#its been over a decade since this song came out and it still makes me fucking ugly cry every time i hear it

#that point
#i was in a terrible environment and lived under a roof that would have sooner seen me suffer and fade out than just accept who i was
#i VIVIDLY remember this track dropping. i remember being inconsolable. but in a good way. feeling SEEN feeling HEARD. feeling valued and
#cared about. even if it was just as a statistic.
#hearing a group so established basically saying with no room for doubt or confusion 'whats happening to you is WRONG. you deserve better'
#'you deserve to be alive and happy'
#Rise Against was the first band i ever snuck out to see live. the start of a habit that carried through my late teens
#but they were the FIRST
#because i needed.....to go to this tour. i needed to hear it.
#And a decade later and through so much concussion induced memory loss i STILL remember it VIVIDLY IN 4K DETAIL
#standing there in the venue crying my GODDAMN eyes out but in the most positively cathartic way
#imagine being a child raised in the catholic school system with bigoted home relations
#being told you are sick and wrong and broken and damaged
#and need Fixing or you will burn for eternity
#and then one night. you sneak out and hear
#10000 people yelling this song
#about how what you are experiencing is wrong and how you are loved and just need to hold on a little longer
#and to realize
#that the echo chamber you are trapped in is NOT the world at large
#fuckin
#thats such a core moment of my life i owe so much to this fucking band and this fucking song
#anyway. happy pride to young and old. you are loved and you are valid.
