The night

It was a Wednesday night. I was at Juanita's waiting for Halestorm to perform. By the end of the night, I would never view life the same.
I walked into Juanita's where the music was loud and the people were drunk.
(In case you were wondering, no I am not about to say I was raped...Just so you know.)
One of the first bands I saw was terrible. They played the same riffs for every song and I think I knew why...The lead singer of the band was wearing a red t-shirt that said:
"Enjoy weed".
The next band was pretty good. And near the end of their performance, their female backup singer talked. She said these inspiring words:"I like to dance sometimes. I like to shake my ass sometimes. I like to smoke grass sometimes." So by then, I was thinking "Is this Weed Promotion Day?"
Then Halestorm arrived. Lzzy Hale sung in a dimly lit room then retreated back into the darkness. Seconds later, there was heavy riffage and headbanging. All I could think was that my love for Halestorm and music skyrocketed. I was transported to a magical place where nothing could harm me. I saw that I wanted to be that rockstar onstage. I wanted to be a musician. And by the time I got home, I couldn't sleep. I was too deep in excitement and awe. Me and my body didn't want the night or the aura of it to end. I felt like I was in a completely different world.
And ever since that Wednesday night, music has flowed through my veins and has been the nutrition of my soul. I will never be the same and I'm okay with that.
