00:00:02.291 --> 00:00:05.458
(hardcore rock music)

00:00:07.069 --> 00:00:08.695
- I listened to sad music on the bus

00:00:08.695 --> 00:00:11.328
hoping that it would make me
cry and someone might see me.

00:00:11.328 --> 00:00:15.495
- When I was 14, I used to
dye my hair with Kool-Aid.

00:00:19.155 --> 00:00:21.562
- I was the emo kid.

00:00:21.562 --> 00:00:22.758
Every Spirit Day at school

00:00:22.758 --> 00:00:25.993
was my favorite excuse to wear eyeliner.

00:00:25.993 --> 00:00:29.197
- I once Tweeted, "We're
all islands shouting lies

00:00:29.197 --> 00:00:33.169
"to each other across
seas of misunderstanding."

00:00:33.169 --> 00:00:36.669
- I think all good books have sad endings.

00:00:41.657 --> 00:00:43.109
- I was the emo kid.

00:00:43.109 --> 00:00:46.776
I wrote sad poetry every
day in high school.

00:00:48.853 --> 00:00:51.739
- I wrote a LiveJournal
post after every break-up.

00:00:51.739 --> 00:00:53.095
- As a kid I used to watch

00:00:53.095 --> 00:00:56.512
The Nightmare Before Christmas on repeat.

00:00:59.754 --> 00:01:01.442
I was the emo kid.

00:01:01.442 --> 00:01:02.825
People used to judge me for my crazy hair,

00:01:02.825 --> 00:01:04.325
and they still do.

00:01:05.206 --> 00:01:07.789
(birds cawing)

00:01:14.858 --> 00:01:17.272

(sign squeaks)
