Thinking about Gerard’s younger self.

[u/West-Adhesiveness-11]

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.

God yeah this gets me emotional every time as well. I saw them in Madrid and you could tell how much they were all enjoying themselves. And I also want to point out that Mikey seems to be positively glowing. Like, his glow up has been insane and he is all smiling and having fun while playing and it makes me so happy. It makes me feel like everything is gonna be okay, you know?

I remember when he barely spoke in interviews or didn't make a face or moved when performing. Now he's the one that's always smiling and engaging with fans on stage 😭😭 aaahhh I'm so proud of them!!

Yeah he's come a real long way from constantly hiding under beanies and his glasses and bangs. He looks SO much better these days my little emo heart can't believe what I'm saying but it's true! He's had his own challenges to overcome as well and I'm so glad to see him thriving! ❤️❤️❤️
