“ This isnt about that hot and sweaty feeling of being smashed in a sea of a thousand people, or dressing up for the show on Friday, or throwing elbows at the dude who is sweating all up on your back, or winking at the bass player or impressing boys or girls or bands or security guards, or getting on tour busses. It’s about being alone in your room with headphones on and feeling it so hard it brings tears to your eyes. It’s about driving home alone at night and screaming at the top of your lungs to words that at that moment in the world, only you understand. It’s about not being scared anymore. It’s about the refusal to sit on a couch and rot. It’s about forcing yourself out the door to be productive. And it’s about wanting to live so hard you just know you’re going to shred this world or go out trying. ”
