Why I'm Proud To Be A Belieber

“Is it too late now to say sorry?”

I’m sure all of you know of Justin Bieber. He is a singer/songwriter from Canada who was discovered on YouTube. The first song that he released through iTunes was called "One Time." The first time I heard this song, I thought a girl sang it. Sorry, Justin. I was not a 2010 Belieber. I did not think Justin Bieber was cool. Unlike many others, I cannot say that I have been his supporter throughout his entire singing career.

Justin Bieber got in a lot of trouble through December 2013 to August 2014. Between hitting people, egging houses and illegal street racing, these are just some of the reasons Justin Bieber was in hot water with law enforcement. Not cool, Justin.

We were all getting tired of seeing Justin getting in trouble. He was on the news every week, it seemed. He went from a cute boy with a nice voice to a conceited teenager who didn’t know how to handle fame. Even when all of this stuff was on the news, I didn’t really pay much attention. I didn’t care.

May 2015 is when Justin Bieber really caught my attention. First of all, at this point, he had passed that awkward stage of puberty where he still sounded like a kid but his pants sagged below his butt and he wore too much jewelry. This is when he started to own up to the stuff he did. Who knows why he did it, but he turned around his attitude and showed his fans that he was sorry for his behavior. He did this in a couple different ways.

We were all excited for Justin Bieber’s roast, right? I know I was. Even though he was being made fun of for all of the stupid stuff he did, I really appreciated the way he put himself out there. Yeah, he acted stupid and he finally realized it. So now, he was ready to move past it. And the best way to do that is to laugh about it so that we can get over it. It worked pretty well.

Justin Bieber’s roast was pretty funny. Most people found some kind of comic relief from it, even if they weren’t fans. It featured many other celebrities including Martha Stewart, Snoop Dog, Shaquille O’Neal, Will Ferrell, etc. This is when I noticed Justin Bieber. Because it doesn’t take much to act like a cool, conceited teenage celebrity, but it takes a lot to recognize your mistakes and put yourself in a vulnerable position the way that he did.

Shortly after this, Justin released the song “Sorry.” It hit #1 in 13 different countries. This song is pretty self explanatory if you haven’t heard it. But it serves as an apology. Take it as you wish, but I know that myself and many other Bieber fans heard it as an apology to his fans for all of his bad behavior. It includes the lyrics, “Is it too late now to say sorry?” and “Yeah I know that I let you down, is it too late to say I’m sorry now?”

Well, I accepted Justin Bieber’s apology. It may be partially because he is good looking and a great singer, but the main reason that I have fully embraced his comeback is because I am a firm believer in second chances. All of us make mistakes. And as cliché as it sounds, not all of us are in the spotlight, but his mistakes were broadcasted for all to see. That does not mean it’s acceptable, but it puts things in a little more perspective.

I don’t stand behind everything Justin Bieber says or does. I am definitely a “post-arrest Bieber fan,” but it is not just because of who Justin Bieber is; it is because I know what it’s like to have to reinvent yourself. I can only imagine how hard it is with millions of critics watching your every move. I fully embraced Justin Bieber’s comeback because he is working to better himself. We can’t ask everyone to be perfect, but I support him in his career. I admire the efforts he has made to apologize to his fans and to set a new example that better represents who he really wants to be.

I am a Belieber because I believe in second chances. I forgave him. Will you?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
