#we all got into this new streetlight album pretty heavily. i suggested we go see them live. then B and i started dating

[uiruu]

jesus... Streetlight Manifesto's The Hands that Thieve is 10 years old this year... that's weird to think about. that was such a formative moment for me. i was a junior in high school and had been into Streetlight for years, but the release of this album was huge. i got a bunch of friends together and we drove down to rhode island (we live in new hampshire) to see them play live, and we sang all the words to every single song. that was the first real concert i had been to

i saw them live three times after that too, over the years. in college, i wore a streetlight manifesto shirt (actually toh kay, but that's beside the point) and another kid in the class commented on it, and we became friends. eventually we started dating and we're still together. that was 7 and a half years ago

#it was so formative that i just copied and pasted this and posted it on facebook. i havent really posted on facebook in years #but i know connor and liam might see it #i went to that first concert with those two and my girlfriend at the time and one of her friends #well... initially it was a girl i merely had a crush on and one of her friends. except the roles were reversed #between the time of buying the tickets and going to the concert... me and the friend of the girl i had a crush on started dating #she was my first significant other. it was weird then to go with her and her friend (who i initially invited because i had a crush on her) #did i explain that well enough? let's call them K and B. i asked out K and she said no lol. months pass #we all got into this new streetlight album pretty heavily. i suggested we go see them live. then B and i started dating #was it weird that K was still going then after that? idk lol. we havent kept in touch since high school. wonder where she is now #B and i had a pretty awful horrible breakup a year or two later for unrelated reasons. it was always a pretty bad relationship. #it is weird though that 2 of the 3 significant others that i've had have basically been because of streetlight manifesto lol #it's just that one was a bad relationship and the other is very strong and has lasted for 7 years. going on 8. #streetlight has kinda been the backdrop to a lot of things that happened in my life lol #and to think... somewhere in the between is just way better hahaha. hands that thieve is good but lets be honest here #personal #long post
