A tip for those still in highschool:

Don't spend the highlights of your highschool experience with people that will dampen those memories. Please select the people in your life carefully, more so than I did, so that you can look back on those memories and smile. Differentiate who stuck with you through the hard times, who values your honesty, who tells you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear, who brings you closer to Christ, who is loyal to you no matter what, who never talks shit about you, who believes in self improvement, who sees how much you care and appreciates you for it, who has their priorities straight, who reminds you what you're worth even when you forget... and who is all talk.

Coming from someone who is deathly afraid of being alone, it is always better to be on your own than to be surrounded by liars and manipulators and fake "I love you"s.

Because you are who you hang out with. Everything you hate about them is what you will become. And even after you come to your senses, discover your worth and emerge from the waves of half truths you were trapped under, because of the time already spent with them, their stench will remain.

And it will drive you mad.

Pray for discernment, my friends. There are few wounds in life as painful as betrayal.

The songs that vent about toxic people that you've cut out of your life? The lyrics that express how little you care for the ex, friend, parent, etc that screwed you over? Those songs hurt to sing. They hurt because...

You may be apathetic towards that person now, but you once cared so, so much... and look where it got you. Look how much your emotion towards that person was respected. It's a funeral march for what you loved and lost.

Never push a loyal person to the point where they don't care for you anymore.

Shout out to all the people whose friends have made them feel guilty for being themselves. Shout out to all the people who have no support. To all the people doing it alone, outcasted, misfitted where you should belong, surrounded by hate. You guys are troopers. You're doing amazing. And if no one else is, I'm proud of you🖤

I was just enjoying some QBomb and looked down to realize the song I was listening to only had SEVEN THOUSAND VIEWS ON YOUTUBE. LIKE WHAT. THEY'RE SO GOOD. HOW IS IT NOT IN THE MILLIONS.

So this is my official public service announcement to go check em out and enjoy some good alt rock. If you like rock music with punk vibes but a new and clean sound, QBomb is for you. Specifically their album HyperPunk is KILLER.

Here's some song recs:

Feel worthless but also angry at the crappy people in your life?

Poison Pop

Wanna revenge but also are sick of the pollution in the environment?

Building A Giant Robot Out Of Trash

Have you had enough and don't wanna live anymore cause you feel like trash but... like... in a punk way?

Overkiller

Are you sick of not being able to get therapy and people being fake asf?

Everything Is Fine

Have toxic parents or people generally trying to control you?

Crackershock

Do you wish the world would end and you could just be done with it all?
