A Message From Operation Car Radio
So there was this
guy, and one morning he walked out into his front yard and found a severed hand
in his flower bed. This was only the first of many discoveries made that
morning. Police had to close off four blocks to retrieve the broken remains of
what was once a whole human being. Sometime during the night a young man had
climbed to the top of a 900-foot transmitter tower. It was first reported that
he had fallen from the tower, but in reality, he had jumped. It was suicide.
That young man was my cousin and my hero. The last time I saw him was about a
week before he died. He had taken me out to lunch because I was having a bad
day. One of our favorite things to do together was to share music. For some
reason I never shared Twenty One Pilots with him. I wish I would have. Whether
or not their music would have saved him, I don't know, but it is better to try
and fail than to never try at all. I owe most of who I am today to who he was.
The sad truth is that we all know a fallen hero. They might not have been your
hero, but they were a hero to someone. You are a hero to someone.
Skeleton Clique, as we embark on our journey to raise money for the #stayaliveproject, I want you to do two things:
1.) Identify your hero and tell them what they mean to you. Even the heroes lose their strength sometimes and need to be reminded of their worth.
2.) Find someone to stay alive for.
The basic definition of the word "alive" is simply to exist and to not be dead. Another definition, however, says that to be alive is to be in a state of action or force, and to be full of energy and spirit. That's what we want. We want people to stay alive. That's basically the message of Twenty One Pilots. I am going to choose to stay alive for my cousin, even though he couldn't stay alive himself. I am staying alive because I want people to be like him, not end up like him. I didn't share Twenty One Pilots with him, but I can still share them with countless others who might need to hear their message of hope just as much as he did.
So, pilots. Who are you staying alive for?
