To the band that changed my life,

Thank you for helping me to find hope during a time when everything felt hopeless. Thank you for reminding me that I'm not alone. Thank you for giving me strength to fight my battles each day.

During the past few years, I have been struggling with anxiety and depression. When I first started dealing with these challenges, I felt helpless and did not believe that anything would ever get easier. Certain things helped, but nothing made the problems go away. Music had always been a huge factor in helping me be happier. It wasn't until I discovered the band Twenty One Pilots that I was able to be more confident in my fight against the things that were bringing me down.

One day, I heard the song "Migraine" by Twenty One Pilots, and I felt as if the lyrics were speaking directly to me. The song began with the lyrics, "Am I the only one I know waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?" These lyrics caught my attention because this was exactly how I felt at the time. I listened intently to the whole song, and I heard lyrics that said, "I know that I can fight or I can let the lion win." Upon hearing this, I felt inspired to fight back against my negative thoughts and everything that was trying to control me. This song reminded me that the battles that I fought each day could be won, and I did not have to give up. The song gave me hope.

After I heard this song, I listened to other songs written by Twenty One Pilots. Each was inspirational and gave me that same sense of hope and comfort that I found in that first song. The songs reminded me to keep fighting, even when all I want to do is give up. I listened to Twenty One Pilots every single day during a time when I was really struggling, and I believe that it is because of their music that I fought and made it through. Although I still struggle with my anxiety and depression sometimes, I always turn to their music to help me and I remind myself that it will get better, just as their songs tell me.
