All of my friends and family know how absolutely obsessed I am with Luke Bryan. And, if you've read any of my articles prior to this one, then you know that, too. As of now, I have seen him in concert 9 times, soon to be a 10th and I don't see an end in sight. Every time I tell someone that I've seen Luke Bryan live 10 times, I always get asked the same questions - "why? Isn't it like the same show every time? Don't you get tired of it?"
Honestly, no. It doesn't matter to me if the setlist is exactly the same. It doesn't matter to me if all the lights, props, and fireworks are the same. It never gets old to me. And the reason for that is very simple: it makes me happy.
I know people think I'm crazy. I know people roll my eyes whenever I tweet something or post something about Luke Bryan. Unlike everything else in my life, I'm not insecure about it. I personally believe that no one should ever feel insecure about something that makes them happy.
Life isn't always rainbows and butterflies. It can be so damn hard sometimes. Bills pile up quickly. Work and school take up a lot of our time. Things constantly go wrong, whether it's our cars breaking down or a job opportunity slips through our fingers.
When I'm at a Luke Bryan concert, I am the happiest version of myself. I don't worry about anything. I'm not anxious. I'm just me. There is something so therapeutic about hearing your favorite music live- being able to dance to the music and scream the lyrics at the top of your lungs. That feeling you get when the lights go out and the crowd erupts, there is no better sound. The entire environment is just so freeing.
It's not a feeling that I will ever give up because it's what makes me happy. In my opinion, the only goal people should truly have in life is to be happy and to succeed in the things that make them happy, with no inhibitions.
My point is to do what makes you happy. If that means seeing an artist in concert multiple times, then do it. If that means dying your hair a bunch of random colors, then be my guest. You only have one life to live and it's too short of a life to be worried about pleasing everyone. At the end of the day, the only person you have to make happy is yourself.
