Don't let someone else tell you who to die as.
I was looking at a sign Gerard Way was holding durring some 2000s concert that said "NEVER Let Them Take You ALIVE!"
Here:
I think what he means by this is don't let anyone take your life and make it what they want.
Live as you and don't die to anything. Live and die as yourself.
Anyway, I'm inferring into it. I think a lot, you probably do if you're emo, a teen, or on the fucking planet. I was a kid pre 2020s. I get what I can from before essentially pre 2010s off the internet. Sometimes the cultural backwater of what it meant to be emo is all that is available and you bet I absolutely attempt to wade in, if not drown in the tears of teens past. What else am I meant to do?
I feel things fully and I don't want to be ashamed of how I feel or express that emotion.
However you are and however you express that is VALID.
Don't let anyone take your life as there own. Be you! Be original and steal all the inspiration you need to do that! Art and whatever the fuck else. Be completely anything and anyone you feel like as long as it doesn't hurt anyone!! What the fuck is the point in not Loving and living like this is the only life you'll get?? Because, it is. It is your one and only very precious chance to scream your heart out in pain, sorrow, love (lost and found), and anything the fuck else you want it to be and it can be. ππ
Because, in the end most of us are castaways or stray children becoming adults in a world that forgot to tell us or didn't care to show us how. If anything, it made us worse as we lost fellow friends and fighters along the way. π₯
Live out loud. Die as who you want to be. Scream at the clouds of you need to!! Just Please, to me and to you, refuse to ignore yourself. Let yourself be YOU even against the odds. If it's safe, tell everyone you know that you know something, anything!!! About you or the world. Because that thing you know matters. You are IMPORTANT. Lay out memories for others and listen to music you love. Dress, act, be, and live as you.
You deserve it.
Who the fuck am I to tell you how to live? Imma fellow human.
What do I care? I don't know you! And so what?! Do what you want. As long as you Do something!! Live life, live the day. You're so precious and valuable I thought I'd tell you, fellow human. Thank you and good night. π€π€π€πΉ
