"My
life was awful, I was fat, pretty ugly and had awful hair. I
used to get teased every fuc.king day. Slammed up against lockers,
punched in the face, you name it. Hell, I had to go to prom
with one of my female friends because I couldn't get a
proper date, I can't even look back at those photos because
I look so bad, I transfered schools, but the teasing just got
worse. After a lets say "Incident" I had with the
school play the bullying just got worse. But I made it through
highschool only to find out real life was pretty much the same.
I stayed in my dark room all day, I didn't talk to anyone,
I didn't go outside. I just stayed inside and drew. I'd
draw vampires, mummies, heros, villans. Anything to help me
escape all the bad in the world I went to art school and
didn't really belong. All I could draw was comic book
characters. I tried to put my only good talent to use, by
drawing a cartoon and pitching it. Only to have it turned down.
Life to me was just pointless. I started drinking, doing drugs,
and generally wasting my life drawing.
Then one day
I saw bodies falling from the sky, I wittnesed people dying.
That's when I decided to turn my life around. I called up
anyone I knew who had an instument and we formed a band. Being
on tour for the first two years was bad. All we'd do is get
drunk and do drugs, but I loved it, because I was doing
something I loved, with people I loved A few years ago I met
the most perfect women ever It's like we share a wavelink
or something. She just knows me without even knowing me, if you
understand. And now 2011, I have a beautiful baby girl, A
caring wife and I get to preform for my adoring fans every
day.
I am living proof that no
matter how bad life gets, it gets better
I
m Gerard Way, and I
survived."
This is one of the many reasons I
love My Chemical Romance ♥
