Gerard Way. Today is your birthday. And today I really celebrate the fact you came into this world.
On your own account (along with the band, of course), you have given me 60 (soon to be 67) amazing concerts. 4 inspiring albums. And I’ve been lucky enough to meet you 17 times. Every time I have, you’ve been the most amazing guy in the world to me.
From drawing me little pictures, complimenting my artwork and telling me when I make it you want my first printed comic (I’ll NEVER forget that. NEVER.) or the time you absolutely saved my life and spent almost an hour talking to me, you are the best.
And I’ll never forget the day you saved me, you and Mikey.
Warped Tour.
I was cutting. You stopped me. You let me cry. You let me break down about my abusive relationship (at the time) and you let me get everything out. The eating disorder. The drugs. The drinking.
You and Mikey both talked me out of suicide. You made me promise to stop cutting. You made me promise to leave them and find someone worth my while.
You even told me to go after her.
It took a while, I’m still not 100% better, but the cutting stopped. I gotout of that relationship. And guess what? I went after her, and I got her. 3 years and counting.
All in all Gerard, you are basically my hero. I’d want you more as afather or older brother in my life, than anything else. No man in my life has done ANYTHING remotely close for me compared to what you have done.
All I can remember, is at the private NYC show, you saw me cryingduring SING, walked right over, and took my hand. And you held it. You made me cry harder you bastard.
And then the night of the Billboard live chat, I promised my friend Alyson I’d get her to meet you guys, and I did. But I was still nervous, even though Frank came right over and hugged me and asked US if we wanted a picture.
I was shaking. I don’t know why. But I was, and I was fumbling words trying to explain to the guy how to take a picture on my camera (which you can tell he failed at) and I just felt an arm around my back and a squeeze. I almost started crying. In fact, when I left, and Alyson was freaking out, I was more so crying than anything.
I just love you. I really do. And it’s not in a fangirl way.
And so many people judge me for my obsession with you guys.
And I just don’t care. You boys are my fucking heros.
And I love you.
Happy Birthday <3WFGREHTWRJYE. I know I keep re-blogging this but HOLY FUCK. I love you guys. Legit all of the comment on this… I just went through and read them… and started bawling.
This is the most amazing thing I have ever read.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I love My Chemical Romance.
amazing…. just amazing
:’) This just gave me so much hope. I feel like I should be jealous, but I’m not. I am so, so deeply happy for you. This makes everything so much brighter for me at the moment. Thanks for this
My boys <3
This band is amazing.
