a good time, but got weird once we all started becoming parents and few were making more ‘kid friendly’ lifestyle changes.
I distanced myself after that for the most part.

@WhateverWorks Im sorry you never felt like you fit in. If you dont feel these people will serve you, and you really dont want to go...I think youve made your decision and you wanted some feedback. I hope you find the answer to this question.

I’m not sure if it would or wouldn’t serve me 😅 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve never fit in anywhere anyway, so that’s not a concern. I don miss the creative atmosphere, just not any of the other bs. 😅 @JediJesus
