Because my heart feels like it is going to happily explode into a billion bits
Pete Wentz,
You are my fucking hero, and I am SO glad you are HAPPY and ENGAGED.
Why am I so happy about Pete being happy?
Well, A lot of people don't know about Pete's past.
In case you don't:
READ
You have no idea how much my heart broke when I read that for the first time.
It was like "If Pete couldn't handle it, then the rest of us are definitely fucked."
I know what it's like to have been to the edge and back.
It's a scary fucking place.
To think that he ever had to feel that way has always broken my heart.
It's always scared me to think that he almost died.
I can't hear "Hum Hallelujah" without thinking about it. I can't go to Best Buy without thinking about it.
Fall Out Boy saved my life.
That sounds trite and cliched, but there's nothing I could say with more honesty than that.
I know I sound like a fangirl when I squawk on and on about Pete, but I squawk on and on because the kid is my fucking hero.
Even when his peen made it's way onto the net, I knew it would all blow over and the band and Pete would be okay. Sometimes a scandal like that can ruin a band. Not my boys, nope.
Pete wrote the words to the songs that make my heart beat.
That's why I sing and squeal and smile bigger than you've ever seen before when I'm at a Fall Out Boy show.
To stand on the front row at a Fall Out Boy show and be a few feet away from Pete, to see him smile, to see him happy...that's the best feeling in the world.
If that kid's happy, I'm happy.
Ever since he started dating Ashlee, I've seen nothing but that smile on his face.
I hope he smiles like that forever. He deserves it and everything else the world has to offer.
I'm sitting here listening to "Saturday" on repeat and I can't help but smile like a dorkass.
I can't help but smile as the guitar riff takes over, and I know that if this were a FOB show, Pete would be handing off his bass, wrapping the mic cord around his arm, and jumping down onto the barricade to sing with the crowd. Even when he had a broken foot, the man was unstoppable.
There's a reason my TTTYG CD skips during this song (note the "g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-golden" in the link).
Pete Wentz is my hero, and if I end up to be 1/8th the person he is, I will be happy with what I've done.
Fall Out Boy is my Rushmore.
I'm going to get a Fall Out Boy tattoo. Perhaps it will say that.
Infinite <3
