With the release of our video "Hold On" we wanted to write a note to tell you how much this video means to us and how important life is.
We have lost some close friends to suicide and it has affected just about everyone we know. Everyday we read letters from fans saying that the stress of life, the pressure with family, and losing love is too much to bear. We want to say that you may feel alone but you are not. So many have gone through the same thing and reaching out is a sign of strength not weakness. Life will get better and life is worth living even if it seems unbearable right now. It's our goal that this video gives hope to our fans that have reached out to us, and maybe it will reach some who don't know us. Even if it is just one person, if it makes a difference in their life it was worth the time, effort, and money it took to make. Life is not something we feel anyone should give up on.
Once again we will always thank our fans for being a part of this and making this happen, thanks for giving us a chance -- Joel Madden.
***thats all copied offa an email i got from the GC stuff goin on.. :) i love joel. he makes so much sense. like..just b/c good charlotte got all popular with mtv and everyone just HAS to like em cuz its "the cool band" to like at the time..doesnt mean theyre fuckin posers..yeah they may have a changed a bit from being not popular to popular..most people do change a lil when that happens..theyre still the same in my eyes. anywho! the point of this entry i guess was just like totally agreeing with what he wrote..the song "hold on" off their album..its like one of my favorites..i listen to it all the time. but hes right..just becasue a couple things may seem so horrible bad at the time..doesnt mean it wont get better in a certain amount of time..you just have to be patient. dont think your the only one who like feels the pain your feeling..your not. i think at some point or another everyone has all the feelings of hurt and anger and hate at the same time and just wanna die, want everyone who hurt u to rot in hell..(sounds horrible i kno! >_<) but..thats not how it works. it breaks my heart when people think its a way out..its not..it ruins so many other peoples lives that know you and just your parents and family and friends..omg..i couldnt even imagine it. yeah ill admit i cut my ARM..not wrist once or twice..only...but i honest to god wasnt looking for a way out..thats not the only reason ppl cut themselves. its like..when u cry so much and u cant stop..u just want some other sort of pain to take away from your heart hurting so bad you kno? i guess if youve never felt it..you wouldnt understand..makes alotta sense to me tho. ANYWAYS! this was depressing.. but it guess its just venting in a way..im out tho! im gonna bust my bootie to hit lvl 11 w/ my character in FFXI NOW!!! YAY :D
