Divenire

I felt alive tonight.

I went and saw a particular band down at the Joiners in Southampton. Put up with a lot, paid a lot to get there.

Arrived in Southampton around 5 and met up with a few people, drank with a few friends.

They played "Goodbye", a song I have waited years to hear live. And just before, someone amazing reached past the people in the row in front and grabbed my hand for a few seconds. Not the Problemlion's, despite all of the things he can do or all of his problems or that he was standing next to me. Not the hand of the other few hundred people there.

Quite possibly the best gig in a very long time, the best day in a very long time.
