One band in particular helped with my depression. When I listened to their music, I actually felt better for a little while.
My friend Abby introduced me to 5SOS. She was a diehard fan, so was my friend Mads. I hadn't understood it up until the point she showed me their music. I made an instant connection with it. Every time I listened to a song, I liked it. I began to slowly become more involved in the fandom. At first I just learned a little about the members, and then I started to watch interviews, live performances, fetus videos, and anything else I could find. I actually understood Abby and Mads' obsession.
I picked my favorite member after being in the fandom for a little while. Michael was Abby's favorite, which made sense because he loved all the same things she did. Ashton was Mads'. She loved his passion and his smile. I started considering Luke, but he just seemed so much like Danny. He seemed too perfect to me. I didn't trust him. When I decided on Calum, it was an extremely easy decision. We both played the bass, which helped me become interested in him. The more I learned the harder I fell. I never officially stated Calum was my favorite, but it was obvious. Every time I heard his name, my heart fluttered. The mention of him brought me happiness.
I turned on my phone and opened Twitter. Social media had become more of a habit of mine since my breakup with Danny. It was a fitting distraction. After a few seconds, I put my phone down. My music blared in the background. Sometimes I had good days, days where there was less pain. Somedays I actually felt good. These days were rare, but they were amazing.
I heard a faint buzz and looked at my screen. Abby. When I opened the text message I expected something unimportant or funny. What I read was so much better.
Abby: My mom found last minute meet and greets for this year!! We can go after the concert!!!
My hands shook violently and I squealed with excitement. My concert was in 2 weeks, and now I was actually getting the opportunity to meet my idols. I could barely contain my excitement, and I immediately called Abby to talk about it. This concert was going to be the best day of my life, I knew it. But I had no idea how good it would actually be.
