A place to be me again

Finally, I can come back to a moment where I felt fully myself.

Remembering when I had a My Chemical Romance backpack from their kickoff show to The Black Parade album tour. Manchester, NH on February 22. I was in 8th grade.

I put the sticker pack on my door at home along with a few on my bass guitar.

I knew when I was around that age that I would become a musician. Maybe a small one, maybe something better.

I work in an office building now. I live in an apartment with my two cats.

I don’t have much left from those days other than my memories of what I still feel may have been the happiest moments of my life.

I recognize the privilege I have. Two parents who love me to this day and an incredibly normal and happy childhood aside from anxiety. (These days, who doesn’t experience anxiety at some point or another?)

What a fun website to remember the old days and relive my teenage years through the lens of a 31 year old.

Lord, I can’t believe I’m so old now.
