Chester ... He was such a great inspiration. I used to suffer from depression as a child and I used to turn to music for comfort. And the best was Linkin Park. Every single line had meaning and inspired me a great deal. And with Chester and Mike's voices calming me I would look forward towards another new day.
I was just listening to "Heavy" the other night and thinking how the words match with my life so perfectly. I never had the idea that he was facing such troubles himself. His words always helped me move on from all the hardships. And when I got to know about him I felt so heartbroken. It's like my favorite hero was gone.
I woke up today morning and learnt that Chester has committed suicide, and the whole day I've been thinking why!!!!! Why someone who wrote such inspiring songs, who sang them and sent chills through millions of people, why a person like that would give up on his own life like this!! Why!!
Well I really don't know anything about his personal life and I don't know what made him do this. But this is unacceptable for me. I lost a hope, an inspiration, a hero, a great singer and a great person like a lot of people out there. All that I can say that "You'll be missed Chester.. You'll be missed like crazy."
I still can't believe that I won't be hearing his voice anymore, his songs anymore.
Chester.. I'll miss you. A lot..... May your soul rest in peace.
