An electronic musician that I very much admire had a show in my city today. I bought the ticket for $60 online the day it came out (months ago). I've always wanted to see him in person. God, I was dying to see the guy.
As today rolled around, I realized that I easily flip the ticket on the event's FB group, for about $20 profit. For some reason, driving all the way to the event, selling the ticket, shaking hands with the guy who bought it, and wishing him a good time felt more satisfying than any other show I've ever been to.
I know $20 is virtually nothing, and I missed out on seeing one of my favourite musicians, but I feel somehow stronger knowing that I overcame my desire for instant gratification and gave another person a chance to see the artist live. He sincerely thanked me for "saving his a$$". And I made $20.
Is this a step off the sidewalk? Because I feel like it is.
