SARAH BETTENS - Tivoli, Dec 7, 2007
Lezzies on my left
Lezzies on my right
Lezzies all around me
Yesterday night was the beginning of the rest of my life, I'd like to think. I deliberately went alone so that no one would ruin my experience. Just standing there in a room filled with loving lesbians would have been worth the money. Women standing in front of the stage, arms wrapped around each other made me BELIEVE. The people saying that all of us there yesterday night are wrong and are going to hell can kiss my ass. All that crap sounds so pathetic now, the room could not have been filled with more love and peace as there was yesterday night. I felt at home. Part of something I am not at all familiar with yet but it felt good. Talking with other lesbians, sharing our love for (one of) our icon(s): Sarah. Sarah looked hot, played the guitar like there was no tomorrow and she completely blew the roof off. The set list was awesome; I loved the fact that she played Come Over Here and that she performed the hot little dance I had first seen her perform on video the afternoon before the show.
I loved the fact that everyone was dancing, jumping and singing along. My eyes must have almost dropped out of my head watching Sarah and watching all the cute couples around me.
And right now, I don't want to continue with my life as if nothing happened. That concert was a life- altering event for which I need the time to process all the images burning on my retina.
Sarah was loud, out and proud; everything I want to be; is that too much to ask?
Yesterday night, screaming along (nice play with words, huh?) I decided that I will not let people walk over me any longer. I will NOT let the shame reign my world any longer. I will proudly say my name and not be ashamed of the person behind the name. Óh yes I know that this won't happen just like that; it's a process which needs its time. But I have the time. I'm only 18, I can wait. But now I know that someday I will stand there in the audience again, arm in arm with my girlfriend.
I think it's about to contact my cute classmate...
