Fun fact I'm super self conscious and I post all these photos to force myself to get used to being perceived and start believing I'm not horrible and ugly human. I'm gonna try to like myself and I thank you all for being kind. Here is a post run photo of me looking kinda good tbh

When I was 15 I went to a doctor because I was anxious and they responded by giving me a script for Xanax and sending me on my way. The obvious happened and I became addicted and I struggled with that for years. I was surrounded by pills from a very young age. Start of thread.

Every band should include the following: -a singer who is very philosophical and thrives on recognizing the beauty in the little things -a drummer who loves sports -A very kind person who is mostly offline playing guitar -Nick Webber -The silliest person to ever do it on bass

Here's lore for the real ones. For a decent stretch from high school to early undergrad I struggled with addiction (pills, mainly xanax). That shit sucks and if you're struggling just know I love you and I know that you're trying. I wasn't really told that and I wish I had been.

Hello, my name is Ben and I wrote a little list for my top 30 songs of the year. All of these tracks have meant a lot to me and ranking is based solely on what they made me feel. They are all incredible and deserving of love. Only 2 songs per release is the only rule I had.

DIY regardless of genre has a low barrier of entry because it's meant to be welcoming. It's a community that exists so some kid can pick up a guitar and create. It's not about being famous but motherfucker some of these bands will be huge. Go to shows and love it while it's here.

Nobody should ever be killed in their home for no reason by people who are supposed to be "protectors". Sonya Massey should be alive and those killers who wanted an excuse to pull their gun on an unarmed woman shouldn't be allowed to walk free again.

Happy Pride Month, especially to all the people who told me I couldn't be queer because I keep dating women. Boy were they shocked when I came out as non-binary and they didn't know what to say anymore. I love all of you, queer or otherwise and think you're doing great.
