Hello, kitties (=^.^=)
So, for my second blog homework, I decided to write about something that is very importante to me: Music.
In my opinion, the album “Deja Entendu” from the band “Brand New” is something that everyone struggling should listen to at least once.
Brand New is na alternative rock band (indie rock, pop punk and emocore are also style definitions for them) with very deep lyrics and goosebumpsing songs!
My favorite album from them is “Deja Entendu”, it has a beautiful cover and it was released on 2003, it took them about one year and a half to write it and it was one of the albums who gave Brand New a big standout.
The reason why I love this album so much it´s because it was my closest friend in a very dificult time of my life, I used to listen to it everytime I felt more suicidal or impulsive; Suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder really shook up my life and left me in a denialing chaotic mess.
The triggers, the anger, the 5 hour cries… It was all very difficult for me at the time (I was around seventeen), I didn´t knew anyone else like me, I pushed everyone away and was really possessive and clingy (it´s a very common sympthom on Borderlines because of the abandonement issues), I felt everything so much and so intensevly that I required to have SOS coping mechanisms before I bursted in a psychotic frenzy (I started self harming, drinking, smoking.
But then, I found “Brand New”, the Music envolved me in such a heart warming way that I could burst out just by listening to it. Their music gave me the emotional explossion I needed without hurting anyone including myself, I needed to be emotionally exhausted, I needed to let all of my crazy out… And this band (with all of their albums) allowed me to do that, they gave me a friendly shoulder to cry on.
With time, they actually to help me to control my suicidal urges, my need to destroy myself so I could stop feeling everything so much all the time.
I decided to do this topic so it could be not only a musical recomendation, but also as na awareness post to this Yellow September (awareness month to Suicide), there all many people suffering and we don´t even noticed them.
Im sure lots of people don´t like this band and even considerer it as “not music” (and that´s okay!), but destroying someone´s life saver just because it doesn´t meet your personal taste is honestly one of the most despicable actions someone can have.
Leave your opinions aside, it´s not about you! It´s about being happy for people that find something that releases their pain, it´s about what saving lifes!
I really hope you liked my post and that my words could bring comfort to some and compassion to others.
Catnipp scented kisses to all and remember kitties, stay strong!
