Storytime!

Its story-time!

Today I had the fabulous light-bulb moment where I decided that today I would start a little challenge for myself. I have to write, one short story about an item in my room. An item that has a story behind it to tell.

Feel free to send me your own stories as well! Lets do this together! The Story-time Challenge I shall dub it!

I am also choosing to pick items that have specific meaning behind them. Items that give me that nostalgic feeling I enjoy so much, find one thing and expand on it!

Today’s Item:

An unopened 16OZ Vans Warped Tour Monster Water can.

I am exploring today the story of this unopened Vans Warped Tour ’07 Lucky 13 Tour Water Can. This can signifies such a huge part of my teenage and adult life. This can represents the vast amount of concerts I attended beginning at the age of 13. As I look at this can in pristine condition, I recall the memories of numerous Paramore concerts, the hot, sunny, and sweaty days spent listening to bands from all around the world in Houston, Texas’s notorious steamy hot weather. I recall the wet haired punk bands, the first time I heard screaming, and growling in music. The first place that I could completely break down the outside world and be myself. Engulfed in the music, the salty glitter of sweat dripping down everyone’s bodies. I remember the culture of it, there were so many different people, but they were all brought together by this undying passion for music.

It was a big world for me, and it guided me through my life, and still does to this day.I envied the musicians on stage, so confident and in control of their lives. They released something on those stages, and it was infectious to all of us, in search of life and love. I became drawn into it, more and more as my life outside of the shows would broaden, so would my relationship with the stage and music following.

This can tells so much about who I was, and who I want to continue to be. It also represents my the luck of the Irish for me, and how when I follow the lucky 7, (my lucky number), my life is on its right path. As I type this I connect with myself on a level so deep, but gives me such self assurance, I would definitely recommend some of you try this and see what happens!

It’s not much but I hope you enjoy! If you like this, feel free to send feedback, or even if you don’t like it, send me your thoughts!
