ALISON! Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I never thought I could be anything worthwhile - anyone who could do something good with their life. Then I found Green Day, and it's finally like you have something to really live for. It gave me something I felt I had to achieve. It made me want to be the best person I could be as cheesy as it sounds.When I love something, I give it everything I have - and quite frankly there isn't really much, if anything that I love more then that band. Every time I see them it acts as a constant reminder of my purpose, of why I should be glad to be alive, and of how lucky I really am. For those two hours or so, I'm remembering what it's like to breathe again - after being surrounded for so long by the notion of existing for the sake of pure existence. ...AND that's all I can articulate at this current time. It's too early my time for anything else really emotional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALISON! Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Three minutes in... "wow.."Five minutes in... "holy shit"Eight minutes in.. "....."You know, I normally don't actually sit around and read everyone else's 'stories' when it comes to this kind of thing - but I'm really glad I read your's.Those three lines, right above this - yeah, they mirror EXACTLY, my own experience when listening to that song for the first time.Everything you wrote afterwards I can relate to more then I think you'd ever know. I may have never been kicked out of home, and I may never have actually experienced a lot of the pain's that you have - but emotionally I bear the same scars. Inside it was killing me. I knew I was better than that. I wanted something more out of my life and I wasn't getting it.Man, I don't even know you and I can tell you that that, right there - I know that. I don't want to go into this too much right here in this thread because the rest of the world might think 'wtf o_O' haha. Just, thank you for letting it off your chest. Even though I know we're not the only ones that have felt this way - it's nice to actually see someone else putting into words everything that's made up my life for the past five years.

ems Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 It's nice reading these stories, I don't know why but it just makes me feel good knowing there are lots of people out there who feel the love for Green Day like I do and feel that they have changed their lives.I don't have any one around me that I feel I can say 'Yeah Green Day changed my life' to and that they'll understand....so it's cool that people on here feel the same I don't really have a specific story - but just generally listening to a Green Day song or just hearing a certain line or lyric can perk my mood up, make me happier and just make me feel like it's ok to be me.

Equus1039 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I used to be one of those people that cared way too much what others thought of me. I was the guy in school who always tried to fit in with everyone even if they were assholes. Afraid of rejection, scared of being ridiculed. I didn't express myself because I was afraid people wouldn't like who I really was. Hell, I didn't even know who I really was.This pretty much describes how I felt. I still feel like I don't fit in a lot, but I always have Green Day to turn to. I used to be self conscious about the music I listened to (I pretty much only listened to Weird Al) and wore clothes and shit from Limited Too (yes, I know I was a dork). Now I just tell people off for dissing the music I listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANJI Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Green Day have changed my taste in music...i really used to hate rock music...but now i love it. They influenced me to learn guitar, changed my clothes style. Whenever i'm upset or down, i listen to green day and they cheer me up. They have taught me how to live. Love them loads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosho Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Sorry to bring this back to life but today i realized how much Green Day changed and affected my life.. Directly and indirectly, firstly i can relate to their music and knowing that there are other people who do makes feel like i am not really alone in this world.. But most importantly the affected my indirectly through people, its because of Green Day i got to meet and know some amazing people, people who care about me and i care about them.. as sad as it sounds this is the first time in my life that i have people in my life that i can relate to.. And today just realized just how amazing these people are.. So have Green Day changed my Life? I would say ABSLOUTELY... And for that i owe them a lot..

mandajane Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 are you kidding me?!?! without green day i dont know for sure if i would be alive today. much less in school and actually doing something with my life. they have taught me to not give a shit what other people say or think about me, to always be myself. and my clothing style has deff been influenced...haha but in a good way. i could talk about how much green day has influenced my life for days....but to sum it up.... without this band....i would not be the person i am today. and i like who i am today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodRiddanceGE Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I owe a lot to Green Day. I can´t exactly say in which kind of way I´m indebted to them. But I´m most assured that without their music I would be a different person today. Their music helped me to accept myself and to be proud of who I am. This is maybe the most important influence they´ve had on my life. They´ve also helped me not to accept things as they are but to remain critical of the world and the people surrounding me.
