I reassured myself I would keep my cool and part of my sanity. But on the way there and through the opening acts, the build up was too much to contain. And then Maroon 5 was on stage. It happened, the coolness was lost, not sure how much I even had to start with though, and sanity had left. It was official, I had lost my mind. This was on a whole different level though; I've said "I'm losing my mind" [many] times before but this experience ran through that expression pretty dang fast.

When R. City popped on stage, it was hard to stop screaming once you went there. #NeverGoBack. Their energy was so high and addictive, it brought out the craziness in you. Can't lie, during their set, I resembled this spongebob gif way to much. But, I embraced it & it was great.

Next stop was Tove lo. Minus the songs "Talkin' Bodies," or "Stay High" she was pretty chill, mostly because I don't know much of her music. It was a blessing though; I could now regain some composure before losing it all with Maroon 5.

When you find out Maroon 5 will be walking in front of you, less than 3 feet away to get on stage, it feels like you found gold at the end of the rainbow. #SoClose.

When Adam Levine hits the stage and you fall in love with him all over again as you hear his voice, or see him! #LookingGood. #ChildhoodLove

First Maroon 5 song is playing. Mind lost already 2 minutes in and you're loving it. It's within the first song that the realization has hit, you won't be waking up with your voice the following morning. But it's okay because you wouldn't want it any other way.

When the moment is so amazing that, for a second, you question if you are asleep and just dreaming. Then the next morning you see the photos and videos and become so incredibly happy that it wasn't just a dream, it was an amazing night.

"She will be loved." "This Love." "Sunday Morning." #Throwbacks. It was magical, to be thrown back into your childhood with songs you were sort of, um, obsessed with. It's with the throwbacks that you lose your mind like you've never done before.
8.
When Maroon 5 leaves the stage and you start to get watery eyes because you just need more. Need more songs, more Adam Levine.
9.
...Then Maroon 5 comes back on stage and plays another 5 songs. #CantBeTamed
If you have the chance to see a band you loved when you were younger, do it. I did, and the spark I had for them is back. You'll love it. Pinky promise.
