the video was [[playing|the beginning]] on the tv, the music blaring, the [[old]] video camera capturing [[every]] movement, every [[spin]] as she [[danced]].

the [[more|the beginning]] obvious way to explain things... [[2004]] [[2012]] [[2016]] [[2018]]

Just another player in your [[game|walk]] for two. Bye.

In [[more|walk]] recent years, she [[started]] to pay more close [[attention]] to something that she never expected.

[[everything|walk]] always relates back to this. She hears it once in converstation, and her eyes [[light up]]. On the radio they were [[everywhere]], playing on all the stations.

She had heard of them before, but there was never enough interest. For years she just listened to them casually, but once the others from the radio went away, she found much more [[interest]] in them.

Suddenly she was [[watching and listening]] to everything that they released.

Concerts were all she dreamed of, all she could think about. Seeing them on stage, doing what they always would talk about in videos as their most favorite thing in the world. She wanted to be a part of it, wanted to experience it herself. Sometimes she would just sit and imagine what it would be like, what songs they would perform, what outfits they would wear, what the stage would look like, the different lights and colors that would fill the [[room|walk]].

It seemed almost like a whole new world of [[music|danced]], a whole new understanding of what it meant to be a fan of an artist.

The intricate details, the [[dancing|danced]], the [[singing]], the music videos, the concepts, everything suddenly seemed new.

As time went on though, they weren't there as much. She [[only|every]] heard of them once in a while. Everyone thought that they were done, but she still [[held on]].

[[Hoping|walk]]. One day...

She was dancing, having the best time that a [[3 year old|2004]] could have listening to an [[iconic]] boy group's song.

An [[old|life time]] home video from 2004 is an easy way to [[understand]].

One concert, one [[album|life time]], //one direction//. That was what really started the [[craziness]].

''//5//'' [[times|life time]] she tried to be more than just a casual listener of them. ''//S//''o she kept on listening to their music. ''//O//''ne day, suddenly she [[realized]] that she really loved their music, and ''//S//''tarted to spend more and more time paying attention to them.

One video that came to [[mind|life time]], then a recommended one on the side. It looked interesting, so she watched it. Not realizing how that one decision would change the rest of her [[life]].

Hours [[dedicated|2012]] to watching videos, hours upon hours listening to their music. And they became a [[safe]] spot for her. Something, someone, that she always felt comfortable with, no matter how much others talked about them.

Eventually they all went their own ways, and there is always talk about them coming [[together|craziness]] again one day. She keeps holding on, even as they continue their individual work. They were too [[important|life time]] to her to ever truly let go... <img src="https://media.vanityfair.com/photos/566e5856c70e5cef14685fc1/master/pass/one-direction-history-x-factor.jpg" width="500" height="400">

Right around the time that she was getting interested in them a lot more than just casually, they had a new album come out. They had [[multiple|2016]] versions, and she felt the need for all of them. Luckily, she had been [[saving]] up since she had gotten her new job, so she thought it would be alright to treat herself to her new favorite groups album x5

In such a short [[period of time|realized]], they became the only thing she could talk about, and even tried to get her best friend interested. (it didn't really work though) But over time, things can change. And eventually she fell back into a more casual listener, with precious [[memories|life time]] of being a fully invested fan. <img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/16/86/0a/16860ae521e915df87c878a206bee8b3.jpg" width="450" height="300">

It was the summer, so there was plenty of time to spare. And there was a wide [[collection|2018]] of new content to catch up on. So with that knowledge, it made her [[excited]]. There were so many new things for her to see, to listen to.

It first started out with just one group that she spent all her free time on. As she kept searching the internet, as she kept on getting more and more suggested videos, she began to [[learn|life]] about even more groups and artists. Eventually she had [[7 groups]] that she could always turn to. That may seem like a lot to many people, but to her, it was the [[perfect amount]]. When one would stop promoting a new album, the next group would fill the emptiness. And she found others who enjoyed the same things, all because of this [[one video]] she just happened to click on.

Seeing them for the first time in concert not even knowing who they were. They were an opening act, but eventually became the main act. In a sense, she was essentially growing with them but in different ways. As they continued to [[grow]] in their work, she continued to grow in life.

[[WE ARE ONE.|excited]] ♬//''E''//l Dorado♬ ♬//''X''//OXO♬ ♬//''O''//asis♬ Songs would be stuck in her head all day long. She would watch the music videos, the performance videos, the concert videos, really anything that she could get her hands on. It was a nice way to pass the time, and it was also a way to forget about the other things going on around her, that she maybe didn't want to think about. Little did she know though, that those simple words suddenly had so much more meaning than she would have ever [[thought|life time]]. <img src="https://blog.inspiremekorea.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/EXO.jpg" width="450" height="400">

''Walk on Memories'' (click-replace: "Walk on Memories")[It seemed new to her. Even though the concept of becoming interested in a new group wasn't necessarily something she hadn't done many times before. Maybe it was because it was a [[different|attention]] language. Maybe it was because it was the dancing. That wasn't really a thing people seemed to do anymore. Maybe the production value of the music videos. She wondered for a while about this. But no matter what it was, eventually she realized what it might have been. Music, artists, excitement, people she had met, something new, something different. She realized that maybe there was [[more|walk]]. More for her still yet to discover.]
