I Can't Quit This Fangirl Life

We’re all acutely aware of how much of a fangirl/boy we are but we can’t do anything about it. This post does not promise a way on how to quit because the writer does not know of ways on how to either. The following paragraphs simply are the writer’s thoughts on her fangirl ways.

It’s hard living the fangirl life that much I am sure of. From spending hours on the internet creeping your favorite band to cashing out a sum of money for merch that are always pretty enough for you to buy despite costly international shipping to ALWAYS having mini-heartattacks when news of a new album or tour is announced or a new single is released. We’re all so emotionally attached to these stupid bands, some of which don’t even bother to reply to our endless tweets, we wouldn’t know how to survive if ever we do find a way to quit them so eventually, we don’t.

I keep on complaining on how hard it is to be living this life. How sick I am of these stupid bands constantly running my life just by existing and making great music but that’s the reason why I’m in this position in the first place. These bands have reached out to me and to so many people just by making music they believe in and stand for and being a fan of this, I feel like I’m standing up for something I believe in, too – that I’m a part of something bigger and have found a place where I belong and won’t be judged.

I’ve grown to realize that you don’t need to be on top of everything all the time. You don’t need to hear the new single as soon as it comes out or you don’t have to pre-order the new album or have every single record they’ve released in your discography because it doesn’t make you any less of a fan.  I know I’ll grow out of this “fangirl phase” someday and to be completely honest, I’m already starting to. We can’t always be teenage girls/boys who fawn over these celebrities as much as they won’t be making music forever but we will always have a special place in our hearts for them and for their music.
