People that have saved me.

Okay. I'm going to do a major long blog post now, and it's going to just include those people that have saved me, and have made me who I am today, so yeah... enjoy reading, I guess?

Corey Taylor:

Okay. Anyone who knows me obviously knows that I have never-ending love for this specific man. Corey Todd Taylor has saved my life in so many ways. His music just amazes me, he is so talented, as are the other band members in both of his bands (who I love, too). The lyrics he creates always seems to affect me, in a good way, obviously. It's sometimes as if he understands me. Sounds pathetic, I know, but it's just how I feel. Even knowing that a few years ago, he tried to end his own life through suicide really, really, upsets me. I seriously cry at the thought of that happening. It has proven to me that you do -not- need to end your life to end all of your problems, because you can resolve them problems and then those problems will go away. I've been drawn to suicide many times, but this man has stopped me from it. Whether it's by listening to his music, his interviews, reading about him, or even him tweeting, it's stopped me, and I'm so fucking thankful. Having him sending me that one private message over Twitter made my entire life. He knows that I have potential in life, and he wants me to prove that to people that have always brought me down, and that's something that every human wants from their hero. I even had the priveledge of meeting this man, after 3 years of looking up to him, and that was by far, the best day of my entire life. So, thank you so much, Corey, for making me who I am today.

Madina Lake:

This band has changed me in so many different ways. I've loved them since the day they started, and my love for them has never left. Like I said with Corey, their lyrics in actually /all/ of their songs relate to how I feel, and all of their songs have that reassurance in them that everything will still be okay. These guys are true and utter heroes, and all four of them are completely oblivious to it. Having Matthew Leone (far left) being voted as Hero of the Year in the recent Kerrang! Magazine Readers' Poll made me so fucking proud of him and the band, because there is no other man that deserved that spot after all the shit Matthew went through earlier this year. It amazes me that the entire music family came together for the first time in ages to give Matthew their well wishes, and actually proclaim him a hero and a legend, even if them people despise the music he creates, and that proves a lot. The reassurance in all of their songs have saved my life, and being able to thank Nathan Leone (second to right) and Dan Torelli (far right) personally made my life, and knowing that Nathan and Dan (and of course, Mateo and Matthew) love me means so much to me, even hearing them say it to my face made my life worth living. Thank you so much, you dorks. <3

Sylvia Dos Santos:

This will be my last thank you for this blog post, and that beautiful girl up there is one of the best friends a girl could ever have. Sylvia and I haven't had the best of years as the beginning of the year really brought a downfall to our friendship, and if I had to be honest, those first few months were the worst months of my entire life. I always tell this girl how much she means to me, and I thank her as much as I can, but no matter how much I thank her, I still don't feel like I've thanked her enough. I do believe she's oblivious to the fact that she's one of the main people in my life that have saved me, because I've never told her that, but now I'm saying it, and I'm thanking her once again. So, thank you so fucking much, Sylvia, for changing me into the person I am today, and I believe I'm a better person than I was a few years back. We seem to be drifting apart again, because I haven't spoken to you in what seems and feels like forever, and I haven't seen you in what seems and also feels forever. I never, ever, want to lose you as a best friend, because you mean my entire life, and I never thought that I stupid girl like me would be able to have a fantastic, caring, beautiful best friend like you in my life. So thank you SO much, and I love you millions.
