sorting through my notes and dont know what made me write this prophecy of a thought down back then. i think the hand tattoo 😭
i’ll just leave this here LMAO
when i heard the guitar in balloons, it brought me back to switchfoot’s ‘meant to live’ (see vid!)
they’re obvi very different songs, but ‘meant to live’ coincidentally beautifully captures ian’s journey, message, everything he’s fought for & overcome - im so proud of him 🥺!!!
“And I just wanna say if anyone is going through hard times, if anyone is struggling and you know, want try to find some type of hope in their life when they think everything is going wrong, don’t worry you’re not alone, you’re not alone and as I would say there’s always gonna be so many ups and downs, and there’s always gonna be so many moments where you think “this is it”, but I promise you, I promise you, if you just hold on a little longer, just a little longer, you don’t even have to have a reason why, you don’t even have to have a reason why, I promise if you hold on a little longer everything will get better, I promise, okay? And you’ll always have an angel, you’ll always have beautiful people, and the people that love you will always be there for you, okay? And I just wanted to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart”
god WHY is he so specific 😭😭 like his words genuinely be attacking u.
and “let’s figure it out” LOVEE
call it a stretch but bro might really be saving lives out there im in tears
wishing him all the best always ❤️❤️
"There is a reason why you have to keep holding on. Even if it doesn't make any sense. Even if there's no rationality. Even if your body is like 'fuck it, just end it'. Even if it says that, there is a good reason why you are holding on the way you are."
