Glastonbury 2025…

There are things in life that move me in ways I can’t quite explain, moments that overwhelm me with emotion and remind me what it means to be human. For me, Lewis Capaldi is one of those moments. Glastonbury 2023.

Since then, I’ve found myself checking in on him. Willing him to be okay, not as a fan, but as a fellow human who understands what it’s like to fight something inside yourself while still trying to show up for the world.

That Glastonbury moment, when the crowd sang for him, that was humanity, spontaneous empathy. And to see him return to that stage with such bravery and vulnerability brought the same wave of feeling only this time, in a more elated kind of way.

As someone who feels everything deeply, it’s moments like that that carry me through. They remind me that goodness still exists. That people still care. That even when life is hard, there are still crowds full of strangers willing to carry someone through the chorus.

And maybe that’s enough to keep believing in us…

Because I can never see this enough times…

The Next Day…

I’m not ready to move on from this yet, in fact I may never be. I found myself wondering if it was odd how moved I was by this performance, this comeback. I can’t really imagine anything surpassing it.

But what I really want to acknowledge is the reaction of others. I’ve written often how deeply affected I am by the comments that people leave. I’ve never been able to understand or process how cruel people can be.

But every comment was just heartfelt, genuine, raw and beautiful.

I know that soon again I will see the usual vitriol but for a moment, humanity took over the internet. And I really needed that .
