Okay I am OBSESSED with your assessment, especially your red rant and your class consciousness. THANK YOU.
I also nearly laughed out loud at "I truly think unless you’re a straight up pink or purple, possibly a turquoise, you aren’t coming here. I would love to take a poll of aura attendees because the only way to excuse this type of expenditure is to worry about it later in a way only some auras can." because, well, I'm a turquoise, I spent a decade going to festivals like Burning Man and Coachella, and "worrying about it later" is EXACTLY how I did that LOLOLLOLOLOLOL.
Literally i woke up at age 30 with like $10k of credit card debt, and I am 100% positive that at least 70% of that was festival-, party-, and adventure/travel-related purchases/decisions. (The other 30% was doing things like renting a house I couldn't afford because the vibe was right and that must mean it was spiritually meant to be and so the money would just come, wouldn't it, obviously? Or putting meals and drinks and cabs on credit because people-pleasing and FOMO meant I could never ever ever say no, stay home, or stay within a budget, ever, but I also was burnt out AF and so I was constantly over-paying for conveniences while recovering. Oh and also all the parking tickets I got while living #VanLife)
(Btw, a lot of that is why i always thought i was purple. Because it always seemed like my life was chaos, I was chasing parties, and I seemed to constantly be self-destructing, financially and otherwise. But turns out, according to my QC, I'm green and turquoise with some inauthentic blue I'm actively working on!)
Aw thank you! It really was. It’s hard to say I regret it, because I’ve lived 20 lifetimes in my 20s and 30s, and the things I’ve seen and done and learned are so cool and interesting and profound. But I can’t say that if I had a chance to do it all over again, I would. It was tiring! And expensive. Lol. And it was v hard to hold on to a sense of self.
Omg the thought of going to Coachella also gives me anxiety. My indigo could never. (But also, if I could’ve gone in my early 20s my purple would’ve been excited lol)
I could never. The heat, the crowds, the parking 😵💫 tbh sounds like a personal nightmare. Even in my early 20’s when I’d guess my purple was strongest, my indigo and yellow must have been strong enough to nope right out of situations like this 😂😂😂 But I love it for the people who love it!
Hah, I was coming to say this. No way you will catch me at a concert in the desert spending that kind of money. 💧💜. I need my bed in my house and quiet music.
💜"We need to go next year"😂😂 😂 Every bit of all of my🌀💛💚 is out on this, or anything like it. 🙃 The HEAT would be the first "road closed" sign, the traffic the 2nd. The cost would actually probably be #1 but there was a time before kids I could justify it. And lawdt, a payment plan for tickets? Loved this post MM!
Really enjoyed this post & how it was written!! I love the blend of energy reads and data about the festival itself i.e. how many attendees purchase via payment plan. It’s an absolute no thank you for me in so many ways, I am with your Indigo!!
Love this breakdown! I went last year and I’m 💜💙🌀 and had the most amazing time! I honored my bludigo and wore comfy shoes and had a backpack packed with everything I could’ve needed, so my purple got to take over once there 😎
I love this assessment! I have been to Coachella several times (it’s easy when you live in Phoenix) and definitely leaned on my purple the entire time. I always had fun (but functional) outfits and I loved the art, the music, meeting new people! There is a special festival energy there for sure. I think I am just bludigo enough to tuck away the indigo and get through, but I have to have a full week of hermit living afterwards!!
One year, I was so exhausted from the heat and people I actually fell asleep in the grass during the headliner The Black Keys. Just layed down in the loud crowd and snoozed while my friends made sure no one stepped on me in the dark 😂 A couple nights later I decided to go to the camp showers and skip Snoop Dogg’s set and it was the best. decision. ever. I may have missed hologram Tupac but I smelled good and washing the crowd energy away really did wonders for me!
It’s been about 7 years since I’ve gone and every year I both equally hate and love that I am not in attendance haha
I love that you leaned into your purple fully, just let a lot of stuff go and being in the flow of both yourself and the event! The perspective def can shape it I’m sure and being around the like minded ppl you were!
Being out for days in the sun, no where sleep really, does not sound like my cup of tea; which, in hindsight, is pretty funny because as a pre-teen/teen, I had this romanticized version of the 60s. I had this thought of how cool it would have been to be at Woodstock. Now, as a 💜🌀adult, I need my comforts, and there’s no way I could see myself enjoying being outside without shelter for that long 🤣.

My purple is super inspired by all your amazing experiences! That must have been some really life changing moments and memories.

The yellow protected you lol
Thank goodness 🤭💛😂
I’ll just say my 💧💜 DOES NOT want to partake lol
I hate traffic, I hate heat, and I hate high cost (no bang for your buck lol)….
Though… I’d probably be down for a rave in the dessert in the evening 🫠 so there’s that 😂😂
I can totally see more 💧s at the indie festivals … like the ones that aren’t well known yet… like the OG Coachella before it catches on
Hah, I was coming to say this. No way you will catch me at a concert in the desert spending that kind of money. 💧💜. I need my bed in my house and quiet music.
My 💙 could never. I like to partake in JOMO - the joy of missing out. 😬
lol same! Watching from afar is fun
For my 💜💙 aura, the prime time to visit Coachella would have been between 2013-2015.
Yeah! I was looking at old photos and it seemed way different

There were these 12,000 glamping tents with their own bathrooms and if it was free… I would have stayed there 🤣
The parking lot and food cost auras 💀 🤣🤣
🤣
The 🌀💜 part of me could not agree with the first sentence of this post more!!!
Hahahha

Now when you talk about it, it sounds fun. My purple nudged me a little 🤣
