Maria had always lived among melodies and lyrics that spoke directly to her heart. Music was her constant companion, an escape from the demands of her life as a university student in Los Angeles. Among the many artists populating her playlist, Stray Kids held a special place. There was something in the energy and sincerity of their music that touched something deep within her, especially the parts sung by Yang Jeongin, whose voice seemed to soothe her soul as effectively as it stirred her spirit.
The news that Stray Kids would be performing a show in Los Angeles sent waves of excitement through her daily routine. Securing tickets was no easy task, given the group's overwhelming popularity, but luck was on her side. When she confirmed the purchase, she felt a mix of disbelief and joy; she would finally see Jeongin and the other members live.
In the days leading up to the show, Maria found herself immersed in an emotional countdown. She planned every detail, from the outfit she would wear-a carefully chosen combination that balanced style and comfort, adorned with Stray Kids symbols-to the time she would arrive at the venue, wanting to absorb every moment of this unique experience.
The day finally arrived, a Saturday that promised to be unforgettable. Maria arrived early, blending into the crowd of fans sharing a palpable sense of anticipation. While waiting, she exchanged stories and dreams with other Stays (as Stray Kids fans are known), feeling part of a community united by love for music that transcended language and cultural barriers.
The arena was alive with twinkling lights and screens that promised to bring the idols closer to each spectator, no matter how far away they were. Maria secured a privileged spot close to the stage, thanks to her voice (or "her shout"), energy, and determination. From there, she watched the final preparations, her heart beating in anticipation of the first chord that would break the silence.
When the lights dimmed and the first chords vibrated through the space, a wave of emotion swept through the arena. Maria found herself enveloped by an unparalleled energy, each song a wave that carried the crowd into a frenzy of dance, singing, and celebration. Jeongin, with his magnetic presence, captured everyone's attention each time he approached the microphone, his voice as powerful live as Maria had imagined.
But nothing prepared her for the moment when her eyes met his during a performance. It was a quick glance, almost lost among the thousands of fans, but for Maria, it was a bond established, a silent connection that whispered promises of a destined encounter. She knew she was just one among many, but at that moment, she allowed herself to dream of the possibility of something more, a secret desire tucked away in her heart.
As the show continued, each song, each movement on stage, wove a tapestry of memories that Maria knew she would keep forever. She was not just witnessing a performance; she was part of a moment of pure magic, a dream turned into reality under the stars of Los Angeles. And when the raffle was announced, an opportunity to go on stage and meet Stray Kids, Maria's heart stopped. Perhaps, just perhaps, fate had more in store for her than just watching the show. With her heart full of hope and her eyes shining with the promise of adventure, she allowed herself to dream of an encounter that could change her life.
As she awaited the announcement of the winning number, Maria held her ticket as if it were a talisman, whispering a wish to the universe. No matter what happened next, this night had already been etched into her soul as a symphony of joy and wonders. But deep down, she longed for more-a chance to find the world beyond the music, an encounter with destiny that was just a raffle away.
FOR NOW, THAT'S ALL...
Exploring new creative territories is always a brave step, and I am truly touched to have the opportunity to share a bit of my journey with you. Writing has been a hobby for me, a way to spread my imagination's wings and, perhaps, touch someone's heart along the way. I still consider myself a learner in this vast universe of writing, aware that I have much to discover and improve.
I must confess, I feel a mix of excitement and nervousness at the thought of continuing. The truth is, I am only motivated to move forward if, in some way, this resonates with you. Your opinion is incredibly valuable to me, whether it be as a sign of encouragement or constructive guidance for my growth.
Therefore, I humbly ask you to share your impressions. If you think there's something special in what I write, and you want to read more, I would be honored to continue this journey. But, if you feel it's not the time, I will understand with gratitude and take it as an important lesson in my path of learning.
Thank you so much for giving me the chance to share a piece of my world with you. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that it has brought some value, however small, to your life. I am open to hearing what you have to say, with all humility and an open mind to learn from every word.
Should I continue writing?
