Emotional Rollercoaster of Being a Celebrity Fan

I've seen different people go wide and crazy at the sight or the voice of a celebrity, and I'm like, What's the big deal with this individual, and why are people all freaked out about them? But then I've come to realize that something just happens, and you might not even be able to put your emotions to words when you see or hear about someone you admire and look up to. I used to think I haven't really got a celebrity that would put me in such a state. Well, that changes in the year 2022, and below is the story behind it.

I can remember growing up and watching a video on TV of how people pay to witness a celebrity such as a musician sing, and just at the sight of such a musician, some of them would faint. I was like, How's this possible? and how I am an individual have so much love and emotions for someone who doesn't even know you exist, but then, like I said earlier, life works in mysterious ways, and the same is the case with me when my favorite celebrity achieves one of his biggest desires.

At the sight of these prompts, I was first wondering if I have any celebrities I can go wide about or talk about all day and the likes and can't seem to conclude on any, and that's because most of my attention was focused on musicians, and I only have a handful of musicians that are my favorites, which are Shola Allyson, Asa, and Olamide, but I don't think I can go all the way over any of them like some people do about their favorite celebrities.

However, I decided to think further, and that led outside of music to other places where we can locate celebrities, and then my mind took me to football. Immediately I remembered football; I knew there and there that's someone I can really go wide about after all, and that's no other person but the greatest footballer of all time, Lionel Messi.

I've been a big fan of Messi for about two decades, and the first time I saw him play was at the under-20 world cup. Despite the fact that he played against us Nigeria at the tournament final and won, I noticed a natural aura of talent around him and have admired him ever since, watching all his matches and wishing him well in all of his ambitions. As he grew, I could help but be so attached to him to the point where I'll literally defend him when someone speaks against him or criticizes him for his failure with the national team at the senior level.

Those days when he missed 4 straight finals at both the World Cup and Copa America were a difficult phrase for not only him but we his fans as well, but everything changed when he won the Copa America in 2021, and then one year later in 2022, he won the World Cup in Qatar. All my life, I'm not sure I've ever been so excited and happy for someone else who achieves great feats.

I was both emotional and excited watching him win the World Cup and was even moved to tears that very day; it was as though I was the one who achieved the great feats, so when talking about a celebrity I'm so fond of, it's definitely Lionel Messi, and I just love everything about him; he's calm, humble, skilled, and many more, to mention but a few.
