Wow Juniemoon....loved your piece today! It's like you crawled into my head and wrote my thoughts...much more eloquently than I could have...which is why I am mostly a lurker.
Adam has changed my life in many ways...or maybe i should say Adam has given me back my life.
When I discovered Adam on idol, I was in a very low place, depressed and in a unhappy marriage. I had lost my joy for life and was going through the motions. Then something about Adam and his freedom and individuality just hit me. I was hooked, I had a new passion.
When I heard he was doing a concert in Feb of 2010...I knew I had to go. I didn't care that I didn't have anyone to go with, or that my overprotective, slightly controlling husband would say absolutely not, I was going. I told my husband the night before i left, got on the plane and felt free...fiannly! The experience at Fantasy Springs was amazing...not only was the concert awesome...the people I met were so inspiring...so many amazing women, talented, smart, and normal (relatively
)...and they all shared my passion for Adam.
That weekend changed me in so many ways. I got back from Indio and decided to take
charge of my life once and for all. I told my husband to shape up or get out (he's shaped up quite nicely!!), I embarked on a fitness program...and in the process lost 70 pounds and completed a half marathon and triathlon (spent many many hours running to Adam songs!!) I rediscovered myself! As I was waiting for the start of the triathlon, they were playing music in the transition area...mostly 80's rock...Journey, ACDC...and then right before my wave was supposed to start, i heard the familiar beginning of a song...they played WWFM...I started to cry...it was perfect.
Adam's outlook really inspired me to LIVE!! To enjoy life. I've put myself out there. I
rediscovered my love of music...especially live music. In the past two years I've gone to more concerts than in the past 30. Some good, some not so much...GNT of course is up at
the top of that list. I've decided it's OK to be a little weird...and try things I've never done before.
