Heartbreak and Heavy Metal

Written by Loretta on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there, diary!

I've been feeling kinda down lately. You know how it is when your heart feels like it's been stomped on by a herd of wild rhinos. Yeah, that's me right now. I guess you could say I'm going through some serious heartbreak and heavy metal seems to be the only thing keeping me sane.

Love Bites

So here's the dealio - this guy named Jake came into my life a few months back. Tall, dark hair, tattoos for days... he was like the embodiment of all my punk rock fantasies rolled into one sexy package. We hit it off instantly at our favorite dive bar where we bonded over mosh pits and headbanging anthems.

But as they say, love bites harder than any pit can ever throw you around.

A Punk Rock Romance Turned Sour

Everything seemed perfect at first; we'd spend hours talking about music and sharing crazy stories from our rebellious pasts. It felt like we were two misfits who finally found each other in this chaotic world.

But then things started to unravel faster than a mosh pit during a breakdown riff. Arguments became more frequent, misunderstandings piled up higher than my collection of band t-shirts and suddenly everything just fell apart.

The Aftermath: Broken Hearts & Shattered Dreams

Now here I am with a broken heart and shattered dreams lying on the floor next to discarded guitar picks and torn concert tickets – remnants of what used to be our shared passion for music. It hurts so damn much knowing that someone you cared about deeply has become nothing but another sad song playing on repeat in your mind…

And let me tell ya diary, these emotions are intense! One minute I feel anger coursing through my veins like an electric guitar solo gone rogue; the next minute tears flow down my face softer than an acoustic ballad serenading lost souls in need of healing.

The Healing Power of Heavy Metal

But amidst the chaos and heartache, there is one thing that has always been my constant companion – heavy metal. It's like a comforting blanket wrapped around my soul, reminding me that I'm not alone in this journey of pain and self-discovery.

Whenever I feel overwhelmed by negative thoughts or drowning in a sea of sadness, all it takes is cranking up those speakers to maximum volume and letting the driving guitars and thundering drums wash over me like a tidal wave of catharsis. It's as if every scream, every riff carries away some piece of the hurt within me.

Mosh Pits & Cathartic Release

There's something magical about being surrounded by fellow headbangers in a mosh pit. As bodies collide and sweat drips from our foreheads, we become part of something bigger than ourselves. There are no judgments here; just unity through music.

In those moments when adrenaline pumps through your veins faster than an amped-up double bass pedal, you forget about heartbreaks and lost love. You're too busy screaming lyrics into the abyss while throwing yourself against strangers who share your passion for raw energy unleashed on stage. It’s pure blissful madness!

A Supportive Tribe: Punk Rock Family

Being part of the punk rock scene isn't just about loud music and rebellious attitudes; it's also finding solace in a community that understands you even without exchanging words. Whether it’s at gigs or hanging out with friends at our favorite dive bar (yes diary - they still let us back despite everything), these people have become my second family – misfits bound together by their love for distorted guitar riffs and anarchic anthems.

We support each other through thick mohawks or thin eyeliner lines because we know what it feels like to be misunderstood outsiders looking for acceptance beyond societal norms. And let me tell ya diary, these punks have my back like nobody else.

Moving On & Rising Up

So yeah, heartbreak sucks. It really does. But you know what? I refuse to let it define me or hold me down. I may be a lone wolf who swallows people whole (figuratively speaking of course), but deep inside this punk rock exterior beats a soft heart that refuses to give up on love and happiness.

Sure, it's gonna take time for the wounds to heal and scars to fade. But in the meantime, I'll keep blasting those heavy metal anthems because they remind me that pain doesn't last forever – just like the wicked guitar solos that pierce through my speakers.

And who knows diary? Maybe one day I'll find someone who shares not only my taste in music but also understands the intricacies of my crass jokes and protective nature. Until then, mosh pits will be my therapy sessions and metal bands will be the friends who never let me down.

Stay loud, Loretta
