For a while now, I've been keeping a private note on Facebook listing all of the live concerts I've been to. In some odd way, the note's existence and maintenance appeased my own penchant for nostalgia.

It was bound to happen eventually (and surely I should have been less naïve to believe content on Facebook would remain a secret), but the events leading to the note becoming public for a few hours were shocking for my unsuspecting heart. As I commuted into New York City for another day at my winter internship, I updated the note on Facebook's mobile web browser. As usual, I lost service as we entered the Lincoln Tunnel. On our way back to ground level, I then turned my attention to my phone as it buzzed with a notification. When I realized what had happened, I nearly stopped breathing.

Two years have yet to pass since the day my "List of people I've seen/will definitely see in concert so I never forget" went unintentionally viral on Facebook, but 2014 seems long gone. In that moment, it felt like a page of my middle school diary got published to my entire social network... In a way, that's exactly what happened. But as time ticks by, I can't help but feel proud of all of the live music I've seen (regardless of genre - from angsty pop-punk to dirty rap) that has moved me and shaped me. So here it goes... Welcome to the page of my diary that will hopefully be getting updated for as long as I live.

Live music is important; I genuinely believe it can transport you to another world. I hope you all find the time and energy to take yourselves and your loved ones to shows until, well, until you can't.
