i admire the lead singer of creed
i don't know his name but i know he has bipolar disorder
i think that the lyric: "hold me now, i'm six feet from the edge and i'm thinking maybe six feet ain't so far down" is delivered with such perfection
i hope he's doing okay

this album came out right when I was working in a semi-toxic workplace and one of my coworkers started to have a breakdown. For him especially the job was deeply unhealthy and toxic.
He was a guy who always hid his issues and pain, thought the only acceptable pathway was to cover up and put on a brave face and say that everything was good and he was always okay. There was shame in admitting weakness or failure or confusion. But things got to be too much and started to spill out and thank goodness he opened up—with me and a couple others—about the depression, suicidal thoughts, childhood trauma, and decade of stuffing it down.
This song was cathartic for all of us at the time: permission granted to be real.
Epilogue to the story above: he quit the toxic job, started getting help, and ever since has been on a journey of open authenticity.
Great song!

I know a lot of people can relate to this song for various reasons but I can relate to it most in the way I see my life after my schizophrenia developed (around pandemic time). not knowing where to go to fit in with others, my academic failing after I was suddenly hit with near constant anhedonia and knowing I have the intelligence to succeed but being unable to apply it anymore, losing friends I didnt even know were fair weather friends, and, of course, feeling very sad. I know the lyrics are probably more of a depression thing but knowing that Brian Wilson also has schizoaffective disorder and knowing how our negative symptoms manifest makes it feel all the more relatable to me. like I said though, even non psychotic people can definitely relate to this track and I think it's really easy to see your own life reflected in the lyrics. plus, the backing track and vocals themselves are beautiful

like if u cry every time
singing ’i am not afraid to keep on living’ is a prayer & a spell .
when i was in first year i blew off a week of classes & hung out w/ my best friend playing halo reach every day & every day i would drive to his house blasting the black parade is dead & cry listening to famous last words especially when they get to the bridge & the whole stadium sings ‘awake & unafraid’
when they played this at the reunion show i went to i just sobbed like genuinely hysterical .. #mcrsavedmylife

wow i recently realised that in scans of cells etc - the cells aren't colourful themselves but it's the process of the fluorescent dyes they use to see the results...
here is a pic of some serotonin crystals under a microscope... like how cool and pretty?

spearmint and peppermint tea is so good because i think it's rare to find a tea that you can drink all year round.
in summer it's refreshing and invigorating
yet in winter it's also quite comforting and warming.
so versatile - shoutout spearmint/peppermint tea
