This article is the second installment of my on and off, open letter series titled, "You Helped Me Become Me." These articles, meant for someone individuals, groups, or pairs, are to thank the different people who have helped me become the person that I am today.

Music will always be one of those things that that has a heavy impact of how you grow into yourself. For some people, it takes to physical appearance -- to where you may dress the part of the style of music that you listen to the most, or you may just carry yourself in a manner that reflects the genre itself.

Regardless of how it may actually happen, your musical selection will be a part of who you are.

For myself, music has most definitely shaped who I am today.

During my first semester of college, I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression disorders -- which took somewhat of a toll on who I was as a person. There was one day during that spring semester of school when I started looking for music that would calm my nerves and stress and I remembered "Car Radio" by Twenty One Pilots. The song felt so relevant to how I felt at that time, and I knew that I had found an artist I would appreciate more than any artist before.

Over the course of the last two years, I have become so accustomed to their music.

Even though at the time I only knew of their albums: "Twenty One Pilots," "Vessel," and "Blurryface," their music enticed me and, I guess you could say "eased my soul."

It was earlier this year that a good friend of mine educated me on their first album, "Regional at Best," which for myself was a game changer. It was after listening to this album time and time again, that I knew I had found the music that represented the inner workings of how I felt. If you have not heard it, I highly recommend listening to the song "Kitchen Sink," because that song from their first album is quite powerful.

Of course, by now all of my friends are well aware of the excitement I feel when I hear their music on the radio, and how second nature it is for me to belt out the lyrics. So Nathan, if you're reading this, thanks for always signing along with me when we're driving around, and not judging my awful voice.

I think the most captivating experiences I've had involving Twenty One Pilots are the two times I've seen them live in concert.

Both performances actually brought me to tears, which they have been one of two bands to do so; the other being Panic! At the Disco.

But I cannot stress enough how amazing the feeling is when you see your musical idol performing in front of your very eyes. The way Tyler's voice sounds singing the feelings that I find more than expressive of how I feel is a very moving and touching experience in itself. Not to mention the intensity of Josh's demeanor, while he's drumming -- that itself is powerful alone; you can almost feel it in your bones even several sections back.

All in all, there is just something about their music that just makes everything feel alright, even though the lyrics may not lead you to believe so. It's a homey feeling manifested by real emotion and understanding that continues to help you realize that someone out there gets what you are going through. And, I think the only way that I could feel even more moved would be to actually talk to Tyler and Josh and thank them for creating music such as this.
