Emo

[AbsoluteAwesome1]

Who ever said go listen to Pretty. Odd. That is an AMAZING cd that if you didn't know it was PATD you would never expect t and it's really hppy....my dad said it sounded like the Beattles....and yeah indie music isn't creepy...

^Listenin' to it right now. Good, I suppose. I like the other album better, though, so far.

I've only listened to it, maybe 2 or 3 times.

Well, as you said that you only confided in 1/2 people and that most people are very secretive about it. But i will tell you something about me that you wouldn't know.

If i lived near you and was your friend to any calibur, then you would have told me. I am just that kind of person, a person that,for some reason, people feel they can trust. I have four friends that cut for serious reasons, and i made them get help, one friend who is in a foster home b/c her mom abused her, and one friend that has a dead-beat dad that drinks, and i have three close friends that drink ofr various reasons, not just to party.

I absolutely love everyone of them, and that could never change, but i do have all of them get help in some way. and even though emo and cutting arent synonymous, its the fact that the younger you are the less control you have of how intense the music is, and that can really get to some people.

I don't know. I had 5 best friends that I told everything to, but I only told one of my best friends (my closest one) and my cousin. I never told them I was cutting though. I told them what was going on in my life. My other best friends knew I was sad, but had no idea as to why. Until a little while ago, only my psychiatrist and I knew that I cut ever.

I am one to believe that the music I listened to helped me get through my troubling times, instead of cause them to get worse. To know someone felt the same intense pain that I did was weirdly comforting.

It's so weird to have people talk about P!ATD. I remember, like 6 months before their first album came out, I was listening to their demo in my car and people looked at me weirdly as they passed my car (I was in the school parking lot waiting for Eric to get out of class). Then, when P!ATD got popular, everybody listened to them. Their album is different than their demo though, I suppose. I dunno, personally, I thought the demo music was better than the final product of the songs.

I totally agreed with that last thing you said.
The music I listened to when I was depressed, it helped me. I don't think it could ever have made me worse.
Like you said, it was like someone in this world understood.
Music, combined with someone who I could talk to (but didn't directly know, and probably never would) was what got me through.
