I hate to say goodbye!!!
This is it. The beginning of the end, or perhaps the end of the beginning? This has been a journey that will never be forgotten. I’ve gained a new family, and memories that will at the very least fuel several ridiculous screenplays…I kid, they resonate deep in the whole of my being. They really do. But I wouldn’t be surprised if a character resembling Sean suddenly became the ‘next big thing’ at Sundance. Oh how I hope.I’ve been finding myself saddened by the thought of leaving this world, the Van’s Warped Tour that I happened upon several months ago, but I must keep in mind that I’m leaving with a new sense of freedom, love in my heart, rhythm in my soul, and a heck of a lot of photographs. If there’s anything I’ve picked up here, it is that change is bound to occur, threatening my sanity at times, but acceptance and one foot forward will always soften the blow.
I have definitely embraced the truth this summer (no pun intended), and will allow the depth of such discoveries to evolve in my head and my heart. It has been an amazing summer. Amazing.
For those of you who read this blog, I appreciate the time you’ve taken to do so. To all of the people I’ve met across the United States (I can now say I’ve been to a large portion of this country), thank you for allowing me to dance for you, to smile for you, to strike up a conversation that I find of the utmost importance…All of you have changed my life. Thank you. Thank you. Countless thank yous. I have a lot of hope for the future, if the generations I’ve sampled out there are any indication of who will be running this world.
I thought long and hard about how to end this thing appropriately, and I decided upon this as my last statement pertaining to life on this tour:
An unnamed truth crew member totally had to poop on the side of the road today… “There’s beauty in the breakdown” –Frou Frou
PEACE.
Much love,
Jeannine
