The stress is overbearing. What if I don’t get up on time? What if I miss a due date? What if I’m late? I’m sure I am not the only one feeling the pressure looking ahead to this week. After all, this is Harry Styles’s first world tour, one simply cannot miss it! I still can’t believe it’s only been a handful of days since my life got flipped upside down with the announcement of Harry Styles’s upcoming tour, but needless to say, ever since, I’ve been a mess.
I remember the morning the announcement came through like it was yesterday. I had JUST finished picking classes for next semester when my phone buzzed. “Odd,” I thought to myself seeing that it was seven on a Friday morning, “Who could possibly be trying to get ahold of me?” I debated whether or not I was going to look; all I wanted to do was go back to sleep after having just lost out on my first choice classes. In the end, however, the curiosity won and I peeped the screen with one eye open. After reading the first word of the Twitter notification, I began to pant. It was too good to be true. Quickly, I unlocked my phone and hurriedly opened up the Twitter app to find that my eyes had not been playing tricks on me. Right there on Harry Style’s account were the three most beautiful words I had ever seen in my entire life: “SEE.YOU.SOON.” I began to internally scream as I realized what this meant, Harry Styles, my muse, the love of my life, was going on tour. *faints*
Before clicking on the list of tour dates, I prayed to the Lord above, begging him to let me be able to witness my boo thang live on stage one more time. As usual, God did not disappoint. Not only would I be able to attend a concert, but I would be able to do so in his home country! My excitement was through the roof and it took all of my strength to not wake my roommate up with my persistent whimpers.
Obviously, it’s not set in stone yet. I still have to get through ticket sales. You see, Harry has decided to perform in more intimate venues, which it great for those in attendance, but not so great for the millions of girls wanting tickets. For example, the location I am planning on seeing him at only holds 5000 people. While it seems impossible, I am holding out hope. After discovering One Direction, I never missed a tour, so I certainly don’t plan on missing Harry’s first tour as a solo artist. While it will definitely be strange seeing him perform without the other three members right up next to him, I am positive he will do all that he can to still put on a great show. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t resent the hiatus that the boys began back in 2015, but it’s comforting to see all of them enjoy such success in their individual careers. To have the opportunity to see even one of them perform again is something I wasn’t so sure would ever happen. I feel truly blessed to know that, while I will always be a One Direction fan at heart, I can still be a crazy fangirl and fully support the independent future endeavors each member pursues from here on out with as much enjoyment and excitement as the group had brought to my heart.
Looking forward to the tour, Harry! Put on your best for all the past directioners who are about to turn into full throttle Stylists! All the love. xoxo
