Music is the Reason why I am Currently Alive

Therapy by All Time Low

I have always loved music. Nothing has ever meant more to me in the entire world. It is my life source; without it, I would be dead by now. No one knows the pain that I have to go through or what gets me through it.

There is one song in particular though, Therapy by All Time Low. It speaks to me so much; it describes my life so well. Therapy is the only song on my iPod that I can’t skip and I have almost 400 songs.

I am a loner, I don’t have many friends and it feels like the friends I do have don’t care anymore or that much.

Before I heard this song, I thought my life was going to end, I was that depressed. But, then I heard Alex Gaskarth’s voice singing the lyrics about his brother’s suicide and it all stopped then: the depression, the wanting for another life, everything. Nothing in me wants to die anymore. I am free.

There have been times when I wanted to scream at the world and curse at all the bad things that have happened to me.

I have wanted to give up.

I have wanted to die countless times.

There have been times when I have thought about killing myself. I have almost attempted it.

Then I heard this song. It all stopped. I no longer feel the need to give up on the world. The need to end my life, the need to cry about my horrible life, and I now feel the need to try to push through this.

I heard this song less than half a year ago. The first time I heard it, I fell in love. I will never love anything more.

This song saved my life. No other song will help me through anything like this song has.

Therapy is the reason why I am currently alive.
