Justin's first book was called First Steps To Forever. His next one was Just The Beginning. So I have to ask — is this the end, or just the beginning? 👀
Where have all the Beliebers gone?!
I used to genuinely believe he had a PhD. Like, Dr. Bieber. That's how seriously I took it all.
All the girlies who were teenagers back then have grown up now. The ones who lifted each other up on Twitter. The ones who made BELIEBERS feel like a FAMILY. The ones who trended Justin Bieber from their school laptops at midnight.
Justin is now married. OLLG is a ritual of the past. He's a father. And yet — there is still a teenager living somewhere inside my body who used BIEBER as her last name on Facebook. Yes. I did that. No I will not be taking questions.
I was actually bullied for being a Belieber. The boys at school mocked him, called him gay like it was an insult — and honestly? That contributed to a nervous breakdown I had at 15. Growing up, I realise: even if he was, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I didn't need to carry all of that on my nervous system.
Me and my few fellow Beliebers at school used to imagine — WHAT IF Justin Bieber just showed up at our school one day, the way he used to surprise fans. The fantasy was so real to us.
Anyway. My thoughts are heterogeneous sometimes. 🌀
COMING BACK TO THE POINT —
How many of you would participate if I conducted research on Justin Bieber and Belieber fandom culture? Fan communities, teenage sisterhood, the girls who built his career with their emotional labour and got mocked for it?
It's going to be fun. Shawty let's go go go. 🎤
Drop a 🙋 in the comments if you'd participate. I'm serious , very.
