I was an adolescent in a very tumultuous situation when I discovered Creed. They were an anchor for me, something to keep me tied to this world when all I wanted to do was leave it. Creed and I have quite a history that merits more than a couple of paragraphs on a forum, but their influence will always be remembered no matter what happens with the band or its members. When I needed them, they were there, and that's the important part.
