💚 A Quick Note Before You Read 💚
I know this is a longer post than, but if you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you taking the time to read it.
This isn’t just about a song.
It’s about a journey I’ve been on, some lessons I’ve been learning, and what Festival Queen has come to mean to me.
Over the last few days, I’ve learned a lot.
Not just about confidence, but about learning to be myself without constantly worrying about what everyone else thinks.
I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to make other people happy, trying not to upset anyone, trying to fit into what other people expected me to be. But lately, I’m realizing that I can’t spend my whole life hiding parts of myself just to make everyone else comfortable.
I still leaning this…. but I’m slowly realizing to wake up and being me no Matt what others think.
👑🎵 FESTIVAL QUEEN 🎵👑
This video is a collection of some of my favorite memories, outfits, and moments from Force Fields 2026.
What makes it even more special is that the soundtrack is my own original song, Festival Queen, which I wrote, mixed, produced, and created myself.
This was my first major EDM festival, and it taught me a lot about confidence, self-expression, meeting new people, making memories, and simply enjoying the moment.
Festival Queen started as a joke, but the more I worked on it, the more I realized it was about something bigger.
Before the festival, I stepped outside my comfort zone and wore outfits that made me feel confident, colorful, and happy. Not everyone understood that. Some people judged, some people had opinions, and some people thought I should dress differently.
I’ve been judged for the way I dress, the music I listen to, and the community I’ve chosen to be a part of. But here’s the thing: I’m not the same person I was six years ago, and I’m not the same person I was even a year ago.
People grow. People change. People find new passions and new places where they feel accepted.
Just because I dress a certain way doesn’t mean I’m going to become that person.
I’ve heard the comments. I’ve heard the assumptions. I’ve been judged because of the way I dress at festivals, the music I listen to, and the community I’ve chosen to be a part of.
But here’s the truth: if you’re not part of the EDM community, you may not understand it. And that’s okay. You don’t have to understand everything someone loves in order to respect it.
Wearing fishnets doesn’t make me a ho**er. Dressing up for a festival doesn’t change who I am as a person. It doesn’t erase my values, my heart, or the person I’ve worked so hard to become.
People grow. People change. We’re supposed to.
Every day I’m learning more about myself, what I enjoy, what makes me happy, what inspires me, and where I belong.
For a long time, I worried about making everyone else comfortable. Now I’m learning how to be comfortable being myself.
I’ve also been learning that it’s okay to feel beautiful. It’s okay to feel confident. It’s okay to dress up, take photos, try something new, and feel good about yourself without apologizing for it.
For a long time, I worried too much about what everyone else thought. Now I’m learning that there’s nothing wrong with feeling sexy, feeling beautiful, and being proud of who I am.
Confidence doesn’t make someone arrogant. It doesn’t make them a bad person. Sometimes it simply means they’re finally learning to love themselves.
This community gave me a place where I could be free, creative, accepted, and unapologetically me.
But Festival Queen became a reminder that confidence isn’t about getting everyone’s approval. It’s about being yourself, expressing yourself, and having fun doing the things you love.
That’s what Festival Queen is really about.
Not just confidence.
Not just dancing.
Not just the outfits.
It’s about choosing yourself.
It’s about being free.
And if someone doesn’t like who I’ve become, that’s their choice.
But I’m done pretending to be someone I’m not.
I’m going to be me.
I’m going to be free.
And I’m going to keep dancing to my own beat. 👑✨🎶
So if Festival Queen has a message, it’s this:
Be yourself. Wear what makes you happy. Dance like nobody’s watching. Chase what brings you joy.
And if someone doesn’t like it?
That’s okay.
Because for once, I’m choosing me. 👑✨
✨ Fun Fact ✨
The cover art for Festival Queen was also personally created and designed by me using my own festival photos and creative editing.
Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and reminded me to keep being myself.
Turn it up, enjoy the photos, and welcome to the world of Festival Queen. 👑💚💙🎶
