It was an extremely hard experience for me. It sucks because I’ve been going to festivals for years, and love that counterculture. I loved the art and everything and the people I met (mostly) were incredibly lovely. But I was out there for a month and had to watch my partner of 5 years fawn over someone else and I had to live with someone else who wouldn’t shut up about her. Plus living in a harsh environment in a tent? It was hard.

I’d love to go back someday with friends but couldn’t say I have a desire to go anytime soon!

You can have compassion towards the old times. That’s how I found healing. Loving someone through all the different versions of themselves, even the ones that hurt me, because I know they can do better and they weren’t vibrating at their highest frequency at the time because of the situations that had unfolded. It’s best to let go of expectations, . And recognize that they can’t always meet you where you need them to, but don’t have expectations that they will. Just love purely and freely.

Interesting point. I took a Africana studies class in college and one of the debates with this opinion is that by believing someone was a product of their time, it erases the people who actually did believe that black people deserved rights and were equal like the whites during this period.

Just food for thought.
