What I now see as the best day of my life could've easily been one of the most disappointing days of my life, and that was the day I got to see Tenth Avenue North, my favorite band, live in concert.
Long story short, I was incredibly lucky and managed to be dead-center in the front row at the concert with my closest friends. I sang along to every single melody, bridge, and all the pick-ups in between. I felt the music, I teared a little, I laughed a lot, I was moved. They had two encores.
A second long story short, because their Merch team saw me fangirl like no other earlier that afternoon as they were setting up the booth, they managed to convince security to let my friends and me cut in the autograph line or else we wouldn't of had the opportunity. When I got to Mike, the lead singer, he said "Hi, Esther!" which was amazing because I forgot I had a name-tag for a second so I freaked on how he knew my name. We had a silly and unforgettable exchange in which he looked up and said, "Hey! I saw you!" To which I dorkily replied, "Oh cool! I saw you too!" I quickly shared how much their music meant a lot and he wrote a cool message on my shirt he signed. After that, I still had the luck to thank the rest of the amazing band members of the band for their incredible work, which are Jeff, Jason, Ruben, and Brendon down the picture.
Yeah, there was a calmness and a thrill all at the same time that night. It was like meditating on a rollercoaster. The live music changed me and I had the opportunity to talk to one of the most inspiring men in my young adult life. I hope I never forget that night.
See you next Saturday,
