~This isn’t goodbye, even as I watch you leave, I swear I won’t cry~

The end of Westlife, the end of an era. The end of many people’s childhoods. I grew up listening to Westlife. I had their first album on casette. The first CD I ever owned was a Westlife CD. It’s hard to believe they’ve finally split up, and ended their joint careers. People think Westlife are silly, or “gay”, but if you’ve ever seen them in concert, you know they’re amazing. I’ve seen them three times live, each time better than the next. People said the tickets were expensive, I thought they were fairly cheap considering it was their last ever two concerts. And it was amazing.

Jedward and The Wanted were support groups. Jedward are something to see live, wow their energy! The Wanted were good too, I suppose, but I’m not a big fan of them. I don’t hate them either.

Then Westlife came on and the crowd went wild. The atmosphere was amazing. It was just incredible. I can’t put it into words.

Nightmares.

What actually defines a nightmare?

night·mare

[nahyt-maire] noun

– a terrifying dream in which the dreamer experiences feelings of helplessness, extreme anxiety, sorrow, etc.

Many people think that nightmares are generally something scary like ghosts, zombies, being chased by dinosaurs, stuff like that. When in fact it could be something very simple. And the simple ones, the ones that could actually really happen scare me the most. You don’t always realise how terrifying they are until you wake up in tears. The ones that stay with you for days or even weeks afterwards. The ones that scare you so badly, you’re sick to the pit of your stomach. That you’ll occasionally forget but then you’ll randomly remember and almost break down on the spot. You’ll get over ghosts, zombies or dinosaurs because you know that in reality those will never happen, but something as real as losing a child at four months pregnant will haunt you. Even when you tell yourself over and over it was only a dream, it didn’t actually happen. That’s not the scary part, the scary part is that it could happen in the future.
