It's been about five minutes since I read the news and the truth is yet to be accepted.
It's with a very heavy heart that I have to admit to myself that Chester of the band Linkin Park has passed away. This means a lot to me because their song Numb saved me when I was down.
I heard their song years ago, the song, the video, touched a cord with me and slowly and steadily, it took over me. I may not have been a full-fledged fan but I have a lot of respect for the band and their songs spoke volumes.
I have read that he struggled with depression, alcoholism but he tried his best as the whole band does and that motivates you.
When Alan Rickman passed away, I thought my childhood died with him and with Robin Williams but I think it is that with Chester's death, along with the other two, my childhood has truly died.
It's not that I will never laugh again or smile but the impact they had was beautiful. I laughed, I cried and I tried to get up everytime but now, at least in this moment, it feels harder.
Sorry, I didn't mean to go on like this but please let me have this moment.
