I've never been so happy in my entire life.
So lastnight was the Of Mice & Men concert. Austin, the lead singer, is one of my biggest heros and inspirations ever. Austin's mom died, and it's obviously effected him so much, he even has a song about it. 3 months ago, my mom passed away. I was seriously about to give up, and I couldn't take life anymore. But I thought of Austin, everyday, and it helped. I listened to his music everyday, and it helped. I look up to him so so so so much. So lastnight, when the concert ended. Austin was outside his bus meeting people. The crowd of people was HUGE. Austin took the time to meet every single person. When I knew I was gonna meet him, I got huge butterflies and I couldn't stop smiling. It was finally my turn and when I got up to him I just cried. I couldn't even talk. He grabbed me and pulled me in for a hug and he was like "Are you okay?" And I said no. I pulled out of the hug and said "can I tell you something?" He smiled and said sure. I leaned in and said "My mom passed away 3 months ago, and I want you to know that you helped me through all of it. You saved me." I wanted to say more but I choked up and cried. He pulled away and his face got serious, and his eyes got watery. He was about to cry. He pulled me in for another hug, rubbed my back and whispered in my ear "Sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know what it's like. Even though I won't be directly near you, I'm here for you, Always. Listen to me when I tell you to never give up, and keep your head up. When you feel like nobody cares, I love you. I love you so much." And he hugged me tighter. I completely lost it and started bawling my eyes out. Everyone around us just stared and smiled. We finally took pictures and he asked if I was okay again, and I said "now I am" and he smiled and said "Don't give up. Ever." I left that place the happist girl in the world. I feel so lucky, and that moment changed me. It was easily the most amazing expierience I've ever had..
