Concerts are my favorite place to be. To me, there is no greater feeling than being in a room with thousands of other people who all mutually agree that the performer is great. There’s a sense of peace in that, and I feel like I have a bond with all of those people despite the fact that I haven’t met any of them before.

Concerts are fun whether you are in the front row or all the way in the nosebleeds.

Just the fact that you get to breathe the same air as your favorite performer should be exciting enough to you. It shouldn’t matter where you’re sitting. Besides, if you’re really there for the music, you won’t care where your seats are because it sounds the same on the floor as it does in the nosebleed section.

Concerts are a place where you can let go and have fun. You can dance like nobody is watching and escape from your reality for a little while.

I love concerts because I love having something to look forward to. I try to go to a few concerts a year, and I try to space them out, if possible, so that every few months I have a new concert to look forward to. I countdown the days and it makes life a little bit more exciting. Some people might find it silly to get that into concerts, but I think it’s fun and it’s a little thing that can make life more exciting.

There are very few places that I feel genuinely worry-free, but concerts are one of those places. I allow myself to get so invested in the music and the performance that I don’t think about the paper that I have to write that week or the drama going on at work. I just live in the moment.

I’ve met so many great people at concerts. Of course, you run into some awfully rude people there too, but I’m trying to focus on the positives right now. I always find one or two people in my section that I bond with and become friends with. They become a part of my memories from that specific concert and I love how they will always be included in my stories when I talk about that concert.

Concerts are amazing because you feel at home. You feel comfortable and like you belong to a certain group of people. You are able to escape from your reality for a little while and just get lost in the music. You forget about your personal struggles and are focused on the person or people on that stage.

I especially love seeing performers in huge stadiums because it’s so fascinating to me that one person can fill up 50,000 plus seats with adoring fans. The fact that all of those people will buy a ticket with their hard earned money to see someone is so inspirational to me because it gives me the idea that anything is possible with hard work and dedication. I always leave concerts feeling a little bit more inspired.
