I Remember Where I Was When MCR Broke Up

It was the worst day of my emo life.

I Remember Where I Was When MCR Broke Up

If you've read my other articles, you know I love My Chemical Romance. If you haven't, then know I had a raging emo phase. I exclusively listened to bands. Primarily, My Chemical Romance. I thought very highly of them and that honestly does not begin to cover how much I loved them.

I dreamed of seeing them perform live. It's likely the only group that I wished I could see live. There hasn't been any artist since them where I would spend a ridiculous amount of money if it meant I could go see them.

It's been so long so I don't remember the exact date but I'm pretty sure it was March 22nd, 2013 that they broke up. I was in the room, I was in a pink robe posting onto the MCR page on Facebook that I ran with my best friends.

I went back onto the Facebook dashboard, I refreshed it and found something that really shattered my world.

I definitely was in denial about it for a good twenty minutes. I was absolutely shocked to see that they had released a statement where they announced their break up. It was an incredibly short statement, too. Too short to repair the heartbreak I felt.

My dad felt that I was being very dramatic when I started crying but they were my world at the time. I'm sure there are artists that you would be devastated if they announced they would no longer perform.

I spent that night laying there in disbelief. I'm fairly certain that was my first experience with heartbreak. The next day I had a competition for a club that I was in at school. I couldn't concentrate, I couldn't be happy. Dramatic, I know.

For a very long time after they broke up, I couldn't listen to their music without getting emotional. There was one song in particular that they released in response to their break up that continues to make me feel some type of way.

It may seem like it's insane for me to feel this way but this band did a lot for me indirectly. It shaped many of my views at the time and provided me with a lot of self-confidence that I didn't have before.

I doubt that I would be the person I am today if it weren't for them. That's why their breakup was an event that is forever engraved in my mind.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
