Lights Scrapbook

It’s been a year to the day since I met Lights.

Who would’ve thought I’d ever get the chance to meet her anyway? I’m so thankful that I even got the chance to. Lights has changed my life in so many ways and has motivated me to do the things I want to do, not what society has told me to do. I’ve been a fan for eight years now, and waited seven to go to a show and actually meet her. I’ve supported her even when she didn’t have an album out and was just releasing music on MySpace.

She’s helped me through my depression, anxiety and rough times I’ve had in my life. It seemed that she was the only one who really got it most of the time, without even being there to listen to everything that was going on.

She made me realize that I can chase after my dreams, and be happy with who I am and my decisions. The moment I walked up to her I almost started crying because I couldn’t believe that the person who was always in my headphones was right in front of me. The freaky part is that we’re basically the same size haha! Boots and all!

Lights is and always will be my hero. When the world looks down on me, she makes me realize I need to keep my face up and the sun will always rise again. I’ve never met anyone in my life who took the time to meet all of her fans, and even REMEMBER all of them without even guessing or anything. She really cares about all of us, and she transformed my life and who I am today without even knowing it. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next, I just know that the next time she comes out on tour I’m getting a legit picture! Selfies and all! 😂

Finally covered one of my all-time favorite Lights songs!

Being a life-long lover of music, it’s been funny to discover more and more with time how one song can have a completely different meaning to both writer and listener.  I always interpreted this song as describing a relationship with the kind of security that makes the “quiet” feel less scary; where it is strong in a way that assures you there’s no need to constantly fill up the silence with talk and excitement, because the enjoyment of each others presence is enough.
