In the state of Washington, under a near constant cover of clouds and rain, there’s a small town named Forks. Population: 3,120 people. This is where I’m moving.

can we just talk about how far these two boys have come??? Like???? from playing venues with -25 people in attendance and touring in a van hours away from home to play 4 songs and then being discovered and signed and playing in small venues, then bigger venues, now playing sold out shows in arenas and packing festival crowds like…

these two baby boys from ohio with a small dream to make it in the industry and now theyre one of the biggest bands in the world and are still gaining recognition. and theyre still worried that people will stop supporting them’??? Like im sorry but these two boys mean more to me than 90% of the poeple I know in my real true life. they have made such an impact on me and were brought into my life in a time that i wasnt sure i was gonna make it. I didnt know what i was doing or who i was but the minute i decided to give them a chance, nothing was ever the same. 

I had just graduated college a week before and kept seeing them on my timeline and dashboard and thought “hey theyre cute and everyone loves them lemme listen right quick”

If i had known then what i know now, i wouldve prepared myself for the journey i was about to take. the first time i heard car radio, i watched the video and i felt something inside me shift. my life would never be the same. I had no idea I felt the way i did until tyler joseph gave me the words to express it. next was holding on to you and i may joke that its my national anthem, but i have no words to express how that song makes me feel. its opened up something in me that i cant acknowledge properly. hearing it live is the most lively experience. it feels like home. 

migraine is my top favorite song. it hit me like a ton of bricks when i first heard it and every time i hear it, i thank God for bringing these boys into my life. tyler gets it. he understands and he gave me the words to get through a lot of shit. it sparked a lot of creativity and gave me hope. it was the inspiration behind my first tattoo and a huuuuge bonding experience for me and my bestie. 

the wonderful thing about this band is that they give us the tools to stay alive and keep going, but they dont take credit for it. they dont want to be responsible for our lives but want to give us the strength and courage to know that we are not alone and that everyone goes thru shit, but it gets better or at least you can be strong enough to make it thru. life is crazy and hard, but youll always have these two boys and their music to remind you that you have a family in them and the clique. they make us feel important and included. they are special. they are ours. they’re twenty one pilots and so are we.
