to @tylerrjoseph, from the heart.

please take care of yourself. we understand what you& #39;re saying. we understand what you& #39;re going through and have gone through. many of your fans including myself have dealt with intense mental anguish—your music has helped when it comes to that.

but we—with nowhere near the power that you have—understand how much just a few posts can do. we see these tragedies, and they& #39;re overwhelming, but it doesn& #39;t stop us from doing the right thing. it doesn& #39;t stop us from taking a stand. imagine what your stand could mean.

*that* is the point. it& #39;s not even putting others first—it& #39;s simply considering them. i have to question your intentions when you immediately swerve to the mental health conversation when countless mentally ill people have been protesting and donating, etc. for months.

to make a joke out of your silence on tangible suffering then revert back to "i& #39;m a mental health advocate though and asking me to tweet just like i am doing right now but not about my own issues is too heavy for me" is a slap in the face to everyone like you who& #39;s done it anyway

i really don& #39;t know what else to say. i don& #39;t doubt that you care about these issues. you can& #39;t fix everything, no one can. this year has been a whole lot for all of us. but it& #39;s also brought many of us together. i hope you understand why we& #39;re hurt by this. i wish you would join
