I love being a fan.

I love having events and interviews to look forward to. I love going out and supporting their every move and project. I love devoting significant amounts of time to someone who’s barely aware of your individual existence and if they are aware, it’s because you tweeted them or sent them a message on Facebook or sent a fan letter or briefly met them if you’re lucky. I love deciding that someone’s worth your endless devotion and meeting other people who share the same unwavering passion as you do. I love connecting with those people and sharing moments completely separate from that person you mutually think the world of. I love every part about being a fan of something because when it comes down to it, it’s more than just being a fan… it’s about learning about yourself and about others and experiencing incredible things that other people write off as “too nerdy” or “too crazy”. And perhaps it is obsessive and insane, but I’ll be damned if I haven’t learned a million valuable things from being a fan.
