Next to me was a single young person who had gone to the theater by themselves. This person asked me, &#8220;Is Ghost a new band?&#8221; to which I answered, &#8220;Oh no, they&#8217;ve had 6 or seven albums,&#8221; which was a great guess on my part because they&#8217;ve had six.<\/p>\n<p>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kfmx.com\/pumpkin-trail-2026\/?utm_source=tsmclip&amp;utm_medium=referral\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lubbock Pumpkin Trail Returns October 15 To 18, Seeks Carved Pumpkins<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A Brave Lubbock Kid<\/p>\n<p>This adorable person went on to tell me they&#8217;ve never heard Ghost and have never seen a concert film, but read the description and thought they&#8217;d give it a try. At first, I was a little nervous; Ghost is an &#8220;acquired taste&#8221; band in many ways;\u00a0however, the pride I had for my new friend for trying something new overshadowed my hesitancy.

I actually love doing some things alone, so long as I can motivate myself to leave the house. I particularly like eating a meal alone in a restaurant, as it allows me to truly savor and appreciate my food, the moment, and being alive. I also deeply crave ambient noise like silverware clinking and the low murmur of conversations I can&#8217;t hear.
