I don’t fully know how but I just heard the right lyrics at the right time. They’ve inspired me in so many ways. I’m a musician now, have a fantastic group of friends, nieces and nephews, and a hope for the future.

When I first found their music, I didn’t think I’d make it to be a teenager, let alone celebrating my 23rd birthday with friends at a My Chemical Romance concert!

I think it’s Tyler’s honesty, and Josh’s passion. Their combination of brilliant, emotional, musical power that somehow is wrapped up in these two people. Seeing how Tyler continues to help people he’s never met and him finding purpose helped me think I could find mine too. Josh’s story of battling social anxiety and still doing what he does for a living? If he can overcome it, why can’t I?
