Pros:
- Having friends who don’t judge you or your music
- Hanging out with people who actually understand
- The thought of having a world with such great music
- The feeling of being in a concert screaming and singing every lyric of the song played by your favorite band
- Having these people you look up to because of their free spirit, emotions and inspiration
Cons:
- Getting isolated from the real world filled with reality
- Idolizing these particular people and not being able to concentrate on your priorities
- Being out-casted by the people who find you and your music different
Either way, I love being a fangirl and I love these bands that help me through alot, but it doesn’t mean I should get carried away as well. That’s why from now on I will balance my priorities and not just be the obsessed fangirl I am. Don’t judge me but I’d like to have a closer relationship with God. That’s why I’ll be focusing on my relationship with Him first. But I’ll still be a fangirl, just without the Idolizing part. Bands will stay in my life, because they’ve been through it the whole entire time and I’m very happy for them.
“Never underestimate a girl’s love for her favorite band. Never think even for a minute, that she won’t defend them to her death. Because it’s not just the music that makes that band her favorite. It’s the guys, the gals. It’s the fans. People whom of which she has interacted with thanks to the band. That band might of saved her life, or just made her smile everyday. That band has never broke her heart and has yet to leave her. No wonder she finds such joy in her music.”
