To you, Mendes Army, from an old Directioner.
Iâm not really in your fandom, so you clearly donât know me. Donât get me wrong, I love Shawn Mendesâs music and he seems to be a great guy, I even went to a show once, but I donât follow his life and my blog isnât about him at all.
However, I saw something on Instagram and then here. You, freaking out about him and that girl model, Hailey Baldwin I think?
So little story, I was a Directioner when I was a teenager. I remember the fandom, freaking out every time one of the guys got a new girlfriend. I saw so many people hating on these poor girls. It was crazy, really. But I did nothing to stop it. In fact, I wouldnât talk on social media, but I was so freaking mad when Taylor Swift started dating Harry Styles, lol. God, Iâm almost ashamed now.
So yeah, I understand how you feel. And I know that a small part of you, even if you would never admit that to anyone in this world, do believe that you have your chance with him. You imagine a life with him. He is the perfect boyfriend in your mind. And thatâs why youâre so angry. Because youâre jealous, even if you donât want to admit it.
Youâre jealous, so you hate her. She rubs you the wrong way. You think she will be bad news. You think she might even change your fav. You donât support the relationship. Maybe itâs even just some publicity stunt, right?
And I understand, I really do. Iâve been a teenager too, once. (god, I sound like Iâm such an old lady. Letâs make one thing clear, Iâm 19. Oh yeah, I just fucked up the whole thing now didnât I?)
But now is the moment youâre going to hate me.
Thereâs, what, maybe a 0.000001% chance that you will be the one to end up with Shawn Mendes. So letâs be honest.
Youâll never be in a relationship with Shawn Mendes.
Not because youâre not pretty enough, or smart enough, or funny enough, or well, you get the point. You are all of that. You are enough. But heâs a celebrity. He will end up meeting so many people, so many other celebrities.
He will be in a relationship. Fall in love. Breakup. Do it all over again.
And it wonât be with you.
He loves his fan. Iâm sure he does. But he doesnât know you personally. And he is not in love with you.
Iâm sorry, I really am. But you are wasting your time, hating on a girl you donât know. You are hurting yourself and in the process, maybe hurting Shawn himself and his friend/girlfriend/fuckfriend, whatever she is.
Just be happy for him. Love his music. His personality. Supports him. But donât get that into his personal life. It is none of your business, and youâll be far happier the day that youâll stop obsessing about what he is doing.
I know itâs hard, I know you donât want to hear this and Iâm ready to receive hate (well, I would rather not). But guys, calm down.
