#weheeeeeee

I struggled HARD with being honest about who I was when I was younger so I never got to experience what other emos got to experience.  I knew who MCR was because I was just on the “outskirts” of the scene, but I was more focused on pop music and Britney, etc and I always thought that I couldn’t be both - I had to pick one side or another.  It was just like drawing a line in the sand with Backstreet Boys and NSync...you had to be one or the other, that’s how I felt - I couldn’t love Britney AND love MCR.  

I loved FOB at the time, but I honestly kept that as a secret and pretended to HATE Pete Wentz (SHOCKING REVELATION).  I was honestly trying to fit into this random mold/hole that I thought I had to be in based on some fucked up internal thoughts and the world

I hadn’t heard of Pastel Goth during this time and I felt like I didn’t fit in with the goth look so I was floundering and failing in being me in all aspects. 

I started to tear up and cry because I will be seeing a band that influenced a whole generation of people, but who even in my 30s has influenced/told me that it’s ok to be me in all aspects.
