On July 20, 2017 someone that many people cared about decided to take their own life. That person is Chester Bennington.

For those of you reading this who have no idea who in the world this man is, he is the front man for a very popular "emo" band called Linkin Park. Here are a few pictures of him.

He was love and looked up to by many. He was an inspiration to many people and it breaks my heart to know that he won't be able to see that anymore. He was so talented and it was too early for him to go.

I am not even that familiar with this band but I felt so sad to know that he is gone just like that. I have heard their music and I have a sister who did listen to them from time to time but this was all too sudden.

He was a husband and father, so to not know how this must impact that family hurts so much.

What upsets me so much is not the fact that he died, it is the fact that this 41 year old icon took his own life.

I do not like the term "committed suicide" because it sounds like a crime. Like they should be punished instead of helped. But saying they should be helped sounds like they are insane.

All of my prayers got out to his family and the band and his friends who cared so deeply for him. This should not have been the way he should have gone but it was. And there is nothing we could have done.

It makes me crazy how I only found out about this a few hours ago 4 DAYS after it happened.

Like Brendon Urie once sang "Legend never die." And he will live on in our minds and hearts.

I was looking forward to their new music in the future too. It is such a shame the world would never be able to hear such a talented voice live again.

This was pretty dark and serious and I like to keep things light, happy, and funny but I just feel like this needed to be adressed. I feel as if we take these amazing people for granted and they could be gone at an instant when we least expect it.

Please, if you ever think about doing something like that, tell someone. Anyone. You matter.

You have people who think you are the world to them

You have people who think you are the world to them. And they would be devastated if you were gone. It gets better and if someone ended their life, they wouldn't be able to see that happen.

It is currently 2:40 AM and I could not fall asleep without writing this.
