First Headline Shows :')

 Well helloooooo - 

The last two weeks have been the most incredible weeks of my life. 

First headline shows are done. I will remember those nights for the rest of my life. I love music. I love my band. I love you guys. Thank you so much for caring about me and my music and showing up. I think we could all feel how special the energy in the room was. 

I went home and journaled after both shows and wrote down my favorite moments so I'd remember them forever. 

My favorite moments from both shows were:

- Hitting my head on the speaker at Baby's

- Screaming whore so loud with you all healed me lol 

- imytn. I think this was my favorite song of the set. I cried in New York when you guys started singing it back to me. 

- Reading all of your letters after the show, including the whole scrapbook that Sam, Sarah, and Madeline organized. It was the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me. 

- When everyone held up roses for Bad Guy in LA

- Doing my nightly jump-up-and-down-in-a-circle-while-I-try-to-make-an-inspiration-speech with my band 

- Hearing how much you loved the openers Margot and Lauren, and hearing them say how kind and attentive you all were 

- The Neighborhood signs in LA

- Handing out the physical tickets we made for the shows. I wanted to make them as proof that you guys were here at the beginning. 

- The boy who dressed up in a pickle costume all the way from Portland, you and your girlfriend are so awesome

- Andrew's guitar solos 

- Meeting everyone at merch. You are all such special people. And some of you came from so far away?? I'm so lucky that I get to know you. 

- Having my parents and friends at both. They mean so much to me and are so supportive (even when I am bad at answering my texts)

- Playing my new songs with new arrangements, and getting to play one with Jake in LA

It's weird being aware that your dreams are slowly coming true. I know it's only the beginning, but I feel so excited for the future. There are so many things I haven't done yet and so many songs I haven't written. I can't wait to do this again. Thanks for being here. The Neighborhood forever. 

Love love love,
