My story about I met Mars begins when I
attended the college two years ago. It all started in April 2011. It was me and
my colleagues, with whom I shared house, sitting on the couch watching TV. To
begin it was not any channel, it was MTV. I hadn’t this channel in my house, so
it was new for me because I had never seen. There we were to see the Top 10
that MTV was showing. It was almost 1 am and in the next day I took classes at
8 am, so I decided to go to sleep. My colleagues stayed there and saw the program
until the end. The next day I asked one of them who had been in the first
place, when she was told me: “Thirty Seconds to Mars with the song closer to
the Edge.” And I said: “I do not know, but how is the music?” And she said, “It’s
extraordinary you should listen”. After she has told me that, I was curious and
I went immediately to the net. When I looked at the band's name the first video
that appeared me was “Kings and Queens”. I was alone at home and I turned the
volume on computer up to enjoy the music. When happened the
"trampling" I heard a loud bang and only know that it scared me
seriously. The funny thing is that this song was broadcasted on a radio station
and whenever it started I turned to a high volume. However when I listened it
I could never hear the name of the band that played that music so I listened
and enjoyed a lot but never had searched the name.
I continued to see and hear more videos until I found “Closer to the Edge”. It was indeed extraordinarily amazing. And thinking to myself: “My God, I got to meet this band, these sounds are awesome and the lyrics are wonderful.” It was from this moment that at the weekends, when I returned at home, I spent my days researching about the band and listening to music. I fully grabbed what I had discovered and I knew I had to know everything about this band minutely. It was from that moment that my life took a big turn. If up to then I had struggled to get into the university, if I hadn’t given up and if I had fought, then after to have met this band my will and courage increased exponentially. And I knew I had to keep on going with this fight.
I became a fighter person, more optimistic. I learned that I mustn’t give up of things however small and insignificant they might be, because in the end all those things made me the person I am today. Always I was in low spirits and sad I thought in those encouraging words that made me raise and move on. I followed up, with strength, energy and courage and I finally could come true one of my dreams. To get finished my college degree. After so many trips, tears, laughter, fun, sweat and comforting words, by my tireless parents and by that amazing band I met, I could overcome all my obstacles and I realized that dream.
To have known Mars made me wake up for a world where anything is possible, we only need to get strength to fight and never give up.
In any moment of my life, Mars is there. Mars could fill in my heart and mind with the deepest feelings I ever felt before.
I was with my uncles, parents, cousins and sister at dinner one day when suddenly I started to have my left leg asleep. I told my mom and she told me to stand up and walk, try to see if relieved. I went to outside, but that dormancy kept there. I started to get weak, seeing things blurred and felting sick. I called my mother...but almost the rest of my family came too ... I turned faint. My mother and my aunt putted their arms around my back to hold me and they were talking to me but I was not conscious enough to can answer them. I was taken to the hospital. That dormancy remained and I was breathing too fast like if I had just run. As I was lying down in that stretcher, in one of the hallways of the hospital waiting for the medic examinations, I only thought about Mars: "I'm here, I do not know why ... I know I have to be strong, I'll get over it." After all, I had had a panic attack. It was the second time that this had happened to me, but this time it was even worse. My mother came to me and I only cried, cried and cried. It was an inexplicable anxiety and apprehension. I was treated with two antidepressants. 4 hours after entering to the hospital, I finally left it. It was a panic attack and a tremendous shock to my parents and to me. My parents told me I had to forget about the problems, and when they appear, I had to deal with them normally.
Currently, when I have not so good thoughts, or something bothers me, I try to calm myself, thinking that everything will be fine. I hear Mars like it was a drug that comes into my veins. I think about all the words that give me inspiration, encouragement and strength to face my problems.
That’s why I’m so grateful for having met Mars, besides the music, sounds, instruments and lyrics which are deeply wonderful, those comforting words that accompany me every day gives me power to overcome my obstacles.
