All the Things I Said to Myself While Listening to 'Fine Line' for the First Time
Harry Styles’ album came out at midnight today! (I never use exclamation points; can you sense my excitement?) Honestly, after listening to it for the first time, I can honestly say that there’s nothing in the world that I love more than this album right now.

The Best One Direction Solo Era Playlist Created by Yours Truly
Just as a warning before we get started: It will be a miracle if I don’t list every single solo song from every single member of the band, but I’m going to attempt to practice a little self control and only list the songs that I listen to religiously and/or think are the top of the chain for that particular artist. With all that being said, and now that you are perfectly aware that this could be the most extensive playlist ever created, let’s get to it.

A Comprehensive List of What I'm Expecting from Harry's New Album
A reinvented Styles At 17 years old, Harry was a part of a One Direction made for TV documentary where he sat crying, wishing he could fit in and not be judged. Now, at 25, we are gifted with a rocker who has thrown societal norms aside, and is living life as comfortable as he should’ve since the start. He’s happy and undoubtedly comfortable in his skin like he deserved to have been from the very beginning.

Thanks to You, Louis, I Made It
I’m a 20-year-old, full-time student and elementary school teacher’s aide. I am both driven and hardworking, stubborn and hellbent, but there’s one adjective that I never thought I’d use to describe myself, and that is “struggling.” I’m not particularly a fan of the word. For the majority of my life, at least up until I decided to change it for myself, “struggling” meant that I was failing. It meant that I wasn’t doing what I needed to do to be the best version of myself. It wasn’t until a full breakdown finally drilled something in me that I needed to know all along—a struggle doesn’t mean failure; it’s an opportunity for undeniable growth.

Be Considerate of the 1D Stans in Your Life
Before you even ask, no, 1D stans are not okay right now. We’re melting, actually disintegrating. We’re on the struggle bus right now, that’s for sure, but it’s not for the wrong reasons. We’re drowning in all the new, unbelievable content that our five favorite human beings have been gracious enough to gift us. Between Zayn’s two new songs and once-in-a-lifetime selfie, Louis’s single, promo, and tour dates, Liam’s new songs and promo, Niall’s new song and promo, and Harry’s oddly active Twitter, confusing tweets, new single, and upcoming promo and tour dates, we’re emotionally overwhelmed by literally the idea of them existing right now. We’ll be okay (we think), but right now, a little understanding as to why we’re constantly on edge and stressed would be very much appreciated.

Don't Let Anyone Invalidate You as a Fan
I went on a bit of a Twitter rant today. Not uncommon for me, but particularly strange when it comes to the subject matter. You see, I’ve been a fan of something, albeit that “something” always changes, but I’ve always loved something wholeheartedly. That being said, I know what it means to be a fan, and in my opinion, that word gets thrown around far too often.

One Direction Members as Their Own Songs
I don’t think I’m alone when I say this: when we listen to music, we often make connections to people. A certain song, no matter how subtle the message might be in reality, can make you think of a person; maybe even one you’ve never met. This is part of what makes music so personal. For every single person in the world, one song can take on so many different meanings. Then suddenly, the music that you’ve connected to these people make them feel closer than ever. You don’t have to imagine them; you can feel their presence. That’s the magic, I think.

19 Times Harry and Louis Proved that They Were Literal Soulmates
1. Whatever exactly this was. I don't think any of us have a logical explanation as to what the hell Louis thinks he's doing wrapping his arms around Harry's chest like that. It's just plain rude, it what it is. We have eyes, Louis. We can't unsee this (and we don't want to).

An Honest Review of "Lights Up" from a Woman Still Figuring Herself Out
Today, October 11th, is National Coming Out Day. Up until now, this day held little or no significance at all to me. I've never identified as gay. However, as I've gotten older, my support for the LGBTQ community has grown. I find myself gravitating towards more inclusive lifestyles and adopting a more open way of thinking, and in return, living as well.

Memes 1D Fans Can Painfully Relate To
1. Family is more than just blood. They're great, mom. In fact, they're thriving. They just got out of their 4 o'clock photoshoot, and are now headed to their primetime interview taping. They're out there living their best life. How do I know? I stalk Twitter, that's how.
