"Can I be honest with you for a second? I've never wanted anything more than this in my entire life. You see we fight day in and day out against all odds in hopes to attain that level of success that we crave so badly. To live our wildest dreams in a world so filled to the brim with skepticism that we sometimes have to scratch and claw for that light of optimism that keeps us going. So we can know how it feels to truly fly high. And we refuse to be consumed by our surrounding; No matter how evil they may be. And it confounds me how much evil there is out there in today's world. And so much of it dedicated for the sake of being fake or fooling others just so they can get by. Now, don't get me wrong. I am not a perfect person. In fact, that word makes me sick. Perfection? A word thrown around like pennies to the fountain floor. And we soak up that scumb like a flithy sponge. Well, allow me to introduce myself. I am NOT perfect. I am sick slinging sins and sipping on false confidence. Insatiable. I am stubborn, unnervingly persistent, and foolishly fishing for compliments to cope with my self-doubt. Now let me ask you this: who the HELL wants to be perfect? I am proud of my flaws and I will wear them like a badge of honour on my shirt. I am good. I am evil. I am solace. I am chaos. I AM HUMAN. And that is all I have ever wanted to be. I know who I am. Now who are you?"

I can't breathe. I love set it off. I love how they used the lyrics i am goos i am evil i am souls i am chaos i am human and that all i ever wanted to be... Perfect is to be without flaw, therefore impossible because everyone thinks something different is a flaw, be it too smart, too dumb, too pretty, too ugly, too fake, etc. Therefore it is impossible to strive for something that cannot exist.

How did I never know about this. This is something I needed and I never knew it was there. I felt his words chill me to the bone, his voice moving me to find myself and realize that wanting to be "perfect" is a sick and twisted lie we tell ourselves everyday. Don't be perfect. Be like Cody, be human. Because that is all we should ever WANT to be.

This. I really fucking needed this. For so long, I've been striving to be perfect little miss straight A student. Someone everyone will love, to discard my flaws so people will like me. But that's not who I am. I'm a strange, ADHD ginger with the stupidest facts and worst memory. I'm the one who uses a ball of wax as a stress ball, I'm the one who's overly talkative in class and shares so much. I'm the one who can't sit still to save my life. I'M JUST AN AWKWARD FRESHMAN LIVING HER LIFE. I DON'T WANT TO BE PERFECT ANYMORE. I WANT TO BE CRAZY, WEIRD, AND SOMETIMES ANNOYING. FUCK PERFECTION, WHO WANTS TO BE PERFECT?? I SURE AS HELL DON'T.

That gave me chills. It was also really cool because the last time I saw Set It Off Cody and I actually talked about the word perfect and how it wasn't real. It was pretty awesome. I really wish I was seeing them when they hit Portland again, but they're hitting the same night as another show that I got tickets to before I knew what date they'd be back. So I'm going to have to wait another tour, but waiting is worth it to see them again, they're an amazing band.

I haven't had any self-confidence or motivation,or even happiness these past 2 weeks...so to find this...I'm beyond grateful. This inspires me to keep pushing through every day,no matter how shitty it is. This gives me confidence and teaches me again,to accept my flaws and be proud they are mine. I haven't had too much self-esteem over the past few days,but this...restores it! I've been needing hope again,ABD I've found it in this. life can kick my ass,And throw me to the ground,but I'm not quitting. I've been wanting to just quit ABD throw the towel in over the last 5 days...but I had a feeling in my gut,that was telling,I'd find something good,to motivate me again... Thank God I've found this. SET IT OFF. MY BUGGEST INSPIRATIONS TO JUST BREATHE ABD SIMPLY LIVE EACH DAY. SET IT OFF...my heroes who make me smile,when days are dark... I'd be lost without u guys... thank you.
