well...

as hard as it is for me to say this the words burn my toung and typing this makes my fingers want to catch on fire, they must be said.

DriveA is no more </3  you know the guys I've looked up to for over a year now, the guys who made me Love music the way i do now, the guy's who gave me my happiness in myself back? yeah those guys they broke up a few day's ago... yes i know people move on grow up per say and yes i know it's not the end of the world and they're not dead but i just can't get over this.

first time i actually felt important

 with jason after seeing driveA for the first time, i felt so important running around with my clip bord asking for emails haha

 they stoood out in the rain to talk to me<3

taylor meet taylor the panda...

thank you guy's for bringing me and my dad closer together thank you for helping me make him proud and thank you for making me love myself again.

you were and ARE my salvation, the day Jason got me into edbd (earth day birthday) changed my life he taught me that i could do anything i wanted if i put my mind to it.  he showed my dad my life the way i see things he showed him what i was capable of. he's the one that made me choose photography. i felt so alive in the crowd watching them play, i felt so infinite behind my lense capturing the moment showing people that punks not dead. punk Will never be dead. although driveA is over i will always remember how much they helped me in life and how much they're music meant to me and everyone else that supported them. i know that they'll get new bands, new music, new shows, new tours, new songs, new people. i know I'll see Taylor Bruno Jason Robert and Cody again. I'll support them in anything and everything because they supported me thanks for everything driveA goodbye~ chyster
