#1YearParamoreFB

It’s been a year since I created this Paramore FanBase (@ParamoreFB).

Since the very first time I listened to Paramore, I knew they will be a huge part of me. This part has increased a lot thank to Twitter. Without it, I would have never known what the Parafamily is, what is a food tweet, what Taylor thinks about or I’d never use the smiley ” :| “.

I wouldn’t have the friends I have. Because, my Twitter friends are REAL friends to me and sometimes the only ones I trust in.

From the beginning, I tried to do my best on Twitter. I still remember when I was about to reach 300 followers and was like “you guys I’m gonna follow and shoutout whoever is my 300th follower!!”. It was soooo fun! And it still is!! By the way, my very first Twitter name was FanParaBase haha.

Then, it came my first heart attack. Paramore’s follow. I remember to wake up, take my iPod and see like 100 mentions: “PARAMORE FOLLOWED YOU!”. Then I checked my followers list and I was like “why you lie to me? they are NOT following!”. Then found out they were and I had got 100 followers. I felt stupid, but blessed and loved too.

After that, I tried so hard to get Hayley to notice me. I ABSOLUTELY love Jeremy and Taylor, they are 2 of my 3 heroes. But, in any way, Hayley has always been like my role model, because she makes me think in a positive way, no matter what happened. So yes, I tried my best to get her follow (like she’s the only one who follows fanbases), and, almost hopeless, @paramorefanfact RT’d me and she did. She just followed me and I remember how I trew my iPod and ran upstairs screaming like a maniac: “HAYLEY, AW.. HAYLEY!!” (I couldn’t say a thing obvs).

The first time Hayley replied, was about my Paramore jacket. But the second one was one of the most important ones ever. She said: “who cares what people think!”. Since this day, I’ve never been afraid to be myself. I just went to my school proudly wearing Paramore shirts, an orange undercut and my massive Doctor Martens boots. Got called many things, but… who cares what people think!?.

Otherwise, she has personally helped me in a concrete situation via DM so nobody knows about it. I’m not gonna tell what we were talking about because it’s really really personal, but I know you all don’t judge me and will support me, as I will always do with you all. But if she’s also your role model, you have the best one. Trust me.

Oh and I can’t forget about Jeremy and Taylor! Jeremy replied me once, also about my jacket, saying that it was nice and he would wear it. And about Taylor, I asked his friend to ask him what was his favorite Spanish city (because I’m Spanish and Taylor loves Spain) and he said that Taylor loves them all.

Being replied, RT’d or followed by any Paramore member is the second best thing of this story. The best thing, is you. Whoever is reading this. Because it doesn’t matter if we don’t follow eachother, or never talked. I just feel like we are a family, and this family means everything to me.

SOOOO many friends. Can’t name them all, but you know I’m here for you. ALWAYS. No matter what, I’ll try to help you. I will always love you. I will always support you. Why? Because I know that if I’m down, you will do the same. And I don’t care if you are a big, small, or non- fanbase. I usually forget to reply because I have no time and my memory, well, it sucks. But you can find me easier on @GuilleRiot.

Parafamily, thank you for giving me the chance to keep you updated with Paramore’s news, and also letting me tweet quotes (I love them) and the stupid things I usually think.

My name is Guille (I’m a boy), I live in Spain. I’m 17 years old (scared of being 18 on 29th October). My English is far awar from being good but I just try my best. I saw Paramore live on July 11th in Madrid, where Hayley looked, smiled and pointed at me! And also love my chemical romance, you me at six, 30stm, atl, gaga, adele, the pretty reckless, new found glory, jimmy eat world, frank sinatra, the cure, prince, michael jackson and many many more. OH! Got addicted to General Ghost btw. And one of my fav movies ever is The Wizard Of Oz (one quote from this movie: “hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.”

Thank you SO much, and I love you all with all my heart, PARAFAMILY.
