It may sound stupid or even simple. Hell, it might even sound a little childish, especially considering I'm 25 years old.
However ... seeing Hanson in concert on Sunday and getting the opportunity to shake Taylor's hand made ALL of the abuse, the bullying, and the self harm worth it. Their music got me through so much when I was in middle school and high school. Not to mention, being fans of theirs and STANDING up for myself for being a fan has made me the strong person I am today.
I don't totally love who I am. At least not yet. I'm getting there though. For now, I take comfort and peace in the moments that remind me that I am a good person and that I might actually have something to contribute to this world. It's not perfect, I'm not perfect but it's like I like to say .... perfection is boring. True happiness is in life's imperfections.
So thank you, Isaac, Taylor, and Zac. For 14 years I've used your music to help me escape and it's taught me how to be a strong, confident person. Your concert was amazing and I can't wait for the next one.
