Summer 2025 Duffy Boat Ride changed me forever.

*Disclaimer* The boat never actually told us how she identified but we hoped she would correct us if we were wrong.

Thank you to the captain @orazack for building this boat from scratch, teaching us how to read the constellations like Magellan, and sailing us all the way out to the edge of the earth in under two hours 🫶🏽💋

My parents were on their third or fourth separation when I discovered @rilokileyofficial at 12. The symptoms of my depression that would go unmedicated until I was 28 were showing for the first time. I felt ugly, emotional, and lived in a constant state of anxiety that the world would literally end in some biblical, catastrophic event. (Think asteroid or plague).

I would lay in my bed and journal and cry and listen to A Better Son/Daughter, imagining the day that I wouldn’t feel like a disappointment to my mom (who has never once called me a disappointment, I was just emo) or myself. The pressure I put on myself to be happy and perfect and the most adored person in the room has weighed on me for such a long time, I never thought I would be free from it. But I also never thought I’d see Rilo Kiley perform live.

Here I am, on Saturday at @justlikeheavenfest, crying with my best friends. My college besties, who upon meeting them were asked, “Do you know who Rilo Kiley is,” as a shorthand I asked every new person for, “Will you understand me?” And crying with my sibling, who can now understand why I was so emo on those family roadtrips where I subjected the whole car to Rilo Kiley’s discography during the hell on earth part 1 of my adolescence. I’m crying for the part of me that cried from the pain of being misunderstood, mostly by myself.

Napster recommended Rilo Kiley to me, and they low key saved me. This is my save my life band. I hope everyone has the opportunity to cry at their save their life band’s show. I hope everyone has the opportunity to understand themselves 🖤
