"those boys are bad influences, Megan. They're just going to contaminate you and make you hate yourself."

nothing pisses me off more than when my family says this to me.
I'm sorry, but when I found this band, I wasn't scared to be myself. This fucked up, weird kid that I am. I don't mind being weird. I don't mind thinking differently than everyone else. I don't mind being a little enclosed. I don't mind that I love my comic books more than most people. I don't care. I just care about music and words and things that are inspiring. Things that make me happy. Things that don't judge me like you have taught me to judge. Because of you I will never think of someone as anything besides a label and that hurts me in the long run. I'm fixing myself. I'm trying really hard. And you know why? Because these four men told me that it was okay to be fucked up. It's okay to be sad, and I'm worth more. And I fuckin' love them more than anything else.
