My letter to mikey

Mikey,

Thank you so much for the music you make, no matter what I feel like I always can listen to some MCR and it’ll pick my day up. You are definitely my favorite of the band, because you mean so much to me, not just because I play bass and so do you, wait that sounded really dumb but yeah you get what I mean right?

The music that you make helps me carry on with my life. Around 4 months ago I got really depressed, I thought everyone was against me and no one cared about me, then a friend of mine told me to look you guys up and I was blown away. I almost immediately perked up, it’s not like everything was perfect but it was better, just something about your music… I still can’t put my finger on it.

You are an inspiration to me though, way more than your music. When heard about the stuff that you the stuff you went through during the making of The Black Parade tells me that I can make it through the day, I think about and I’m like if Mikey FUCKIN Way can do it than I can too.

I’m just gonna sort of tell you all the back story behind this letter too.. I really liked this girl, and she didn’t like me back. Sounds stupid I know but it gets better.. Maybe worse but… I dwelled on it to much, I just kept on thinking that I was never good enough for her… Or my family, I eventually started thinking about how to end it. The two main ideas were running and killing myself. I packed and unpacked my bag about 4 times, I had my suicide letter all planned out and I was cutting. Looking back it all seems stupid. And this makes me look dumb, but…. All the while your music was playing, every time I almost ran or almost killed myself your music came on or I saw something about you.

You have truly saved my life. Thank you so much.
