sure, yes, this is a harsh statement. mental illness or anything surrounding it is no fucking joke what so ever, at all.
but i dont get how its just okay for you to call it quits because you are sad. you help so many people smile, to do the
thing that you say you cannot do right now. have you ever heard of mindfullness? enlighten yourself and the darkness will
no longer overwhelm you anymore. i had one of the best nights of my life at your summit show in june last year (2016). I
went to the show alone that night and usually that is all i can think about when i am at a show alone, but this time it was
different. your album holy ghost had come out just a month ago and i had it on repeat because it put a huge smile on my face
all 32 minutes of that much needed new tuneage from my newly favorite band. music that hits home so hard and touches me to
my core, that it made me feel vulnerable to play at work because these boys are singing everything about my life so right
that those around me could just see right into my fucking soul, right there for them to see. these songs will always mean
so much to me. i dont want to accept your reasons as to why you are not going to give me the pleasure of having you make me
as happy as you used to. you broke all of our hearts by telling ours that yours were broken. please please use this time
to figure out why traveling the world with your friends, being so passionate each night on a stage for all to see: why
the fuck didnt this make you happy if its all that you wanted? its fucked but i bet you are asking yourselves the same thing
right now and i feel that shit so hard that you dont even know. i will always love modern baseball because i havent had a
band rock me like that since the wonder years. so 5 years after a band has affected me so deeply i find another one that
does the same thing, 5 years is a long fucking time. i will tell the legend of mobo and will hope so deeply for their return.
thank you for allowing yourselves to be so open and so vulnerable for all of us to see and share with you for as long as
you could. thank you for showing me that music can still make us feel all the feels yet can still help us to smile and
laugh as well. thank you for being so sensitive and for helping me to let my fear go about feeling everything so intensley.
thank you for singing with everything you have even if it 'technically' might not be considered the best singing ever.
thank you for being so raw and so transparent. i think that everyone in the world should be more like you. a band that can
make you cry but then make you want to shake your booty and dance and sing as hard as you can the next song. thank you for
opening my ears and my mind to this awesome genre of awakward pop punks who dont want to grow up, or be happy i guess. that
is the only thing we do not see eye to eye on. you deserve to want to battle your demons. you have to want to make them
go away. but from the outsider standpoint of a whole tour cancellation and a 'break' sounds to me as if you still want to
hold hands with your demons. go ahead and keep paired up with the darkness. but the dark will not sing your songs back to
you at the top of its lungs. the dark will not cry with you or back at you, the dark wont even let you feel your emotions
that you should hold so dear. please please do not get lost in the dark. you are so beautiful and hey it will get so dark
around here without your smile.
