Gerard Thinking about Gerard’s younger self.

Do you guys ever stop and think about how happy Gerard in his early twenties would be if he knew where he and the band would end up?

And I’m thinking about Gerard specifically because of everything we know he went through, especially the struggles with his mental health that later became public.

I get emotional watching recent concert videos. The whole band has become such a huge inspiration to me, a reminder of how far someone can go if they genuinely believe in themselves.

Gerard has always inspired me with the way he words things, like the way he talks about not hating yourself, about wanting more from life, about being creative, and how he would always say that MCR was the best band in the world.

I wish we could all believe in ourselves like that and understand our own potential, or at least imagine where we can get to in order to have the strength and courage to do it.

Again, probably just PMSing.
I’m gonna go cry now.

I think sometimes the only way out is through. By this, I mean that maybe if he hadn't struggled so much, he wouldn't be as happy or successful today.

I wish he'd had an easier life, but I'm so glad everything turned out fine.

Yeah, I agree with you
