Ever since I was very young I've had a strong connection to music. My parents introduced me to many punk and alternative bands from a young age. I've always been a social outcast and generally a very secluded individual and this music really influenced my way of thinking. It wasn't until I discovered my favorite band that music really influenced me though. Since I've always been introverted I've often set aside societal norms and just been myself, but this didn't effect me drastically until middle school. I was very depressed in middle school and went through some very dark times until I gained a reason to have hope. This may sound cliche, but that reason was music. In particular, a band called My Chemical Romance.

Wait. It's really over? I was actually quite disoriented and my feet and legs hurt from jumping. When we exited the venue I stopped in my tracks though. There was a line going up to his tour bus.

I was shocked. He was so soft spoken for someone who rocks out so hard on stage!
"Hi I'm Casper" I said, my hands shaking.
"Nice to meet you" he said and shook my hand firmly. I suddenly became relaxed because I realized something. This is a no pressure situation. This guy's calm and collected, so I should be too.
"So I just want to tell you that I really love your music. Thank your for everything you do. Your music's one of the reasons I wake up every morning." I managed to say without crying.
"Thank you so much" he told me, his smile beaming.
Then I walked over to my mom and I cried as we got to the car.
During the car ride home, my mom and I spent the whole time talking about the show and meeting him. She was almost as starstruck as I was. I was just in awe the entire time. I couldn't believe what had happened! I had finally met one of my idols, one of the people who's the reason that I love music the way I do. So to anyone reading this, don't be afraid to meet people who inspire you and don't be upset if it doesn't happen right away. It'll
