Missed Connection: Sad queen with a shitty boyfriend at Madrone.
I know this is a long shot, but I’m hoping this reaches the woman I met sitting on the sofas in the back of the Madrone stage.
You were beautiful, fit, and I believe you were Asian. We started talking because you looked really upset. You opened up about how you’d spent a good part of the day supporting your boyfriend by filming content for his walk-around DJ set. Later, after taking some goodies, he left you on your own despite everything you’d done for him. You mentioned this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened, and it was clear how hurt and exhausted you felt.
Eventually your boyfriend, who had long hair ran into you. And again, blamed you from distancing yourself, even though you pleaded him to not invest in those goods. That was the last time I saw you..
I’ve been thinking about our conversation ever since. I don’t have an agenda or expect anything in return. I just wanted to check in and make sure you’re okay.
You deserve to be appreciated, respected, and cared for by the people closest to you. No one should feel abandoned after spending the day supporting someone they love. We should be looking out for one another, especially at festivals, and I truly believe the women in our community deserve to be treated with kindness, respect, and dignity. We should protect our sisters, our friends, and the people around us, and make sure they feel safe, valued, and supported.
If this happens to reach you, I’d just love to know you’re doing alright. I hope the rest of your weekend turned around, and I hope you’re surrounded by people who treat you the way you deserve to be treated.
Wishing you the best. 🫶
