I always loved linkin park’s work. Even though as I got older I didn’t stay that much up to date; but I remember when I was five years old, Meteroa came out and it was the biggest hit of that time. I remember I used to go to the local park and my mom would have the album playing on the way there and back. She even told me when my folks discovered that I could sing, she wanted me to learn how to sing “Somewhere I Belong”.

To anyone who reads this, please know that suicide, drugs or alcohol are not the answer to your problems. Your life may look a little dark right now and you maybe drowning in that darkness; but there’s always going to be someone willing to dive in to help you or a ladder to help you get back up. Before you take your next drink because you’re depressed, think about killing yourself or take your next dose of drugs, think about your family, friends and the people you love. Is it really worth it? Rest in Peace Chester Bennington.
