oh sweet catastrophe

i didn't show you guys that this was a thing. and if you can't read it since webcams suck and it's backwards, it says 'don't you hold back, don't you slow down; love ya kid'. richard rogers from secrets, a band that i can honestly say saved my life, wrote it out for me. i went to their signing at warped tour, and made it about a whole twenty seconds before i absolutely started sobbing. they were all totally amazing people, they signed my copy of fragile figures and gave me high-fives (probs in hopes that i'd stop ugly sobbing all over all of them) and i gave them the letter i wrote. i just can't explain to you how life changing just that moment of meeting them was. after i went home i posted a picture of what richard wrote for me on instagram, and i woke up the next morning and saw that richard actually replied to my picture and said 'you are beautiful. don't ever hold back. (:' and it sounds fucking stupid, but having him write out some lyrics that kept me living and then seeing him say that directly to me was literally life altering. even the 'love ya kid' that he wrote and i didn't notice until later is something i will always remember and look at when i need it most. i plan on getting the lyrics tattooed on me in his handwriting really really soon.
