18 years ago you were born into this world, without a clue where life would take you. You were brought up in a poor household with just your mum, but she was amazing, and never failed to meet your needs. Yes, life was a struggle for you, but you got through.
Then when you were about 13 you posted videos on youtube. Who knew that would get you to where you are today? I bet no-one did. Scooter found you, and at first your mum was a bit weary of him. But honestly, who wouldn’t be? He was a grown man who had found some little kid on youtube singing and was suddenly going out of his way to find him. But Scooter didn’t give up and eventually you went to Atlanta.
There was where the dream became reality. You signed your record deal. You released One Time, followed by Baby and the My Worlds album. You grew up. There, right infront of our eyes, you were growing.
But not once did we stop and think “this boy will be an adult soon”, we always imagined you’d stay young forever, but of course, you haven’t.
Today, at 12:56am, you turned 18. You turned an adult.
Now we are letting go of the young you, and saying hello to the older, wiser you.
Yes, sometime we are going to wish that you’d put that grey hoodie back on and go and sing ‘ay ay ay’. But you should know we aren’t saying that because we think you have ‘changed’ or anything, it’s because that’s the little Bieber we fell in love with. Your the Bieber who keeps us in love with you.
Justin, we are so so so proud of you. I can’t begin to explain how proud we actually are. You have grown right infront of our eyes and manged to do it gracefully with the help of your parents and amazing crew who we also can’t thank enough. You go out of your way to make sure everyone else is happy before even stopping to think about yourself. We admire you for that.
You have changed all of our lives in different ways. Touched us by doing the simplest of things. For me? It’s when you go to see children in hospital. That’s when I’m most amazed by you. How you just walk on in there and make their days brighter. How you sit there for hours talking about things that probably don’t interest you at all, but you do it to keep them happy.
Justin, thankyou for everything you’ve done.
Thankyou for being you.
Happy 18th Birthday, from all your beliebers.
We love you.
