A night of $15:
10:45-1:30 ($8): Seeing a best friend completely happy. “I never been this happy in my life”, he screamed. His happiness brings me joy. His journey and his growth brings me satisfaction. He found love. “When you know, you know”, he told me. I remember when he was heartbroken, when I saw him crying because he didn’t knew what to do with his love life, when I drank with him to ease both our emotional pains, when I told him “you would find someone so special, just wait for it”. This guy quit his job and followed his dreams. He’s traveling the world, he found a beautiful girl whom he loves and she loves him in return. Yes! That magic feeling you get when love is reciprocated. When you put a stop to meaningless small talks and empty promises, when useless games stop, when days are clearer, when you are sure you found the right person to share your life with… Of course I’m happy for him! He made my week with his news! We danced, we had fun and we celebrated the magic of everything, regardless of the fact it was top 40 dance music.
1:30-4:00 ($7): 3 girls who felt the night could not end yet. What did we seek? What was it? Fun! Dance! Just careless fun. We talked about love, about lost love, and the new love… on our way to our destiny. We entered a 70’s party. We were free, we danced, we were in the 70’s… we were happy! I released all my stress dancing like a queen. I felt good… I was home…I was in Home Sweet Home. I met someone like me… someone passionate about life, someone who loves what he does, someone different, someone who made me think about myself, someone who asked me while it was raining outside “If you could do anything right now, what would it be?” and I showed him: I danced in the rain, I danced and danced with my eyes closed… I made a new friend. My night was over. What a great night. Went to sleep with a big smile in my face.
This has nothing to do with alcohol or being drunk- no. This story is not about a typical night of 20 something ladies posting meaningless videos of parties and photos of them getting drunk. This night was about love, joy, embracing life, finding myself, finding out more about me, about fun, about the joy of being happy for me and others. It was a celebration of life.
So now I’m here at home with a frizzy rain hair, with a smile incapable of vanishing. I’m here present, happier and ready to take on the world. I am stronger, confident and not willing to share my time with superficial nonsense or with people who doesn’t bring feelings like these ones to my life. I’m so grateful!
Thank you God… my $15 night was the best thing that has happened in a while and Hey August: bring it on!
Me gusta la gente que sin motivos te buscan, que sin mirarte te quieren y sin ataduras se quedan
