Hello everyone! It's Sunday!! I decided to have a post today as well, not my regular day of posting, I know, but just so we could close the dream week! It was a really odd idea that I had, it came from nowhere this tuesday because of a post I did on Monday, and it managed to keep on going until now! It's funny how this ideas come out of nowhere, don't you think?
How are you today? How are things going? As usual, I wish you the best! I know, Sundays can be a bore, but well I hope your day may be a really good one, and there's always tomorrow! Tomorrow is Monday, I also know about that, but well I hope things may be fine in Monday too! Well, let's advance to the post!
So, as I repeated this week, dreams are powerful things, that can be overlooked, and sometimes our decisions and tastes and stuff like that can be influenced by them! My other example of that is how I became an admirer of Shawn Mendes! I don't like to say I'm a fan because I don't know everything about him and I don't know all of his songs, though I have two of his three albums. Anyway, it all started with a dream!

| Here's Shawn, btw! He's a bit cross-eyed |
The name Shawn Mendes was not strange to me back when I had the dream, December of 2016-January 2017, in fact I listened to him for the first time in 2014. But I wasn't too sure about him, I didn't pay attention too much to his songs and I wasn't sure about his voice, his style was not completely understood by me, and I can't deny, his histeric fans made him sound cheap and forgettable. Please, do not get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against fans, I'm a fan myself, even a histeric fan, I know, but it's like, this whole screaming and whole saturation of the person can make it look superficial and boring, if it's everywhere, you don't bond with it! Take Ed Sheeran for example, he can have really beautiful troubadoresque ballads, but because he's everywhere 24/7 you really end up not appreciating him, it becomes boring, it becomes nauseous! That was the case with Shawn for me. It changed as 2016 went by, I started to appreciate him and his songs more, and have more respect for him, and started to follow him on social media. And then I had the dream.
In this dream, Shawn was in a big stage with the spotlights on him, he was wearing a tuxedo, sitting at the piano bench, then he started playing and singing the most beautiful performance of Mercy, one of his songs. And that was it, just him and the song, that was my dream.
I told this dream to a friend who's a member of the fandom of Shawn, and started to pay more attention to him, to listen to him more and as the time went by, by June 2017, I was a huge admirer of this incredible artist! I watched his superb show on Rock in Rio, vividly, and by January 2018 I was even participating in Squads for Shawn and following and interacting with fan clubs and fans of Shawn, his biggest moment with me was probably around February/March of this year.
Today, specially after my bad days of May, I became more distant to him, I'm not listening him too much these days, for now I lost the enthusiasm for him. It's not that I don't love him and admire him anymore, far from that, he's a superb artist, but I just don't have that freak out when I see him on social media, and all of that. But anyway, I still follow his career, and won't stop following his career, actually, and I still love his songs and connect with them, and still think Shawn is fantastic.
And all of that only really took that proportion because of a dream! Shawn was not the first artist I started to follow more closely because of a dream, but he's the most huge example I have right now! And with our MUTUAL friend Shawn, we close our dream week! I'm really glad to have you here reading this! Thank you so much! You're the best!!
And I see you next week!!!!
