February was a pretty good month for me, and I am happy about that.

Concerts I Would Love To Go To

I recently got the inspiration for this post from an Instagram post someone did, and where they listed the concerts they would like to go to.

It made me want to make my own list.

I have never been to a major concert before, and really want to go to one.

So, without further ado, here are the concerts I would love to go to:
  • Andrea Bocelli
  • Josh Groban
  • Celtic Woman
  • Francesca Battistelli
  • Jonathan Antoine
  • Imagine Dragons
  • Pentatonix
  • Andre Rieu
  • Garth Brooks (if he still does concerts)
  • Adele
What concerts have you been to? If you haven't been to one, which ones do you want to go to?

Moments That Have Shaped Me

There have definitely been moments in my life, that have changed and shaped me. They have made me who I am today, and to be honest, I am thankful for these moments.
  • My maternal grandpa's death in April 1999. That was the first death I remember, and it scared me. I had nightmares for a month, and sometimes couldn't even sleep in my own room.
  • My mom's death in November 2010, and that was the hardest thing I have gone through.
  • My high school graduation. It made me realize that I am growing up, becoming an adult, and that I will be doing more things for myself.
  • My current job at the library. It means that I can be independent, that I don't have to rely on others for everything, that I am able to do things for myself.
  • Starting/going to college. It means that I get to go after something that I want, instead of something that others think I need or want (yes, this is something that I want).
