The likeliness of the guys of 3DG reading this is probably slim, but I know I'll never meet them. So I hope you guys do read this, I think it's something you all should know.
For me, the One-X album wasn't just an album. It was the one, and only thing in my life that made me feel like I wasn't alone. At the time the album came out, I was in a dark place.
I had no friends to talk to, my parents were either not in the picture, or more concerned with shoving pills down my throat rather then listening to what I was trying to tell them. I had tried to get rid of all the anger and pain by writing how I felt down, but my Mom took my journal and gave it to the doctors.
After that, I stopped writing. And the things I was writing about doing, the things that scared my Mom, the things I wasn't actually going to do, became reality. I started cutting myself, and attempted suicide quite a few times. I was spiraling downward,and for awhile there, it seemed like I'd never stop until I finally destroyed myself.
But then I heard Animal I Have Become, and I knew. I needed that album. And once I finally got it, I discovered I was right. Every time I felt the depression start to creep on me again, or when it felt like my anger was at it's breaking point, I'd pop in One-X. And in just a few moments, I felt calm again. I felt that I wasn't the only one spiraling, and that there is hope.
Eventually, I ended up going through my own kind of rehab. But it was One-X that saved my life. If I hadn't of had that album, I would have never made it to the place that helped me.
So Thank You Guys. You will forever have a fan with me. Your music is so much more then songs to rock out to. It means something. And it's proof of how powerful music can be.
