I have learned through my long years on the planet a few lessons:
* Bitterness only hurts me - it won't change anything
* I will have my chances at mind-blowing experiences (and have already had a few)
* Being positive helps me be a happier person and nicer to be around when my chance comes (and every day)
* No matter how good something looks now, there could be something even better right around the corner
I was thinking this morning about how much I'd like to be at this show. I thought about the two Foxboro shows I went to and the HLaHG premiere and thought - I wouldn't trade those experiences for this one, even though those are already finished, and this one is still to come. So, it's all relative.
AND - I am happy for my friends who get to go. Should I be mad at them just because I can't go too? I try to focus on the positive - some of us get to go - and they will bring back lovely treats for us - stories, photos, who knows?
Honestly, your chance will come - try to look forward to it and don't worry about this one show you're missing. Just prepare yourself to enjoy your opportunity when it comes.
Edit: And one more thing - if the bitterness threatens to strike - I go do something else to take my mind off it for a bit - it's surprising how much that helps smile.gif.
