Jon, BMF, and therapy
-
When I tell y'all I was rushing home to get on the computer to talk to my internet friends...
But its been a busy day that just ended with my weekly therapy appointment, that presented itself with a first chance for me to really verbalize what Jons music and this forum has meant to me since it launched. I didn't really think I'd mention BMF in therapy, but she asked "And how has your sleep schedule been?" And I gave a chuckle (a la JB's laugh that we hear in a few songs) and said "its wrecked." In order to explain the forum, I had to explain Jon's music- how it found me and what it got me through.
I talked about how this forum has healed something in me. As a child of the internet pioneer days, I lived on forums- the chat rooms, the blogs/journals, two mass message boards... and honestly I've been chasing that high of community for the past decade. I shared that its tough being a "fan" of music that no one else IRL appreciates, let alone has heard about, and despite my best attempts at converting friends, not everyone "gets it." The forum scratches the brain itch of nostalgia and has literally given me (and so many of you) an outlet to discuss and connect over music that saved so many of us in different ways.
For the past decade, I've wanted to thank Jon for making the music, and now I want to thank him for bringing us all together. @User12261990 before even dropping the album, you gave us community and I think that's really dope. Thank you.

@OverwhelmMe Jon’s music has helped me with my depression and mental health. I go to therapy as well. I told my therapist about this forum and she told me that this is good for me bc it would help me get out of my comfort zone and help me to not be as shy. I’m a very shy person outside of the internet.

@OverwhelmMe I absolutely love this, this is an amazing post
️ For me, BMF finally disconnected me from the unhealthy grip traditional social media like Instagram has had on me. Mindless doomscrolling and insecurity now replaced with true connection and friendship! I’ve loved connecting with all of you, I hope this forum stays up longggg after the new album drops! I’ll never need any other social platform again!What’s an Italian pharaoh… born from a stallion’s marrow…

@OverwhelmMe such an amazing post! Wish I could upvote 20 times just on this! I appreciate your vulnerability. This has been a true blessing for me too. I’ve enjoyed the community, and I can’t wait for all of us to meet at this concert! This forum has been a breathe of life, and I also laughed so hard at the sleep schedule being wrecked. So true
thanks again for being open and honest 
excited to see what BMF continues to bring!They say we annoying, they just jealous 'cause we got love

@Amariez10585 That's so great that you were also able to share with your therapist about the forum. And even better that so far this community has been really welcoming and supportive. Here's hoping that we all get a chance to meet!

I’ll never need any other social platform again!@Isaac I fully agree, I have been on IG and Tiktok so much less since this forum got up and running. I could possssssibly not be on it as much just since here I am on an incognito tab at work lol. But it feels healthier and more conversational, like chatting with friends.
I do hope the forum stays up long after the album drops. I don't even need it to have fancy updates. Just a search feature and more upvotes. But I hope its not a lot for the team to keep up. In the event that he does take it down, my hope is we get advance notice so we can organize elsewhere- the discords already are taking off.

@OverwhelmMe can you be my lawyer against @Zeonder hes slandering me
@GabbyW0205 @OverwhelmMe i advise you greatly to not take on this client, she’s a door hogger but that’s besides the point. Really the nitty gritty is she has a pretty convincing photo that I hacked her, but I’m telling you the eyes look nothing like mine and she’s the one slandering me here!!!! I’d advice against taking on such a hooligan, especially a soon to be doorless hooligan

Being vulnerable feels a bit easy/safe here. One because no real names are shared lol, but mostly because everyone is just supportive and receptive.But am I right or am I right- how many of us have stayed up later just to browse the threads?! lol

@OverwhelmMe “its tough being a "fan" of music that no one else IRL appreciates, let alone has heard about, and despite my best attempts at converting friends, not everyone "gets it." Oh my gosh you verbalised exactly how I’ve felt about Jon. I got one of my best friends into his music industry high school so I can talk to him about it but no one else really. If it were another silly artiste I wouldn’t care but Jon’s music has saved me when I was in some of the most difficult periods of my life and wherever people ask for my music taste he’s one of the top 3 I start with. I’m glad you could discuss it in therapy. I might too.
Although I guess if I knew tomorrow
I guess I wouldn't need faith
I guess if I never fell, I guess I wouldn't need grace
I guess if I knew His plans, I guess He wouldn't be God, God, God
