Being a directioner was so much more than being a fan. Every thought and action revolved around One Direction and the ultimate goal was to be recognizes. It wasn't about thinking they were cute and liking their music, no, being a directioner was a way of life.

The feeling of hearing they were taking a hiatus

The Jonas Brothers are back, when is One Direction coming back?

Constantly talking about One Direction

They were the most amazing band ever and you just had to explain why to every person you encountered.

Waking up and realizing you slept through a follow spree

Nothing was more depressing than missing an opportunity to be noticed.

Getting together with another hard-core Directioner

Finally being around someone who understood your... dedication (a.k.a. unhealthy obsession) was refreshing to say the least.

Fangirling

That's it. Send tweet. Just flailing and dancing and screaming in order to express your love.

Reading fanfics which robbed you of your innocence

Honestly, fanfic is worse than 50 Shades of Gray and we had no business reading that in middle school. We have no business reading that now either honestly.

Watching "One Direction Funny Moments" videos for hours

Each video was the same clips rearranged a million times over, but each one had you ready to pee your pants.

Commenting "MY OVARIES" on every picture of them

What were we even trying to express when we said this? Most of us hadn't even taken health class yet. Did we know what we were saying?

Whenever someone had the AUDACITY to insult your boys

It wasn't just rude, but it was also highly offensive

Being told you're too young to be thinking about boys this much

Liam is my mom trying to close the curtain over One Direction. I guess she just wanted me to focus on something like school or spending time with family?

Jamming to any and every song they put out 

Let's be honest, every single song they released was a bop, but they honestly could have recorded themselves burping the ABCs and I would have spent all of my babysitting money on it.

Hopefully this brought back as many deeply suppressed memories for you as it did for me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
