Re: Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Dead at 41
What can we take from his death? So it isn't in vain?
I'm seeing a lot of posts about people who suffer depression to reach out. Sometimes though, it's with sad news like this, that we realize in hindsight, those subtle cues and instances that now make sense were just that- reaching out. The problem today is that nobody wants to hear it. There's this unspoken rule that we can only project happy. It's not easy to reach out through the mask. So my message to anyone who cares, is to listen. To look past the outer layer of people and see what's really there. Listen to hear not only the words people say, but where it's coming from. Someone you love may be reaching out the best way they can, and nobody is listening.
