Almost one year ago I was packing my bags with my best friend to head to New York and see the Speak Yourself World Tour. I can’t believe how much things have changed since then. We decided to go last minute (like a month before the concert) and for how late we decided to go I would say we got amazing tickets. Needles to say it was an experience that changed my life. We laughed so much, cried ande grew up in that trip. I swear it must sound really dramatic but it’s 100% the truth.

It all started in 12th grade last morning period…math. My friend and I dislike HEAVILY math, we really don’t care about it and the teacher was an absolute nightmare. So all we did was talk during that class and during that particular day we were talking about how amazing it would be if we went to the BTS tour. We talked about how the timing was perfect because we would have finished school by them, we talked outfits and transportation to the point we were beyond excited. That day after school I jokingly asked my parents for permission and to my surprise they said yes. I ran to call my friend the news and he could not believe it. After a few talks with his and my parents agreed, since we has no interest on going to prom or our senior trip that would be our gift. My mom and sister would accompany us too since we could not go alone and they are both big bts fans. I planned the whole trip which surprises me to this day, I made a lot of great choices on transportation and our AirBnb and some not great ones on how far things were (That’s a story for another time haha)

That time on the trip and the planning was the best time of my life no lies and it made my relationship with my best friend even more close and special. We bought our outfits beforehand and our armybombs too. We bought our clear backpacks for the venue and fantasied about the day. The plane rides wear crazy and the trains were a nightmare but our “home” in New York was heaven and when the actual concert happened it felt unreal. BTS concerts are at another level. I cried just when I saw the stage and the atmosphere was something I have never felt before. I have never felt so genuinely happy, carefree and safe. BTS outdid themselves, they really give their all. They sound even better and out of this world than in the actual cds. The dancing is impeccable and the vcrs are beautiful. They all tried they’re best to interact with the crowd and made sure everyone had a great time. Hoseok really shook me that day, he is so beyond amazing in person so vivid in person. Jungkook cried that day and I cried with him because my heart broke. It was really the best day of my entire life and I hope every army gets the chance to experience it.
