I remember the feeling I had when I saw Coldplay perform "Fix You" live in concert, and I remember the happiness I felt when I saw Taylor Swift on her "1989" tour. That emotion or feeling is hard to describe, but it's one of the best moments I've had so far in my life. Those moments and emotions are the reason why I attend concerts. It's the reason why I spend money on seats to watch my favorite band or singer perform less than 50 feet away from me. It has become a lifestyle for me to go to concerts because it creates genuine happiness.

I've attended at least 15 concerts in the last four years. And I can tell you that I consider each and every one of those concerts a night well spent. When you attend a concert, especially if it's one of your favorite performers, you get this bubble of excitement when they're about to go up on stage. Or when you go with a group of your best buds and fan-girl about your favorite band and randomly scream out, "I'm breathing their air!" or " I'm about to die!" (of excitement, of course). Those are moments and memories that I cherish the most, and I wouldn't have any of them if it weren't for attending these concerts.

However, my absolute favorite moment of every concert I've attended is when the whole crowd sings along. The entire crowd is singing in unison to the same song and lighting up the arena with lights from their phones; I genuinely love that feeling. It reminds me of the time when I went to Ed Sheeran's concert and he was performing "Thinking Out Loud," and everyone was mesmerized by him. I remember I took a moment to stare at the crowd and all I saw were faces full of joy. A sea of people in a peaceful state of mind and not wanting to let go of the night.

That's the reason why it's my favorite moment because the crowd forgets any negative thing that is happening in their lives for a moment. We don't set any standards or become judgmental. We don't think for a second about the person next to us and their race, economic status, etc. The crowd bonds with your happiness and excitement because you are all enjoying the same performer, who you probably jam to every day and have all the albums of. It creates this magical atmosphere that shifts to a peaceful mood that no one can take away.
