Wow! This is exactly what I needed today! Passion is read as obsession--or unhealthy obsession, especially among girls. There's so much shame around this that sometimes it does block us from seeing why our identity connects to what we're interested in. Thank you so much for speaking to this and validating so many of my own insecurities. <3

1D is the reason I'm a social media manager today - I still mention in all my job interviews that my first social media account was a 1D fan account on Twitter started when I was 13 years old, and I always think about how proud 13 year old me would be of me today, I am living her dream - this is exactly what I need to read today!

You bloody ROCKING women. My (pre-ordered) copy of MIMS arrived this afternoon and I have inhaled it in one session. It’s an awesome book, just amazing. I’ve now given it to my 22 year-old daughter, she can’t wait to read it and I can’t wait for her to get into it too. It’s the book I WISH I’d had at 22!! Well done to all involved. Brava, brava, brava.

Preordering- this just sold me. 1D is the reason why I work in fandom marketing. I will forever be proud of the skills I gained from being a direction lol
