“If for one minute you think you’re better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn’t know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about. ”
— Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance)
All of this kind of reminds me of a parent teaching their kid how to ride a bike for the first time. You know, where they hold on a bit and the kid is screaming “Don’t let go, Daddy, don’t let go” and they say they won’t but after a few minutes, they do, and you wobble at first, but then you glide on down the sidewalk all by yourself.
Because you could keep going all by yourself and they knew that.
All you have to do is keep pedalling.
It’ll be okay.
