To the man dancing slowly at ABS8LUTE

[panic4eva]

You're a man in maybe your late 30s or early 40s. I am a woman in my 30s there with my boyfriend. I was getting very anxious, but you started dancing with me. Instead of moving at every beat, you moved every 4 beats in this slow, flowing, serene manner. I could feel how relaxed you were. You brought me into your circle of calm as we danced for a minute together. You stopped me from having a full-blown panic attack, and since that moment, I've been able to create and return to that same headspace/energy field you gifted me - even now, after Fusion. I ended up having the most transformative time at ABS8LUTE's set, because of what you taught me, and because I was able to let myself go to the (amazing) music. Thank you for gifting me something so precious, as I've been struggling with anxiety my whole life. I hope you read this, and I hope you recognize yourself.
