    I was a Starbucks barista taking Justin's order one day. In my mind I thought no way it was him. I said he he looked so familiar and he said I'm from a band called Blue October. I tried so hard not to freak out since his music got me through some depressing times. He was with his daughter so I didnt ask for a picture. He was so calm, humble, and incredibly nice human being.

      I went to a meet and greet at Virgin music store a long time ago. I had my son with me. He was around 2yrs old then. They were all so incredibly nice to us and shook my son's hand. Blue October has got me through so many hard times.

      What kills me about that line is that so often only one of them is actually TRYING at all. They give 150% of everything while the other person gives 50% of some, and the one that gives all is left holding the baggage and the bill. I'm sorry to be a downer here, but if they're both TRYING and TRYING, then they're gonna make it.

Despite her drug and loyalty issues, I will always know what she could have truly been, it's a fucking shame she uses her great intellect in negative ways, my family despises her, friends despise her, so do I.. I just can't let the trash go though, it's fucked and I regret it everyday.. I need to come to a realization I can't fix completely broken.. As far as my ex before her she has a kid and is married and I couldn't be happier for her, I myself was not strong enough for her..

      guys, i have never walked in your shoes but i can tell you this. The worst thing you can do is beat yourself up with your past. You can not keep living in there. Yes, you had good times and yes you were happy with them once, but they have moved on, everybody has moved on and so should you.
      You are strong, you will always be strong, thats why you are still here now, breathing! But the ultimate test of your strength will be to face the challenge to love yourself. Stand up everyday and say I will be better today!
      We go through break-ups because the universe is telling us that somehow, something better will be waiting for us! time heals, so let time
      run its course.
      Always keep your head held high. Tomorrow is a new day.

    My ex was a big Blue October fan. He passed away 6/16/19. We always have had a very deep love for each other and neither of us wanted to split up but he had some addiction issues and I had to leave him since I have kids. My heart broke nine years ago when I left. He struggled with his disease and was in and out of rehab. Paul was my soul mate and even though we separated, he always had my heart. He was kindhearted, generous, loving and protective. The day after he passed away, I begged for some sign from him and this song came on. It was the first time I’d heard it. I know he sent it to me. My daughter heard it with me and she’s the one with the Dr Pepper eyes and I’m the one with the bubble gum pink hair.
    Spirit works in mysterious and wonderful ways.
    Now, I see his face in everything. The sky, shadows, the light shining on the leaves of trees, behind my eyelids when I close my eyes. I dream of him and I wonder how this world still exists without him. I loved him so much. He was my best friend.
    RIP my Love. Until we meet again.

      It was a Saturday night that I married the one woman who I believed was worth swearing those oaths too. She was beautifu, gorgeous, by the way, blow your socks off kinda beautiful! didn't realize just how much I actually fell in love with her until I knew I had already lost her. Then I went full retard. I lost both her and myself before finding my feet again. Was a disaster to say the least. Taught me some hard lessons about myself, and love all on one big bang. I always think of her when I hear this song. I hope she finds someone who loved her at the depth I did. Just in the way she deserves. From the heart, im glad our lives crossed paths. Regardless or the nightmare ending. I hope shes happy too. I can sing it word for word!..just not as good as Justin haha.

He was treating me like garbage and I knew i had to let him go. This song just hit every nail on the head of how I looked at him after. I wished him all the happiness and still had all the memories. He shaped up and changed for me. we got back together and are now married with a son.

    My parents split up when I was 18. I’ll never forget the confusion and the hurt, because we all want to believe our parents are in love. My mom was the one who left, and my dad took it really hard. He was so bitter and depressed for so long but he always said he’d do anything for her. He passed away when I was 19 and my mom sent me this song after he passed and said that a few months before he got sick, they had a long talk and he was himself again, he had forgiven her and himself, and was happy she was with someone new. She told me he sent her this song. I listen to it several times a week and although it makes me cry so hard it feels like it brings me peace. To know he hopes she is truly happy, and now he’s in Heaven watching over us. I feel like it’s his song to me, to really keep me going.

    My daughter was born on March 3rd, 2022. She was born at 10:14 in the morning. The first time I seen those beautiful big blues eyes open and look at me for the first time I will never be the same again. This is one of my lullabies for her that I first sang to her in the hospital at 2 in the morning, trying to soothe her and my heart melted the more I thought of this song and looked at her precious face. I realized she was my saving grace and the thing I needed more in my life to save me from myself and benevolent thoughts. I love you Nevaeh and I promise to keep you as happy as I can make you. That's a father's promise to his first born daughter.

I broke down and told her I was drowning I needed her more than anything that I was breaking.. I’ll never forget what she said... “I’ve tried for 5 years.... I can’t fix you I’m sorry....” and she left.... my heart is broken... but if I’m not what makes her happy anymore I hope she finds her happiness without me... I meant when I told her from day one her happiness was everything to me.. I’ll honor that. So anyone struggle through depression please make it to the next day stay strong we’re going to be alright.

    Blue October was the band that helps me realize that there are people that are just like me. Alone, Depression with the lack of the friend. My therapist actually recommends the band to me. the first song that caught my attention is Into the Ocean than the second was Hate Me but this new song they can it awesome. Blue October keep it going you have Fans.

I cried, as Justin's words became her talking to me. And yes, Turd, I remember that Saturday night. 💖 Grateful for the gift, JF, and Blue October.

    My boyfriend introduced me to blue October about 10 years ago and im so glad he did because to this day Justin's voice gets me through the toughest shit in my life. Even this song, this song is for an ex and its not even vicious its about just moving on and wishing each other well. After I went through a divorce this song came out when I was in the mental stage of "ok, im no longer angry I just hope my ex is ok and I wanna move on" so this song just hit home to me mentally. Justin comes to my town once a year and we go every time (with the exception of covid we missed 2 years of shows but we opted to pay for justins virtual shows). I dont know what it is about this man but he is genuine and so unique.

    I just saw Blue October last night at Jannus Landing in St Petersburg, FL (11.3.2018). Wow!!! They get better and better. I've seen them before - three times to be precise - Justin has come of age. I will always be a fan of Blue October. I fought depression hard in the early 2000s and connected with his/their earlier stuff in the mid to late 2000s. Hopefully life is a journey however and for those of us that struggled to fight through it, there have been so many great moments in life. He brings that thought to life as he makes peace with his past and falls harder for his wife Sarah and his kids. His lyrics tied together with his melodies are haunting. Same thing now that he's finding ways to escape his former self. This song is great. His acoustic version of "hate me" last night left chills. He would only start signing it if we all turned our flashlights on on our phones so he couldn't see the faces in the audiences. I have a new found respect and love for his/their work.

    This song reminds me of my daughter's dad. The LOML. I was young and stupid and I messed up the best thing I ever had. Now he's gone forever, and I will never get the chance to tell him I'm sorry. If I could see his face one more time is give my last breath. I've never felt pain like I did the day he passed. The last thing he said to me was "I love you, I have always loved you. Please take care of our daughter" and then he was gone. God so many times I replay that day and wish I had said more. The shock of the situation had me numb, I couldn't get any words out. I begged him to stay but he needed to go. 💔💔💔

    And I have met the most amazing girl in the world, she has helped me beyond words, with everything. Somebody who really gets, and understands me. Im 37 now, that's how long it took me to find my missing part. Something I didn't believe existed. The world stops spinning for nobody, don't stand still for it

    I never wanted to live out the words in this song, as I have lived the words in other songs they’ve done. 6 months ago I use to be on top of the world, inlove with the most amazing woman ive ever met. Everything just fit like it was meant to be, we had plans, we had a foundation and a future ahead. Saddly we broke up because of me and a mistake I made. I fought for six months and I owned my mistake as a man driving 3 hrs to meet up with her and tell her everything as I always did. And in the end she left it all to chance, to God giving her a sign. I stood by her and gave her love and in the end she got tired of waiting (I was the one waiting for her) and its all over. One mistake cost me the woman of my life. We were supposed to get married next year and ive been doing my best to keep my head up. But ive broken down so much lately and I ended up here today. Life takes people away in a blink of an eye, if you love someone, make peace with them, fix things with them. Cause you never know when it all can be taken away. Its been hell, but this song makes me emotional in a good way.

Bitter sweet...

    But I hoped she will be happy.
    Justin started recognizing and looked me right in my eyes, pointed at me and told me/said "I hope you're happy."
    I will never forget that.
    I'm so thankful he helped me through this.

He was such a troubled soul, the one that was impossible not to love and i mean crazy love...he got into some trouble a few days before Valentine's day. Committed suicide in his jail cell the same night he was booked. His father also lost to suicide....
