What MCR Means to Me

I've been noticing alot of these kinds of posts, and they got me to thinking...how has MCR made the life of a ghost worth living? Well, here's how.

I'm pretty messed, but who isn't? After dealing with the deaths of some very close ones at a young age, and getting pressed unknowingly by my parents to be more social and perfect role model. I started to feel like I had to be this sweet little girl that did everything so perfectly. No one really got that I felt terrible inside. Eventually it all started getting to me, I was caving in on myself, talking to people less and less, and running away from the real world that expected so much from me. My only escape from it all was music, it could lessen the troubles, but I had yet to find the music that truely spoke to me.
I'd never given much thought to My Chemical Romace until I heard SING performed on Glee. I did my reserch and discovered that I had MCR to thank for the first song ever that made me feel better than I had in a long time. As time went on, I found more songs that made me feel like a normal person for once, and I started to get personal connections to certain songs for certain things. I also started to realizing that there were people worse off than me, and that I was lucky to have people who loved and cared about me. I started listening to MCR on a daily basis, hearing them tell me that it was okay to be different, that my pain was shared by many others, and that I should just be myself. I'm happy now thanks to My Chemical Romance and their work that speaks about everything most artists are afraid to say.
