Went to Simple Plan concert yesterday night. It was awesome despite the long waiting hours.
I cried when they were singing " Welcome to My Life " I was singing along with them. Memories flash back through my brain like a movie. You might think I'm crazy, too over or whatever.
Past few years was really a hard time for me. Esp from secondary 4 & 5.
We sure faced problems and feel emotional every now and then. But during that time, everyday was a torture. I was never happy. There were many problems that I don't know how to faced, don't know how to solved. From day to night, my mind never rest from worrying. No one was there. & when I say no one, I fucking mean no single soul and person. Everything crushed to me at the same time.
I lost trust, faith in people, things, and myself.
Cry in bed every night. Suicide thoughts knocking on the door.
But I still act tough on the outside. I care too much on how people see me.
I was so afraid of this & that. It seems like my guts was lost, no courage for anything.
Everywhere I go I just pluck in my earpiece, listening to songs that are like saying my stories back to me. It makes me feels like I'm not the only one out there facing all these. I find a way out from music. I get back on my feet through them. It's really yourself against the world.
It's just like a lot of people, who find a way out through arts, dancing, drawing, sports, etc. There are so many cases, so many interview where people say they thought they couldn't continue their life anymore but get back on the feet through what they like/passion/interest.
But all these hard times, makes me a stronger person. We might wondering how come we didn't know how to faced and have such bad thoughts for those problems during that time. I guess it's because we grow up, mentality and thinking changes. Just like when we were small kid, no sweets and snacks seems like the first world problem.
So for all those songs and bands who saved me. Thank you.
Simple Plan ask the fans how their songs helped them in their life.
All the responses helped them to write this song.
I guess this shows how music or a song can save someone life.
