\ud83c\udf8a My life is still a festival \ud83c\udf8a<\/h2>\n

Festival Boy Brian. That is not who I am anymore. Still searching for Freedom, but now in a different way. From the inside and not from the outside. Where I used to have an aversion to who I was, I am starting to appreciate and love Festival Boy Brian more and more. Because despite the fact that the last two or three years of my festival use were purely about escaping, the years before that (most likely escaping without me realizing it) were a huge laugh. The parties, the indoor and outdoor festivals, the afters. They have given me so much and I increasingly see that it was necessary. Necessary to get where I am now. This too may be seen. After all, it was a big part of my life until a year ago. And no, I would never want to go back to that time, but damn did I laugh \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

Grateful for everyone who has been part of this from my 18th to my 28th. Also called \u201cMy life is one big Festival\u201d. And now it is still a festival, but with a different approach. An approach to make the world a beautiful place full of love, connection and harmony. A world full of joy where every day is a party!<\/p>\n

\"Mijn<\/h2>\n

\ud83c\udfb5 Living for the Moment \ud83c\udfb5<\/h3>\n

The years went by<\/p>\n

And we lost sight
\nOr the guys back then
\nWe used to rule the night
\nAnd still I never will forget
\nOr will regret
\nThose times that we had
\nWe were the kings of night
\nAs we stood side by side
\nWe used to rock the place until the early light
\nI remember how we sang along
\nTo every song
\nThose times, they are gone
\nBut still, I feel
\nI miss those days
\nWe spent together
\nYeah-yeah-yeah
\nSometimes I wish I could turn back time
\nAnd be there once again
\nAnd in my head I see the pictures
\nOr how we used to be
\nSo one thing will remain
\n'Cause I still love the memories of those days<\/p>\n
