#happy fifth birthday mania 💜

[heartbreakfeelsogood]

mania told us it’s okay to be different. in fact, we can find our own community, our own family, by being our authentic self. mania experimented with new sounds, new concepts, new ideas, and despite what a lot of people have to say about it, it showed how far fall out boy has come. after all, it’s their only grammy nominated album.

mania told us there’s hope on the other side. it gave us lyrics of hope, possibility, and potential. it showed us, the people willing to stick around, that a band full of people who have struggled are okay now. that pete wentz, who tried to kill himself, is okay now. he’s glad he’s alive now. we can be okay too. it’s going to be okay.

mania told us there’s no need to hold ourselves back. we should be ourselves. we should love hard. we shouldn’t let other people define us. it is an album filled with motivation and love from a band who never stopped trying and never stopped loving. they love us, and don’t ever want us to stop loving.

it’s all there. it’s in the lyrics. it’s in the music. it’s in the work and dedication that was put into the album.
