Chester Bennington

For those who don’t know who Chester Bennington was, he was the lead vocalist of Linkin Park. He recently committed suicide after losing a battle with his demons. 

Ever since this tragedy, it has taken a pretty big toll on me. Not many people take depression seriously & it’s scary. I, myself, suffer from depression & it is so hard. Some days are just too hard to handle. 

I loved Linkin Park. More importantly, I loved Chester. His music spoke to me as well as others. Each lyric ran through my veins because I felt him. I felt his pain. I felt his fear. I felt how much he was hurting. He cried for help & no one listened. I recently watched him in an interview going in depth about his depression.

I bought tickets to see Linkin Park for their One More Light tour literally the day before his suicide. It’s heartbreaking. 

I’m writing this as a form of suicide awareness. Somewhere, someone is not okay. Be kind always because you never ever know what someone is going through or what they are battling.
