Celebrating Me with a Solo Date Night (and Karol G)

I am celebrating me with a solo date night – and Karol G. That’s right! I am wining and dining myself like any man should, would, and does. Because I deserve it and I claim it! 

I am a goddess after all. (Fun fact: “I am a goddess and I am always treated as such” is one of the self-concept affirmations that I repeat daily.) I truly believe I should be courted and pursued. Thanks to inner work, I love myself more and more every day

I didn’t always feel that way. On the contrary, I would often settle for less in love and life because of a low self-concept. That’s the old me. Today, I am a new woman. And I am celebrating all of me and my splendor with Karol G! 

That’s right! I AM celebrating me by attending the Karol G concert at Gillette Stadium.

I decided to do something amazing for myself. Since 2022, I’ve wanted to see Karol G in concert. When she performed at Barclays in Brooklyn during that time, I had my son and so I could not attend. I was bummed but determined! A believer that our thoughts create, I said to myself: I am going to see Karol G in concert. It’s decided! 

And we always get our desires if we persist in wanting that desire. 

Prior to 2022, I didn’t know much about Karol G or her music. I knew a song or two, like “Tusa” featuring Nikki Minaj, but I had yet to dive into her discography. When she dropped her single “Provenzia” I had to hear more! I searched her previous albums on Apple Music and listened to them all – and I loved almost every song. She often sings about love. That’s my kind of music!

It helped that I found her music the summer that I met a special someone. It was the summer of 2022. Her tunes were always blaring in my car when I drove to meet him for date nights and when I drove back to my place after spending the night with him. 

So, I am officially a Karol G fan. I even created a playlist of my favorite songs of hers. Her single, “Provenza,” is featured in a lovemaking scene in Candi, my first romance novel in the Heights of Love series. (You can purchase Candi on Amazon here!)

I now continue listening to her music as a way to celebrate me. 

Because, just like I and many other women in this world, Karol G has gone through heartbreak. She loved a famous artist who betrayed her and her relationship. She sings what she knows, like most creatives. 

There was a time when I wrote about my painful relationships as well. I don’t write these stories anymore. Today, I choose not to be that broken-hearted girl. In my reality, men always reciprocate my feelings. However, the old version of me would cry over her songs. The new version of me celebrates me and my progress and evolution. And the new version of me will be singing her songs loudly at her concert! 

You can manifest a celebration of you too.

Just like I manifested attending this Karol G concert. This is how it all went down.

After she performed at Barclay’s, she had another concert in September 2023 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. That very weekend I was out of town in Pennsylvania celebrating my sister’s birthday. Still, I kept affirming: I am going to go to the Karol G concert. 

When out of town that very weekend, a friend of my sisters came over for drinks and began discussing his trip to Vegas, where he saw Beyonce in concert with his daughter. I saw Queen Bey in New Jersey with my sister. He mentioned that tickets are much more affordable when you see popular artists in cities that are less popular. When he did the math, he realized that a weekend trip to Vegas, including flight and hotel, would be a more frugal option than going to see Beyonce in concert in Philadelphia. 

Soon after, I mentioned to him that I really wanted to see Karol G in concert, but it was that very weekend. “I wonder if she’s performing anywhere else that’s local,” I said. “I really want to see her.” 

He grabbed his phone and looked up her concert dates for me right then and there. “She’s performing at the Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts and tickets are so cheap!” he said to me.

I am rich as fuck so money did not factor into my decision. I just really wanted to see Karol G in concert.

“When?” I asked. 

“September 28th.” 

3 weeks from now, I thought. Should I? I pondered that for a week before it hit me: this is the manifestation of my desire!

I checked my schedule and it was all clear. Where there were not one but two scheduling conflicts before, there were none this time. And being at my sister’s for her birthday and her friend sharing his story about seeing Beyonce in Vegas was no coincidence.

Going to my sister’s for the weekend was part of my bridge of incidents so I could celebrate me with Karol G. Because our desires always manifest!

It was also part of my bridge of incidents to treat myself. I promised myself earlier in September that I would enjoy my life fully. That I will choose joy every day, do the things I want to do, put myself out there, and do so boldly – even if I have to do it alone.

And so that’s what I am doing! Celebrating me at the Karol G concert.

Lesson here: do what you love even if it’s by yourself. Take a risk even when it’s scary. Life is too short to sit at home wishing you were jamming to “Amargura” when you can actually be jamming to “Amargura.”

I hope this story inspires you to find one thing to do today (or even in the next 3 weeks!) to celebrate you. Maybe it’s not a concert, but you can manifest a solo vacation to the Caribbean, a staycation, or even a day at a spa. Whatever you desire you can have it!
