18 Truths All One Direction Fans In Their 20s Can Relate To
By Monique Steele
True, One Direction fans can be of the 14-year-old girl (or boy!) variety, but there are also we fans that are full-fledged adults with cars, jobs and rent. For those of us straddling the line of adult woman and person with far too many pre-teen interests, we know the struggle is definitely real. There are definitely those moments we can look to each other and say "I feel you, bro."
Yes, these are the universal truths all 20-something 1D fans just know to be true.
That first moment that you fell in love with 1D and you tried to fight it, but you fell hard anyway.
Having to explain to the people you love that "yes it’s true: One Direction is my passion.”
Realizing that you now share your interests with tween girls everywhere (and that's OK).
When you try to explain to your friends why Zayn’s high notes are incredible, and they give you that “oh honey” look
Ditto for Harry’s hair.
Knowing the true meaning of “guilty pleasure."
When you purchase 1D memorabilia and catch that judging side-eye from the girl at the register.
Trying to reconcile your love for Harry Styles with how much older than him you are.
That acknowledgement that you have the same celebrity crush as a 14-year-old.
When “What Makes You Beautiful” starts playing in the mall and you do your best to not sing along.
When you decide to throw caution to the wind and sing along anyway just to get caught in the act by your peers.
When Zayn left the band and you had to call in sick from work.
When you stay up getting all the dirt on new 1D drama instead of filing your taxes.
When you catch all the sexual innuendos in every song.
“Tonight let’s get some and live while we’re young." Alright boys, we hear ya.
When you have to clear your work computer’s history -- not because of NSFW material, but because you’ve Googled “who is Louis dating?" way too many times.
When your concert posters are just a little too real.
When you're afraid to invite people over to your house because then they’ll know a little ~too~ much
Seeing that one other 20-something adult at the concert and knowing you’re not in this alone!
