Chris, Jon, Guy & Will

My name is Ingrid, I’m from Costa Rica and had the opportunity this weekend to see you in your first world tour concert.

I’m not a mega fan, I do know your most famous songs, but when I noticed you were coming to my country, I knew that for sure I had to be there. Your songs, show and the expectation of being in a concert after 2 years of pandemic, made me feel that I should get to know you better. And also, reading about why you chose CR to be the first country, was amazing, I do believe that this government has done a lot to preserve our country and therefore the planet. I´m very proud of the work they have been doing and your concert is a huge recognition for us. There´s a lot more to do, but we are in the right path.

My plan was not to check much of your other concerts, so I could go and just sit down, relax and watch the show. I did listen to your songs more often since I bought the ticket, but that was it!

The last 12 years of my life have been very tough, a lot of disappointments, heart breaks, decisions and losses. I´ve started all over again several times, with nothing in my hands and my heart, more than me, (which I normally underestimate) and some angels that appeared during the process, helped me get out of bed and move on.

A few weeks ago, and as part of my soul healing journey that started 10 years ago, I went to a retreat that changed the way my heart feels. Since then, I just feel love and gratitude, which is really weird on me, and my friends are saying that I’m kind of crazy. They don’t understand what happened, and to be honest, neither do I, it just happened and I’m happy feeling it.

So, coming back to your concert, when the first light shined, and you started to play, my heart exploded. I felt like never before, (not even with my favorite artists) my heart connected with each of the lights that were moving along the stadium, and feeling each color blowing in my little heart, that felt so big at that moment. I fell in love, with you, with your vibe and with each of the persons that were there excited and happy and loving the moment. I realized that I was about to cry, so my ego stopped me for a second, reminding me that I’m not that fan of Coldplay, but I threw my ego away from the stadium, and enjoyed the entire show, dancing and singing as I’ve never done before.

Then my favorite song came: Adventure of a lifetime. I sing this song to my inner child, every time I succeed in something that I know she always wanted. She has been thru a lot; I haven’t taken care of her often and I’ve blamed her for the decisions she’ve made. So now, that I made peace with her and truly love her, I dedicate this song, because we (both) are ¨diamonds taking shape¨, and that makes me feel ¨like I´m alive again¨. I don’t have the words to express my gratitude to you, for writing this song and allowing me to listen to it at this moment of time, as this song has been part of my healing process. I hope that this THANK YOU gets to you with the same energy and love that I’m sending it. Thank you for being part of my healing, for being one of those angels that came along in my life to help me move on. Your music will always be in my heart and my soul, and hopefully transcend to another life(s).
