SHUT UP ABOUT CHESTER BENNINGTON
This is to all those ppl outside of the LPFamily who have nothing better to do with their lives than spewing out BS. And before you stop reading and call it a fan’s “drama”, know this: I can’t call myself a lp fan or soldier (The reason why that is, would take up another post and I’m not here to talk about it, not right now).
I’ve heard and seen enough and I’ve bloody well had it. It’s been a few weeks since Chester’s demise and I’ve seen all sorts of messed up comments.
From the beautiful consoling, loving ones to the downright appalling ones. “Well he was a public figure, he knew what he was getting into”.
NO THE FUCK HE DIDN’T. You wanna know why the feck not?! Because a man like chester would see kindness and love in everyone before he made out the grim darkness that is their soul.
I’M SO FLIPPING SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE CALLING HIM A “COWARD”; SAYING HE WAS JUST “SELFISH”.
NO HE WASN’T YOU DAMN BLOODSUCKERS!
All y’all calling him these names are the same ppl who think mental illnesses don’t exist and tell the anxious and depressed to “don’t worry” and “just be happy”.
Well thanks for that invaluable “advice”, that is completely unheard of, in the history of mankind.
You don’t know what it’s like man. When it hits you, everything and everyone you’ve ever loved is taken away from you in your mind and morphed into something that you’ve ruined, something that you’ve caused damage and pain to, something that would be better off without your burden on it, because that’s all you do to them. In your mind, in that moment, those beautiful things, those phenomenal people don’t deserve to be “miserable” and “suffer” like they do, because of you. In that moment, ensuring that they never have to go through that pain, that misery again, is the most selfless thing you can do for the people that you love with every fibre of your being.
YES I know that doesn’t make any sense. I know that it’s not true. I know that it’s all in a person’s head. That’s what we’ve been trying to tell you. THAT is why it is called a bloody DISEASE. No one in their right, stable mind would want to leave the love of their life behind, or the children that made life worth living; if not for nothing, then simply due to gratitude and love. Chester wore his heart on his sleeve, he shared and was the most open about his struggles more than any other person i’ve ever met or known of. He explained it so many times so people would undertsand what it’s like, and yet, when it finally took him away, y’all dimwits chose to forget everything that he’s done for mental health and reduced him to a “selfish, sad” person.
Some of the ppl out there are of the idea that he was killed, that he didn’t commit suicide. You know what, maybe you’re right. Maybe that’s what happened. I hope and pray from my heart that that wasn’t the reality, but one isn’t better than the other. But don’t you see, whatever you believe regarding his death. know this: HE DIDN’T KILL HIMSELF. HE WAS TAKEN AWAY; either by the disease or by someone else. But he didn’t choose to leave his family behind. He didn’t choose to leave his friends, his brothers, behind. He didn’t choose to break millions of hearts around the globe. He didn’t do any of that. HE WANTED TO STAY. HE WANTED TO LOVE. HE WANTED TO SPREAD KINDNESS. HE WANTED TO FIGHT.
And now his wife, Talinda, his fans are doing it. They’re helping, they’re healing, they’re building each other up, and you continue to try and tear them down in this difficult time, honestly how can you do that?
If you’re wondering how in the hell would I know that?
Then it’s because, that’s exactly what he did for many many years.
He was one of the strongest, kindest, most caring people I’ve ever seen. He was a friend. He was a brother. He was a husband. He loved with all his heart. He was a ray of light in times of darkness for so many. He was a warrior.
He was a soldier.
And for what he was, Chester Bennington would forever have the deepest, unrivaled love and respect of millions for a long long time.
