Thank you for allowing yourself to get a little deep and vulnerable here; it is important to talk about, and as long as there is shame and taboo involved with seeking help, then work needs to be done to destigmatize it.
Strange to say, but Chester's passing, as painful as it still is, was also helpful to me.
I know deep in my bones that he would not put his wife, his precious children, his bandmates and his friends through the grief of losing him, for the sake of ending his own suffering. I'm certain that it was a moment of self-hatred, of a lack of self-esteem, that got him; a moment of thinking something like "I'm a burden to everyone around me, they deserve better than having to deal with me, I keep bringing misery, I should just do everyone a favour and die".
But Chester was so, so loved, and he is so deeply missed still. I loved him as much as you can parasocially love someone you've only met briefly, and I know deeply that he was a good man worthy of being loved. He certainly wasn't "perfect", but he had a great capacity for being kind, generous, uplifting and encouraging. His smile could light up a room, and his goofy humour was endearing. The music he helped make saved so many people.
If Chester Bennington could think those awful things about himself, and truly believe them, then how could those thoughts ever to trusted to reflect the truth? Todag I know they say nothing of your true worth, only of your self-worth.
If you haven't yet, I can't recommend their fourth album, A Thousand Suns, enough. I wasn't sold initially, but it has grown to be my favourite Linkin Park album, despite me holding Hybrid Theory and Meteora in really high regard. It's worth a listen from start to finish, and if you give yourself over a bit, it can really take you on a journey. Reaching the song "The Messenger" at the end after hearing the entire album is an experience.
Thank you again ❤
I’ve always advocated for mental health to be discussed in the normal discourse of life. We talk about physical health so openly and even have trillion dollar industries built around it.
Imagine if there were a Planet Fitness for mental health? $20 a month and pop in to a group or whatever at any time?
Imagine if you could talk openly here on UA-cam about mental health and not unaliving oneself (a whole word created to trick the algorithm in to not nuking a channel).
All these mental disorders… depression, narcissism, BPD, bipolar, etc should be freely discussed and not taboo at all. I’m a born people please and in the past it lead to two things: feelings of disappointing people and lying to people so I wouldn’t disappoint them. Neither of those actions are healthy and both make it REALLY hard to have a stable rational relationship. People need to feel comfortable to talk about these things (as I just did here!).
I feel like Chester put his feelings in to his music and was able to then hide from those very same feelings under the guise of “they’re just songs”. They aren’t though. The guy has been screaming for years about his pain and worth issues. 🥹🥲
I’ll check out A Thousand Suns. I likely know the radio singles but perhaps a jump in to the deeper cuts would be cathartic!
@@ReactionsThatRock I completely agree.
There needs to be more open, honest and nuanced information about mental health, so that people can be more likely to maintain good mental health, get help earlier when needed, and so that people don't have to grapple with both their illness/disorder/divergence and social stigma.
I hope you'll enjoy A Thousand Suns as much as I do. Even if you only like it half as well as I, you'll still have a good time ❤️
This song hurts my heart, just like One more light. I'm still not over the loss of one of the greatest voices of this century.
You're completely right, once you're a Linkin Park fan, you stay one. I've been one ever since Numb hit the radios and stayed throughout Thousand Suns and their "softer" and tech-heavy albums.
If someone doesn't like their newer directions and experiments, that's cool, but I will never understand why people had to hate on them so badly.
Hating on something is always the cool thing to do. Creed and Nickelback have insane album sales and are easily the easiest bands to trash.
As far as Linkin Park, I think people either didn’t like the two singers or electronic elements and trashed them from day 1… or they wanted EVERY song to be either One Step Closer or In the End and just couldn’t accept any other sound.
People are fickle creatures and hating something will always be popular in today’s “me-centric” society. 🥲
