Okay so I'm sure you all have heard about Chester Bennington, and I want to give you all what I took away from it.

~

I may or may not have said this before, but I've battled depression. Right now, I'm okay, but about 5 years ago, I had it bad. I dealt with bullying, and I didn't feel like there was a way out. My only escape was music, and as predictable as it may be, that music was that of Chester Bennington and Linkin Park.

Their influence may well have saved my life. I just wish someone could've helped Chester Bennington like he helped me and many many others. I was devastated when I heard the news. I cried. A lot. Yeah, obviously I had never met him, but he had as big of an impact on my life as some people actively in it. His music would always bring a smile to my face after a bad day, and it still does.

I want to have that kind of impact on people. I want to help. I've been through some shit in my life. Shoot, you guys know I just got out of an abusive relationship and I've fought depression. I've been through some of the stuff that others are afraid to open up about.

If any of you guys are having suicidal thoughts or even just need someone to talk to when you're down, my inbox is always open, and I WILL respond, I promise. I don't want any of you guys to end up like Chester Bennington, I love all of you.

Please, don't break my heart.
