A Response to Gerard Way's Letter: The Idea, the Concept, and the Emotion

I'm crying... you made me understand everything about Gerard's letter.
I never understood the 'it's not a band, it's an idea' thing. But now I realize that... it's love. It never was just a fucking band. It was love.
I don't want My Chem to come back. They delivered the message, they said everything that needed to be said. The band died so that something could rise out of its ashes; so that we could rise out of its ashes. This is about letting them live their lives, because they taught us how to live ours. They taught us all how to survive.
My Chemical Romance is love. It's briliant. And it can never fucking die.
It's okay to be sad about the breakup. Gerard knows that we're strong enough to go without it, because the guys said everything they ever needed to say through their music. The band gave us everything we need to survive. The band taught us how.
Some people can't and won't survive, because they don't understand the message that's just hidden beneath the surface.
There doesn't need to be any more confusion about the band.Gerard's letter explains everything.

Keep running, killjoys.

I'm so sorry. I've been avoiding this for a while because I was one of those fans who didn't want to accept the truth. Right now I don't think I have the strength to finish it because, right now, I am a sobbing mess. Of course I always knew the band would come to an end. But for me, it was way too soon. Being a new addition to the MCR family, I was devastated when not soon after the band split. I know I have videos I can watch of them live, but I really just wanted to see the people that change my view of the world and how I see things today. Even if I never got to meet them, just to see them in concert and hear Gerard give an eloquent speech, my confidence would skyrocket. Just to be there where I would feel accepted and loved. I will always support the four men for what they did in this ugly world.

wow. well I know I may be becoming a little stalkerish posting on all of your stories but, I read this and it just clarified so many things. unfortunately it didn't make me feel better about their break up. ( iv'e been depressed about it forever) I know that it probably wasn't your purpose but it did bring "closure". God, it sounds like I'm talking about a bad break up doesn't it? just keep writing. I'll buy all of your books and be the president of your fan club someday. :)

I love this so much. Could I post it on my blog, full credit given? This was amazing and exactly how I felt. You disected the letter. It's beautifully deppressing.

@PanicAttackToro Oh, okay XD
