My name is Kayla, I just turned 16 on June 22, and I live in New Jersey. I’ve been supporting Justin for 3 years, and it was on June 19, 2012 that I finally got the chance to meet him. My friend Madison and I were in NYC when we found out about the J&R meet and greet, but we were far from the store and figured it’d be sold out by the time we got there so we just went to look for his hotel. A couple hours later we found out that wristbands were still available, so we figured out how to take the subway to the store. Eventually we got there and got our wristbands. We called our moms practically crying because we were so happy that after 3 years, we’d finally be able to look Justin in the eyes. Let’s fast forward to June 19 th  at 12:30am- the time we (along with our moms) got to J&R to camp out. We were told that a lot of people would probably camp out and that it was going to be crazy, so we got there at 12:30am and ended up being 14 th  in line! We couldn’t believe we were that close to the front! We started listening to the Believe album and we all thought that it was AMAZING (I started crying when “Believe” came on)! Eventually everyone fell asleep besides me so I was beyond bored. I mean cmon…there was no way I was going to be able to sleep knowing that I was meeting Justin! Other people started coming on line at like 6:00am and we were all chanting and just having fun. Fox 5 News came and I got interviewed so it was pretty cool . At like 1:00pm they started moving us up in line and they handed the CDs out. That’s when it really hit me; I was meeting Justin Bieber in less than 2 hours. I was so anxious and excited that I couldn’t stay still. We were all going crazy trying to figure out if he was in any of the cars that were passing by, and by now the line went all the way across the street and around the park a few times. Finally at like 2:30ish we were aloud in the room. They had the album playing and some really nice posters on the wall. There was also a HUGE group of paparazzi so it was crazy in the store. We saw Ry Good and Alfredo come out of another room, and then Kenny came walking down another isle. Soon enough, Justin was walking down the aisle and up to his table. The paps went crazy and Justin got his proclamation. The meet and greets started, and when I realized how fast the line was moving I started freaking out because I had a whole little speech planned out, but I knew I wasn’t going to have time to say it all. I finally got up to the front, and I see Kenny and Moshe then I look up to see Justin looking flawless at the table. Like he literally looks perfect in person. I was pushed towards him and when I got to the table he said, “Hi pretty” and I pretty much died! But I stayed calm, smiled, looked him in the eyes (which are GORGEOUS), and told him that I’ve been supporting him for 3 years and that I’m so proud of how far he has come and that I’d be there supporting him till the very end. He was smiling and kept saying, “Thank you”. I was getting pushed along, but when I said my last few words I started tearing up and he just smiled at me. I turned around to try to see my mom and my friend, but all I saw was cameras and flashes and it was actually scary. I got lost for a minute and didn’t know where to go until a lady called me over and I found the way out. By this time, I was crying my eyes out. As I was walking down the aisle to leave, Fredo was walking towards me and saw me crying and was like, “Don’t cry! Be happy!” and hugged me then kissed me on the cheek! I kept walking and was crying so much that I didn’t even know where my mom was. Apparently after I talked to him, she gave him an invitation to my party (which was the coming Friday) and inside was a letter my little brother wrote for him. I finally saw her behind me and we were both just so happy. We couldn’t believe my dream finally came true. As we were walking outside by the line of girls waiting to get in, everyone saw me crying and started asking questions like “OH MY GOD DID YOU MEET HIM?!” “WHAT’S HE WEARING?!” “CAN YOU TAKE PICTURES?!”  Between crying and processing the fact that I met him, I was so overwhelmed and I couldn’t answer the questions. My mom was answering them because I was just lost. After we calmed down, my friend and I went to Times Square to see if we can see him at MTV. We didn’t (well…we saw his car leave). Overall, it was an amazing experience. Meeting him (and Fredo hugging and kissing me) was the best birthday gift I could have ever gotten, and most definitely something that I’ll never forget.  But with this whole experience, I’ve realized what a crazy and hard life Justin lives. With all the cameras and lights and people yelling at you, it’s got to get tiring. I mean I was in the spotlight for all of 10 minutes and I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t even think. To think that Justin does that 24/7 is unbelievable. I finally understand why he snaps at people sometimes. It all has to become too much sometimes. I think everyone needs to stop saying that “he’s rude” when he snaps at people or that he “disappoints” you when he does something like flip off the paps or deny someone a picture. He’s human too, and when you’re constantly in the spotlight I think you have a right to say no sometimes. Everyone should just try to be more understanding when it comes to his career and way of life and before saying what he did was wrong, just think about what you would’ve done if you were him, living that crazy, hectic life. Anyways, to end my experience I just want to say that you may think you will never meet Justin, but trust me…eventually you will, even if you have to wait 3 years like I did. My advice to you: when you do get your chance, BE CALM AND EMBRACE IT! If you’re crying or something you’ll miss out on what could be your only chance to talk to him. If you have the time, tell him what you’ve been wanting to tell him for years. Talk to him instead of just staring at him. I’m so happy that I was able to say even the few words that I did and I think I would’ve been upset if I spent my 10 seconds with him crying. To Justin: I just want to say that you don’t have to worry about disappointing us because it’s all about the music, and that’s something you can NEVER disappoint us with.  Please don’t worry about constantly being perfect. We know you’re human and that you’re going to make mistakes and we understand. Just remember to do things that make YOU happy, because trust me when I say this- when you’re happy, we’re happy. I love you, and I’ve loved supporting you from the beginning and watching you grow. I’ll be there through all the ups and downs of your journey, no matter what. Thank you for everything. –@yoo_its_kayla See the original post here: My name is Kayla, I just turned 16 on June 22, and I live in New…
