graciously accepted as I continued to dance the night away, realizing I have not seen my friends since we first walked in. I excuse myself from my new friends and go looking for the ones I came with.I walked through the maze of people, realizing for the first time just how hot it was inside and there and how sweaty I had become. I walked outside. The fresh air invigorated my insides. Realizing it was now dawn, I turned back around to go back inside and continue the search for my friends. As if on cue, behold, there were my friends, gazing upon the heavenly sunrise before us. At that instant I realized why all these people had come. It was a place where they could be themselves, let go, have fun and meet new friends. It was a peaceful place were stereo-types were left at home and people from every background could come together and dance in harmony. Where else could you see a "gangster" sucking on a pacifier? The whole night was full of love, hugging, and back massages. Everyone was smiling and enjoying every second of this euphoria. I left that morning with a feeling of joy and understanding. I had a new sense of peace of mind, unity for my fellow human kind, love for those around me and respect for this thing called a rave....
