"It's the Tenerife Sea"

So recently, I've been diagnosed with PCD. PCD stands for Post-Concert Depression. It occurs after every concert one attends and its symptoms are pretty self-explanatory. I didn't need to go to a doctor to confirm it, it was just obvious, beyond control, and self-diagnosed. No regrets though! I got myself into this, and as soon as I examined myself and found out I had PCD, I wrote about it (and the reason behind it), unedited- below. If you're going through *spoiler* Ed Sheeran PCD right now, I recommend you NOT to read this, as it may trigger you (with tears and an outburst of emotions). Read at your own risk!

It's currently 2:24am on the wee hours after the #EdSheeranMNL concert. I am emotionally drained and unstable, Post-Concert Depression hitting me harder than normal, putting @edsheeran's "X"/"Multiply" album on repeat to keep myself sane, and ditching sleep on a school night. I don't really have the words to explain how everything went down, for in fact I can't understand myself either. Ed was hands-down, AMAZING; and I feel truly blessed to have attended one of his shows. If I could describe the entire musical experience in 5 words/phrases, I would say: spiritual healing, pure passion, tears, real music, and God's gift to humanity in the form of music. Everything feels quite surreal right now, and my everything feels weird and sad and calm and happy and I don't know ??? I didn't expect the intense emotional impact this concert would have on me and with the most of the crowd. I wasn't VIP-seated, but the entire thing felt so beautiful and looked so beautiful, and this is probably the best concert I've gone to. I feel off and my grammar is crumbling to pieces and I don't have the psychological stability to watch video clips of the concert on my phone. WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Ed was just oozing with passion and love for music, and he was so happy and I was so proud of him for making it so far, for getting his songs and albums #1, when his previous EPs wouldn't even get noticed. I love his humility in things and just his overall aura. He was genuine and 100% honest when he said that Manila was the best reception he's ever received, and it felt so good to be on the same boat as he was... I bet he felt the atmosphere as well. He's just such an incredibly blessed and talented guy, and he definitely deserves all the success he's enjoying right now. I hope he comes back for another concert (like he said) and jUST AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWAHHHHHHHH it's almost 3am and I'm seriously thinking about going #TeamNoSleep on all of this but I have graduation practices tomorrow + drama club rehearsals so I'm not entirely sure. I'VE HAD TENERIFE SEA ON REPEAT FOR 23423423423423 TIMES NOW AND WAHHHHHH. Thank You, Lord God, for letting me experience such a beautiful thing! And thank You for creating such an amazing human being such as Ed Sheeran!
