Have you, uh, have you guys ever listened to From First To Last? Because uh, his happiness is not so eternal.

Also being adopted doesn’t make your life bad, and getting relatively famous at sixteen makes it pretty awesome. He’s twenty-three and hugely successful, so uh

I’d say his life has been the opposite of tough.

I don’t understand this at all.

A tough life in America is not having millionaire parents and everything provided for you. WHAT A HERO.

Okay, so I don’t ever reblog stuff on this blog. Especially not my own pictures, but this made me hekka mad… I just have to say what’s on my mind.

Sonny grew up knowing his entire biological family, but knowing them as friends, having no idea they were related to him. 
He was only 16 when he found out he was adopted and he’d known his biological family his whole life.
He was sent to boarding school.
He said in an interview he grew up in an area where the only real socializing he did was going to gigs, music was all he had.
He’s struggled with bulimia.
He’s struggled with self-harm.
He’s struggled with depression.
He’s struggled with self-hatred.
He’s  still in a battle with himself over low self-esteem, low confidence and a negative self-image, which he’s trying to overcome.
He’s been through shit with record labels.
He had to make a name for himself all over again after leaving FFTL, with no help from his label.
As soon as he made a name for himself, his label found a loop-hole to get him back, doing what he didn’t want to do.
He’s had albums and songs he’d spent a lot of time on stolen from him.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The fact that he still puts so much into what he does, he still cares about his fans so much, he still has a huge smile on his faceevery fucking day, he still manages to love his life, love what he does, have no bitterness, personally I think it’s pretty fucking amazing.

So don’t sit there saying he has it easy. Until you’ve lived life in his footsteps, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

/End rant.
