What an unbelievable day! A week ago I was getting sad and desperate because the One Direction's UK leg was kicking off and I still hadn't any tickets. But two days before the show I wished to attend, they were releasing more tickets so without thinking of the state of my poor bank account, I clicked on the link to buy some. It was the best idea ever!! Good seat with a very good view for a very good price. I just could not believe it!
SO Saturday finally arrived and I was more than impatient. Not to waste the cost of my train ticket to London, I thought it would be a good idea to visit Greenwich before heading at the O2 Arena. My feet placed on " the Big Smoke" concrete, I took the Tube and DLR to Cutty Sark. After being a bit lost at Canary Wharf to find the DLR station, I finally managed to get in this massive green space. Walking around beautiful white buildings, I found out the Nationale Maritime Museum. Not very keen on boats (but it's free!!), I decided to give it a go in the aim to keep me busy and calm down my impatience (I swear I was buzzing like a child before Christmas!). In my opinion the museum was not really entertaining but in the back of it, it led to the park and the Royal Observatory which I didn't visit because the queue at the entrance was long. So I just stayed a bit to admire the view of London (very worth it!). Then having one more hour to kill I went back down to sit down on the grass and enjoy the rays of sunshine. But I could not wait any longer so I headed to the O2 earlier than expected.
17:00- already out of North Greenwich station waiting for my friend.
(Sorry in advance if I fangirl a bit in the rest of the post)
After collecting our tickets and getting some food, we are now ready to discover our seats and wait for the show to start. Once we were inside I could not believe it was currently happening. We were in the lower tier close to stage and the view was fantastic. I have to admit I am gutted my pictures and videos are bad quality because it does not reflect at all what I could see in front of me (hoping that one day we could take pictures with our eyes... *sigh*). The show was great!! Whether you like them or not you cannot deny that the members of One Direction are great performers. The four of them were so cute, Harry was hilarious, Niall waved back at us (and it will remain on Youtube forever), Louis' family and the sons of David Beckham stood underneath our block.
Even today I do not entirely realise what happened. All I can tell you is I am more than happy I could see them live before their well deserved break. I know it sounds really cheesy and cliché but they really saved my life 4 years ago. I remember during my depression, their music was the only thing that made me "happy" or at least made me stop crying. Everyday I was promising myself not to end my shitty life (I am so ashamed to write that down) to thank them for making me feel better and to prove me you can fulfill your dreams. I sincerely owe my life to these boys because I would probably not be part of this world anymore (oh god I hate talking about it!! Sorry.) if they did not exist (thanks Simon even if I don't approve evrything you do).
