Oh. My. Fucking. God. Jack fucking Barakat tweeted me. He freaking tweeted me!! I freaked out for such a long time after. It was so hard for me not to freak out in the middle of Pizza Hut when I got a notification saying "@JackAllTimeLow replied to one of your tweets." It was so insane though. Jack is one of my role models and he's one of the people who have helped me overcome my battle with self harm.
The tweet I sent him wasn't even that great of a tweet. It was something simple really that I'm sure isn't the only tweet that he's received like it. I sent it at 6:12 P.M. CST today (June nineteenth). My tweet read: Listening to Monday's #FullFrontal podcast.... can't believe I look up to @AlexAllTimeLow and @JackAllTimeLow
Twenty-two minutes later at 6:34 P.M. CST Jack tweets: @ItsMeEmily6 yeah what's wrong with you
I was not expecting a reply at all. It took me over three hours to finally calm down about the whole thing. The fact Jack has played such a major part in helping me overcome my battle is what made this so special for me.
To some people he's just the guitarist in some band. What does he have to do with anything? But to me he's funny. He's kind. He's a major component of All Time Low. He's someone who helped save many people, myself included. That's why this meant so much when he tweeted me.
