I'm Not Happy, But I'm Alive

Grade 10 ended and I lost Patrick as my best friend. He just completely ignored me and didn't want to talk to me anymore. I thought I lost my entire world. He was my best friend the person I could tell anything too. Literally anything.

After losing Patrick I got back to self harm and cried a lot. I barely left my bed, and I thought my whole world was crumbling around me. Until I was reminded that I had Twenty One Pilots. I made a fan account on Instagram in hopes one day they notice and I can thank them. I listen to their music more now than ever. The more I listen I get the messages of their songs and it just brings me away from my dark place.

I'm almost 16 and I'll be starting grade 11 soon. I'm not happy, I won't ever be, but I'm breathing. I found my purpose. I'm going to study hard, pass my classes, not worry about relationships, Don and I are going to be gym rats. I'm going to be healthier and get out more. I'm not going to let people treat me badly anymore. I want to be healed one day. I'm going to make my uncle proud. I'm gong to make sure my parents know I'm not worthless.

Everyone goes through a rough time in their life, all I have to say is that it does get better. Find what you love and a great group of friends and you can do anything.

I want to thank Tyler and Josh for having such powerful lyrics, reminding me to stay alive, and telling the clique that there's better things in life than being sad.

I hope to meet the boys one day, so I can thank them for caring about their fans, and that they really changed my life completely. I'm going to meet them if it's the last thing I do.
