perks

Music has always helped me get through really tough times. I would always joke, concert tickets are cheaper then therapy. But it's true. To me, being there, surrounded by these people who love the same music I do, who have been just as inspired and changed by the lyrics, it's a great experience.
Last night I met Patrick Stump after his concert, for the second time this year actually. The first time I was so nervous I could barely say a word. This time I told him that his music has helped me through some really tough times. He said in return that although that's great, getting through those depressing times also has a lot to do with yourself. You can't get better unless you want to.
Music will continue to inspire me, help me, but hearing those words from him, it's given me more faith in myself.
