(I went with panic because "it fit with my phone case better")

i miss the joy and the misery that era brought me

you walk home from school listening to your spotify playlist that consists of mcr, p!atd, halsey, melanie martinez, arctic monkeys, fall out boy, and twenty-one pilots. you can't afford premium, so your listening gets interrupted by annoying adverts routinely. when you get home, you remember that the boy you like was talking to another girl today, so you open tumblr and scroll, reblogging hundreds of depressing quotes. when bored, you decide to flick through the kerrang! magazine your friend gave you - gerard way is such a smol bean! your instagram emo trinity fan page got a few comments under a tumblr textpost screenshot you reposted, so you feel validated. all the friends you made through that account are ten years older than you, but they're nice, so it doesn't matter. the people on kik are slightly less nice, but its still fun to talk to people on there. if your friends were over right now, you'd probably be on omegle. no one understands you. your teachers keep setting homework, not understanding that teenagers have so many other problems already! and you don't want to ask your parents for piercings or hair dye because you're scared they won't let you ('its not a phase, mum!'). after reading some tyler joseph x josh dun fanfiction on wattpad, you decide to binge-watch dan and phil videos on youtube. they're definitely secretly dating! somehow you end up watching vine compilations. mum makes you food - with quorn, because you recently become a vegetarian. begrudgingly, you do your maths homework that's due the next morning - it takes you hours. you stay up until 2am talking to your american friends, sending each other videos of ibfs meeting up, and promising to hug even harder when you finally meet.

sometimes i miss who i was in 8th grade but then i see these drawings i submitted in art class
