One Direction gigs are like nothing else on this earth because nothing else is like them: Their music comes from a place of total girl-worship, and the ladies who look to them for solace believe/inspire every word. It’s a gorgeous circle of giving and taking and loving. Their live shows only seem to exacerbate this…for many, it’s seeing your very favorite band for the very first time, for others, it’s remembrance of how important joy is. Being a young woman is one of the hardest things anyone can do and 1D, for twenty songs in two hours, remind you it’s also the best.
