10 Years of One Direction, You & Me Got a Whole lot of History

Ten years of One Direction, My God! time flies so quickly especially when you're talking about good things. 20 years earlier no one would have thought that because of X-Factor the world will get it's the biggest Boy-Band after The Beatles. I have never heard any songs of the Beatles, thus unaware of the craziness around that band. For me, the definition of boy-band fandom is One Direction. These 5 boys are the cutest, most handsome, charming, funniest, and above all the source of happiness for millions of people around the world. 

In 2013, when I first got introduced by 1D, their existence had already been for 3 years, and I was like where I have been this whole time and why haven't I heard of them before. I don't think there are any adequate words to describe the love I have for these 5 boys. I have so many memories with them. There were times when I was feeling low and by just listening to there music or watching the videos I have felt better. They have put a smile on my face with their silly jokes, pranks, comments. I have never been to there concert because I live in Pakistan and they have never come here to do live shows. Or I didn't and I still don't have enough money to go abroad and watch them live plus they are not any more together now. However, I have watched there concerts on YouTube, performances on TV shows. One of my best 2 hours was when I watched their movie "This is US". I can't describe how touching that was not just from my perspective but I felt how they have grown, how much all this must mean to them. The fame, the satisfaction of persuading the career they want, the unlimited love they are getting from people is intense. 

It was the first time, I completely was seeing all their journey through there eyes, how this all must be a dream come true for them also, there amazed expressions when the crowd of thousands of people singing their songs out loud in unison, when in San Siro Stadium, Milan the stadium was jam-packed and the whole crowd was holding the Britain flags, cardboards of 1D written on them. The feeling of immense gratitude was overwhelming for me, I can't begin to imagine how much that all meant for them. The smile on Niall's face, the gratitude on Liam's smile, the expressions on Harry, Louis and Zayn's face was indescribable. I, as there fan was feeling proud of them. And in some corner of my heartfelt incredibly sad of not personally experiencing that magical moment for the hundredth time. Maybe I am making this all too emotional and heartwarming but the real Directioners would understand the truthiness of these emotions. Here I'm remembering the lyrics of One Direction's song "Better than Words" with a bit of alteration according to this situation.

I don't know how else to sum it up

'Cause words ain't good enough, ow

I can't explain my love, no 

It's better than words

However, recently I was watching the San Siro concert on YouTube, it was the first time I noticed Zayn not enjoying himself. He seemed not in the moment as the other 4 were, Liam, Niall, Louis and Harry were jumping around, interacting with the crowd and dancing but Zayn was just singing. I don't know if it was there or I was being too-investigative and making it up in my head. When the news got out of Zayn leaving the band, it was really sad and shocking for everyone. Maybe it was for the best, and plus I love Zayn's Music especially "PillowTalk" and "I Don't Wana Live Forever" with Taylor Swift. After a year the band went on hiatus, leaving the fans empty-handed. I was angry at first but with time realize it must be hard for them to live out of suitcase for 5 years, they need a break too. Now, I just hope that they will get back together one day, I don't know if that'll be as crazy as it was but it will be worth trying. 

Till Then, This is not the end 💗
