As much as I wanted and was excited to attend the concert, I was also very hesitant about it because events like a concert generally incite anxiety in me, and I have missed out on many events like the Hozier concert because of my depression and anxiety.
So, I was not sure if I would actually be able to attend this concert. My sister and I attended one of Hozier's concerts during his first US tour back in 2015, so it seemed appropriate that my sister was my "guest" to this performance. I also had some hope that I would be able to make this year's performance since I made the initial performance years ago and that performance included travel to Austin.
Anyways, I MADE IT! I made it to the concert, and, despite occasionally feeling like I wanted to leave, I made it through the concert in its entirety. Although it may not seem like it, this was a pretty significant accomplishment for me - following through on plans for a fairly large event.
Below are a couple of blurry pictures from the concert and a tweet showing that Hozier (Andrew) seemed to enjoy the concert as well.
Thank you to all who have and continue to support me, understand when I do cancel plans last minute, and cheer me on in various aspects of my life.
