You only live forever in the lights you make.

There is nothing I enjoy more than touring the world with my favourite band. Honestly, it’s the only thing that really makes me happy and actually feel alive. On that barrier, in a room full of like-minded people, is the only place I truly feel like I belong. And it’s the only time I’m ever really happy to be me, because my heroes notice me, and I just feel like they understand me better than most people in my life.

At their shows, I can escape reality and get lost in the music and excitement for the night. There is no feeling like it. I can’t explain how addictive it is. I swear the feeling has to match any kind of high people get from taking drugs.

They are my drug.

They fill the void inside and give me something to look forward to. They are the only thing in the world I am actually committed to. The only thing that motivates me to keep working at a mundane job, to earn money to see them. People think I’m a spoilt, rich kid because of the amount of times I’ve seen them.. but I’m not. I’m just extremely single-minded and I spend practically every penny I earn on them.

I may not have an idea of what I want to do with my life in the long-term, but for the time being, chasing that feeling of true happiness is all I care about. They are all I care about. And I know one day, they won’t be around, but that’ll be the day I move onto the next chapter of my life. Right now, I’m perfectly happy with this one. I look forward to seeing them as much as physically possible on the next tour.
