It all makes so much sense now.

Rejection, loneliness, sadness, yeah I could relate to all of that. But heartbreak? I guess I couldn’t really put myself in that position before.

I always saw these songs as good, but not so much that I connected with them on a deeper level. Now that I actually got my own scars, I appreciate this kind of music so much more now.

When I’m listening to music now, I can hear all of the underlying messages and shit like that.

And now that I think about it, when you experience that kind of pain, how couldn’t you write or sing about it? Why would you keep it bottled up inside and let it fester?

Idk, it’s just some interesting thoughts I’ve had recently.

If any of y’all have been hurt and/or are hurting right now, don’t sit on those negative feelings. Try to let them out of you in some way, because if you don’t they’re only gonna weigh you down and trap you in that place.

Also, call up a friend or someone you can confide in. Even having someone just listen and agree that what happened sucks helps. I mean I would, but I’m not exactly an expert on how to console someone through a period of hardship. Please seek a professional first and then friends/family/strangers on the internet second.

And as someone who’s been there, if you’re having some self-destructive thoughts, don’t be afraid to call this number;
National Suicide Prevention Hotline
1-800-273-8255

And if you can’t trust yourself right now, and if there’s nobody around to give you a ride, take yourself to the nearest emergency care service and tell them what’s going on. Reason why I recommend you have someone take you is because when you’re in that mental space, it can be tempting to end it by just crashing into a wall or rolling off a cliff.

Please, exhaust every option you possibly can before choosing that last resort, because you can only choose to skip to the end once.
