Dear Marianas Trench.

So, these last few days have been shitty.

I’ve considered suicide I don’t know how many times.

But I’ve been listening to Masterpiece Theatre on repeat and watching some of your YouTube videos, and I’m feeling a bit better.

I’m not saying that my depression has gone away, and I’m not saying I’m still not tempted to run upstairs and pop the lid off of the bottle of Benadryl I’ve been hiding in my dresser drawer for weeks… but I AM saying that at least, for now.. I’m still here.

So thank you.

Dear Mtrench,
Your music helps me get through the tough times in life and i would like to say thanks. You guys have no idea how much it means. You guys are my role models, and i know josh tweeted that we should look at our parents as role models and i do, but you guys are my role models because you always stay true to your music and your not douche bags. :) So thanks,

You guys have been such a great inspiration to me to keep trying my best even when my day has been shitty. I love your music, and the harmony you guys always have melts my heart every time you sing. You guys have worked so hard to get to this point and us trenchers are so happy for you. Keep up the uberly awesome work in your amazing albums. :)

Dear Marianas Trench,

I know you probably get this a lot, but I seriously freaking LOVE you guys. You really are an inspiration. Josh, if it weren’t for you, I would probably be doing drugs and making the wrong choice. Thanks to you, I was steered away from that path of destruction. Every time I hear your music I get butterflies. There are no amount of words in this entire existence to tell you how much I absolutely love you all. 
It would mean the word to me to meet you in person. Unfortunately, I live in Montana, so it’s a little hard. I do everything in my power and pretty much bust my butt to promote you and I enjoy every second of it. My dream/life goal is to meet you. And my other dream/life goal is to spend an entire day with you. A lot of people tell me that’s never going to happen because of my location. But I slap them like a bitch and watch as they take it like a whore, JUST KIDDING. But I do tell them that it IS possible. Anything is possible, except slamming revolving doors…anyways. Please, please contact me. Over twitter ( http://twitter.com/WrittenInSong ) or over my street team ( marianastrench.fancorps.com/WrittenInSong ) it would mean so much to me.

Again, you mean the world to me and I absolutely LOVE it. 

From a very dedicated fan,
Dusty

Today would have been suckish, if not for you. I have a cold, and I’ve been laying in bed all day, watching your interviews and listening to your music.. I’m actually hurting more from laughing so hard, instead of from coughing so much. So thanks for that.

I just wanted to tell you, You guys can take literally any situation I’m in, and make it feel less painful. So thank you a billion times over..

I’m going to watch more videos. I love you.

Hi guys. Just to let you know… You’re amazing. Now i know you get that alot, but i’m not just talking about you’re music. You’re amazing people!

Thank you….. For everything. You’re music has helped me so much! when im feeling really bad about myself or im feeling depressed my automatic reaction is to go into my room, look the door, turn off the light and blast you’re music. And if that doesn’t work i’ll watch you’re videos/interviews and they always make me laugh and feel better.. So thank you!

Thank you for being who you are and not having fame change you, thank you for putting up with you’re crazy trenchtacular fans, thank you for being amazing people, thank you for being hilarious, and thank you for saving lives.

i know that last part is hard to belive but its true. You’re music HAS saved lives. i know a couple of people that would be dead right now if it wasn’t for you guys. So thank you.

Oh and Matt, Bad girl and Cinnamon are amazing! lots of people are saying that there not good but i’d bet money on the fact that if someone like justin beiber did the exact same song it’d be way more famous but in all honesty you are way better that stupid justin beiber!

ok this letter is getting to be really long and theres so much more that i want to say and hopefully i will get to say them to you guys face to face soon! (hopefully, if you do more local shows!)

so for now thank you for reading this! (if you ever do read this)

all my love

Dear Ian,
Please adopt me. Seriously. You’re one quality man and I would be a fabulous daughter.

Fantastic idea this is! :)

 Marianas Trench means the world to me, they have changed my life. I have never loved a band like I love this one, the love I feel for them is unexplainable. They have really made my life better. When I first heard their music I was immediately inspired, I taught myself how to play guitar, and I have been writing songs. I can thank them for that. 
 
   This past year or so I have struggled with my weight, to the point where I have attempted to do something drastic about it. I’m not overweight but when I eat something un-healthy I feel the need to force myself to throw up, and when I feel that urge I just drown it out with their music. Without it, I would be in a dark place right now. 
 
   I have been a fan for years, I have seen them like 3 times and they never cease to make me laugh my ass off. I have made amazing friends because of them, found something I loved to do, and they saved me. 
 
If you boys ever see this I want to let you know I love your pure ridiculousness, I love the way you stay true to yourselves, and the way you always surprise me with how talented you four boys are, and I want you to know I will never stop supporting you. 
 
Dear, Ian, Josh, Matt, and Mike, thank you for everything. 
 
Love Megan B.  

Sent my letter to Mike last night, figured it’d only be fair to send you one today. I’m slowly begining to realize that nobody actualy gives a flying fuck about anything I say. But, that won’t stop me from writing these stupid letters anyway.. They’re helping keep me from going insane. Jake(my boyfriend that dumped me yesterday) asked me out again today, so that was great.

On a down-side, my best friend informed me that she’s moving to Vancouver, and I live in stupid Thorold.. FML. But, if you ever meet a girl named Amy, who has blonde hair with blue and green streaks, and blue eyes.. You’ve met my best friend. Promise me you’ll look for her?

I was walking around, all depressed, and I just burst out singing/yelling(I have no idea what to classify that as..) “SHAKE YOUR BON BONS, SHAKE YOUR BON BONS!” in WalMart today. you make me happy. If I didn’t listen to you guys, and watch your videos, I think, life would suck, even more than it currently does.

I have to go now, my mom wants to see me. Have a good day/night. All my love,

Kali.

Dear Mike, I noticed Josh was getting all the letters, so I decided to send mine to you. Today sucked ass. I broke my favorite bracelet, my boyfriend broke up with me, and now I can’t sleep. Do you ever have days like that? probably not. I’ve been watching Trench videos to keep me sane, and currently, it’s sort of working. I’m not saying that my dad’s razor isn’t looking especially nice right now, because it is. But I don’t think you care. I am sick and tired of crying myself to sleep at night.. There’s always something to cry about, and usually nothing to smile about, except Marianas Trench, of course. The only source of joy I have. I’m going to stop throwing a pity party and pretending that you’re reading this/that you care. Goodnight. All my love, Kali.

when does the new album come out josh?
