So guys, I remember I promised, I would explain why I am do devoted to Azealia a bit more closely and here it is

 

SOME of the details I had told you guys before but a lot I haven't. 

 

 

Well, I first heard 212 on April 16, 2012, which I only know because of the status I made here freaking out about her. Well at the same time my mother was at an extended stay at a hospital due to her complications of stage four cancer, she’d been there for a few weeks. Four days later, she passed away.

 

Now as you could imagine, I was a mess. I didn’t feel like going on or doing anything. All I wanted was to lay in bed and lament. It was the end of my first semester a college, and I did end up finishing with straight A’s, but I didn’t really want to continue on to my summer classes. With all the funeral and other implications May came and went and by June 1st me and my father had moved in with his daughter. But I did decide to at least try to do summer classes. But it was a struggle to stay motivated.

 

Now the exact time frame is hazy, but someone made a thread here about the Liquorice video being posted and I watched it, and loved it. And downloaded The 1991 EP. The first time I listened to the whole thing, was on the walk to school, and it gave so much energy, so much inertia, something which I haven’t felt in a very long time. I would listen to it continuously as I traveled to and from school. It became a ritual, something to look forward to. It was truly positive fuel and energy for me.

 

Now fast forward to the Fantasea release were the escapism really began. I could put this on and for an hour or so I could forget about all the emotional troubles I was facing. So that lead to me literally playing Fantasea nonstop all summer. And this was before I talked to any of the other fans or even looked at Azealia’s twitter. So it was just me and the music.

 

I wholeheartedly credit Azealia for helping me cope during that melancholy time period of my life. I could throw on 1991 + Fantasea and almost forget that my mother was no longer with me, that my life had drastically changed, and I was extremely unhappy. Azealia’s music helped me push through and want to get up in the morning. I mean her music still helps me to this day and she knows how much she’s helped me.

 

So I think thats why I defend her so intensely. Because I feel I owe her so much for helping me carry on. I have so much love for her because what her music has done for me.

 

Nervous tbh :gum: 

I root for you. I love you. You, you, you, you.

Aww Thats really great, i didn't know you had that much of a link with AB, im happy that her music helped you to move forward in life, because the death of a familiy member specially of a mother is really hard. I hope she still helps you for years to come, and stay strong and happy :)! And im so sorry to hear that about your mom, she will always be with you. Don't forget that.

Music can have such a great impact on motivation and your general mood. It's great that AB's music helped you through something that must have been so difficult to experience. :hug:

 

Gaga has been that been that artist for me since last year. I was in such a dark place and was thinking about suicide a lot. It was a very lonely time in my life. Experiencing that at the same time that she was depressed because of the whole thing with her manager (I also remember reading a very touching interview in January) really made me feel a connection with her and her music. I might be "only a fan since ARTPOP", but that doesn't make me less of a fan. She means that much to me.

I'm so sad to hear what you went through with the death of your mother and the emotional trauma that went with it. :emo: Thank you for sharing with us. :hug:

 

I'm so glad to hear that she touched you like that and helped you get through it all. I love happy endings! :party::sara:
