I discovered twenty one pilots the summer before I went into the eighth grade. Life was pretty decent and I really didnt listen to their lyrics as deeply as they are intended to be. But soon after, my mom became really sick. she was in and out of hospitals and there were times i was scared that i would never see her again. i fell into a depression and i turned to self harm to cope with my inner demons. as things began to worsen, i listened to twenty one pilots' lyrics more deeply. i began to understand the significance of tyler's words. as i battled with my depression and the worry i had for my mom, twenty one pilots was what was there for me. Their lyrics have saved me so many times and i could never thank them enough for all they do for me. my mom began to get better luckily as i entered high school. last year was an extremely rough time for me. i was verbally abused and cheated on and my trust issues just piled up and my depression worsened again. i felt absolutely worthless and turned to self harm. Again, tøp was the only hope i had to help me through it all. When the quiet became too violent, i'd turn on twenty one pilots and think about the other mutant kids out there who were dealing with their own demons, too. and realize that i wasnt alone. There are others in this constant battle with themselves and that if they could make it through the day, then so could i. now i sit here in the tenth grade, slowly but surely getting better. i was lucky enough to see tøp on the blurryface tour in philly. and i couldnt be more thankful. i love this band and all that they stand for so much. and i wouldnt be here today if it werent for tyler and josh. i've been devoted to them since they were playing small venues. and i'm here now to see them at madison square garden on the emøtiønal røadshøw tour. i owe tyler and josh everything. and i hope one day that i can tell them how much they mean to me. tyjo and jishwa, if you ever see this, thank yøu for letting me know that life has a hopeful undertone when i saw no purpose in seeking happiness. |-/
