Journal of Experiences: A moment in our lives

May 08, 2014

Dear Daniel,

I can't believe this day has finally come, I've waited a year for this and now I'll tell you everything that happened that day. Me and my friends Fernanda and Iasmim couldn't even slept a wink. We were so anxious that we were able to buy tickets for the One Direction concert.

We arrived at dawn in line and we became the first ones. It was very cold and we didn't even take a blanket or something. When dawn has began, the heat came and people were coming. It was getting crowded: fans with banners and shirts, parents accompanying their children, groups of friends singing songs. It was a real party outside and I was thinking about showtime.

The heat was very strong. There was no sign that the we'll get a soft weather. Several hours and hours were passed in that line, in that sun and we weren't able to get in. When we finally thought that our moment of glory would come, it was just one more line to separate the sectors and that's when Iasmim began to feel bad, the pressure went down, there was even a firefighter to help, it was a total madness.

It began to dusk, the sun was slowing down, the heat was passing and after a long wait, we got in. We were there, I was in shock, I couldn't believe that all was happening. We spent so many days waiting, and many nights trying to buy the tickets. I thought I couldn't, but I did it. The crying was the way I found to put out all my tiredness and my fear of not realizing my dream of being there at the One Direction concert! YES, ONE DIRECTION!

My moment came and I was ready to live it, but the wait has continued until the show began. It took time. There were some videoclips and there was an opening band before their concert. They came to the stage singing the song called Midnight Memories. They were making noise, happy and shouting: Brazil, I love you!

It was so intense and I didn't believe that I would hear one of my favorite songs Little Things and Moments in live, in front of me. I felt like they were singing it just for me. There were only me and them at that time. The tears ran like waterfalls, everything was so beautiful.

Their connection with the fans was so beautiful: everyone was singing and interacting. There was shouting, noise, happiness, all in one place, all in one moment.

I think as much as I try to write or describe this moment for you, I think I'll will never be able to make it properly. I'm sorry about this. I only have flashes in my mind, moments in time that I relive every day.

"If we could only have this life for one more day, If we could only turn back time."

Yours, Karine
