Sometimes I wish I could turn back time.....

I wrote this about 7 months ago and posted it on tumblr. I was just going through my tumblr that I hardly ever post on anymore and came across this and felt like sharing it here. LOL

Sometimes I find myself listening to the song “Quit playing games(with my heart)” by the Backstreet Boys and I end up thinking back to the summer of ‘97 when I first became a fan. It’s kind of crazy to think about because from then up until now about 15 years have passed and in those 15 years People, friends, fads, music, TV shows, boyfriends, ect. have come and gone but one thing has remained consistent in my life and that is the Backstreet Boys. If I had a nickel for every time someone gave me a comment like “those boys aren’t talented” or “they are gay” or “no one likes them anymore” or countless other comments like those to try and “put down” the boys I am pretty sure I could be a millionaire right now.(true story) What they really don’t know is they are just wasting their time feeding me all that nonsense because I didn’t become a fan of the boys because it was “cool” or because everyone else was doing it I became a fan because I heard a song(QPG) on the radio and was blown away by their voices, one voice(Brian) in particular stuck out more than the rest but I still liked how they all sounded. When those 5 boys sing together there is just something magical about it, as cheesy as that sounds it’s true and from the moment I first heard them up until now I have always loved their music and will continue to do so until they stop or put out some music that I think is complete crap.(lol) In addition to those boys making beautiful music that I have loved for the past 15 years(yes I know they’ve been together almost 19 years but I’m just counting how long I’ve known their music.) I have also been blessed to have been able to do some of the most incredible things that I never even imagined were possible. As a little 12 year old I did what most fans did…daydreamed about meeting them and marrying them and all that other fun stuff at the time of course I never believed any of it would happen. Well boy was I wrong. I’ve not only met them but I’ve been on cruises with them, played basketball and went bowling and countless other things. Its pretty mind blowing when I stop and think about it. And if that wasn’t enough I have met some of the most amazing and wonderful people because of them and the best part about it besides them being such wonderful people is that they share a common love for the boys so they “get it.”  My motto when it comes to the Backstreet Boys has always been “Either you get it or you don’t…if you get it that’s awesome, if you don’t I’m sorry.” ;)

Really there wasn’t a real reason I felt like sharing this except that “Quit playing Games(with my heart) came on my iTunes and it just made me reminisce a little bit I guess and I felt like writing down how I felt. Not sure anyone will care to read it BUT it made me feel better. :)
