It’s funny how a group of friends making music together can impact a fan’s life;

Good Charlotte: My first band obsession. I’ll never be ashamed in saying they were the beginning of why I ever even wanted to become myself rather than anyone else.

Taking Back Sunday: A thousand carefully laid out letters to make the most smooth flowing lyrics about being fucked over. Always there for me.

Green Day: My heart will always belong to punk rock. All albums remind me of a different time in my life. Such a youthful feeling with every listen.

Fall Out Boy: Long story shortened a bit; four men who combined their talents and made me feel less alien than ever since I was a teenager. Every song written hits closer to home than anything else almost to a scary level. 

My Chemical Romance: These guys taught me more life lessons than any one person ever could. I now know what life means to me. I credit them for letting me in on how to save myself so I can place others on the same path.

Blink-182: Not all good music has to be purely serious. Blink never fails me, never will. 

I could have said so much more. I try to put it all into words and I start getting headaches. Multiples at once. This will be edited.

My first (and only for the time being) tattoo. A lot of people ask me why I’d put a spider on my neck, not knowing the Danger Days reference it holds. Really, it’s not all just about getting the tattoo because I’m a huge or dedicated fan. The symbol of the American Widow (because of the album, yes) gave me a solid symbol for being honest with myself about who I am as a person. It gave me a symbol to look back on and remember, in the times I need a reminder, that I’m the only one that can save myself. That there are a million different things to be thankful for and live for. That the world, through all the shit we’re volunteered into, it’s worth the fight. We were given one chance to live, and we should all make the best of it and try to be the best people we can in the short time we are given. Politeness carries one a long way.

Never, ever let someone tell you that you need anyone to be happy. Work on yourself and focus on the things that mean the most to you, the things that motivate you to keep on living.

I’ll always be here, for every single one of you.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle, yeah.

My Chemical Romance

saved my life. No lie. Taught me how to be myself, love it and live with it.

Also, that I’m a special snowflake. 

This would have to be one of my favorite pictures of Gerard ever taken. 

I can’t look at him without thinking of everything he’s taught me over the years. 

In four albums, My Chemical Romance instilled through their music, just what every kid out there needs to know about their time on earth. 

Take it to heart.

When I had nothing else, these men were there. Every step of the way. 

And look at me now.

My Chemical Romance.

Not Yours, not his, not hers, not theirs. 

Mine. 

Every..time.. 

Hang ‘em high.. To dry

It’s not a fashion statement, it’s a bleach stain

Thank you for the quarters 

Thnks fr th mmrs and the venom. 

This ain’t a party. This ain’t a scene. Get off the dancefloor, this is a goddamn arms race. Here comes the gang war. 

I’ve got a bulletproof heart and it’s the worst kind of weapon. 

"6 years ago, I started cutting and starving myself. 1 year ago, I went to a My Chemical Romance concert. I was right in the front, almost touching them. All of my scars and cuts were visible but I didn’t care. Right after one song, Gerard looked right at me, at the scars and the freshly bleeding cuts and told me; “Don’t you ever do that to yourself you hear me? I don’t care what people do to you. Fuck them. Fuck everyone. You are too beautiful to hurt any part of your body. You know what? Come up here. This next songs for you.” Crying and blubbering, I got up onstage where Mikey, Ray and Frank all hugged me."

I can’t save anyone. But, I can suggest that you all save yourselves, because no one else can for you. I love you all. Even the ones I don’t know. Stay strong, never stop running.

I’ll always be there for support.
