I understand if you don’t have the time to read this, ever, but I thought I’d write this to show how much you have changed lives of so many people over the past 6 months - whether you realise it or not. Now I know my username implies I am a Harry fan, but I assure you - I love each and every member of one direction equally. I guess I should start off by thanking you for following me in the first place; I have been going through a pretty rough patch in my life recently and you simply clicking my follow button lifted my spirits beyond belief. Not only did your follow make me feel reassured and optimistic, months ago when you posted video diaries each week; a smile never failed to reach my face. Whether I was having a bad day at school or feeling generally down - the video diaries would let me escape reality for a moment or two. Every Saturday night I’d sit on my couch, eagerly awaiting your performances on my TV screen - telling my entire household to remain silent while you all sang. Each week we all witnessed you all improve, and reach such high standards: it was impossible not to love you all.
I must admit, when you came third I didn’t cry - but it wasn’t because I was surprised, it was because I knew that with a little support and encouragement - you guys would easily be the biggest boy band within the UK. Now look at you, travelling to both LA and Sweden to record what I can only imagine to be an amazing album that will be completely worth the wait.
I wanted to prove my support for you, despite living in Scotland, so when you done a mini-tour after the X-factor and came here to Edinburgh, me and my friend Taylor bought tickets straight away. We queued ad 1:00pm and got let in the venue at 5pm - standing in rain and snow for 4 hours. Once we were in the area, we got to the front barriers only for Taylor to pass out. I literally had to drag her to the fire exit where we were escorted to the front venue again, and moved up to seating. The queuing definitely hadn’t paid off; and it put my entire night on a downer. I reassured myself that things would only get better; but as the months past and no tweet for any of you had arrived - I reached an all time low. I wanted to be a good fan, I didn’t want to be considered a “let down” - so as I continued to tweet you guys, whether you read them or not, I reassured myself my “time would come”. I made a sign for the X-factor Tour and sat pretty close to the front. I was more focused on you all noticing my banner than actually listening to your performance, but none of you seemed to see it - or me. I left the venue feeling genuinely rubbish; but reassured my mother that it had been the best night of my life.
I had to understand that I’m not the only fan out there, and that I had to accept the fact that maybe I’m just not destined to meet you all, ever. I know this was extremely pessimistic of me; but when you live in Scotland and you guys never come here - it’s easy to put yourself down as a fan. But still, I continued on to stand by you all; even if my friends thought I was weird for becoming so fascinated with 5 boys.
With my exams coming up and pressure building, I found it pretty hard to face each day as I seemed to be drifting further and further apart from my friends. Coming home from school, I tweeted Harry - getting a reply when I least expected it. I literally burst into tears with sheer joy, never expecting that moment to arrive as I had waited 8 months for it to happen. Just as I thought my moment had happened, two days later you tweeted me and I literally felt on top of the world. So without realising you guys had literally took so much stress and un-needed hurt from my life by tweeting me, and I am so thankful
So I thank you for everything, the video diaries, the performances, the tweets, the banter, but most of all I must thank you for being you. As much as you guys stopped me from studying or gave me sleepless nights as watched your twit cams: you have made me life so much better - although I may convince myself that meeting the boys that changed my life for the better will never happen; I hope that I do - so that I can thank you to your faces as I think it will have more of a meaning. You are amazing boys, you deserve every success in the world; enjoy travelling and recording, and love every minute - I love you all. :) x
