Linkin Park, meteora

As a teen I was difficult to deal with, rebelling with/ without cause. It was around the time I heard ‘somewhere I belong’ expressing everything I couldn't communicate. It gave much needed sense of belonging anyone my age (that time) searched for and since then ‘Meteora’ is never off the playlist.  
I have religiously followed this band (Linkin Park) the first music ever to fall in love with, wish he knew what an impact he had in my life growing up, I spend hours under the pillow screaming songs, they told me I wasn’t the only one. It was heartbreaking to hear news on Chester, to find out about the hero who got me through so much was no more. His departure felt like a personal loss.

‘In the heaven’ (also what Meteora means) is the series of photographs inspired by the names of songs I have cherished by Cheester Bennington the most over the years from the album ‘Meteora’ I short it to honor the fallen hero who was taken away
1: Numb.
Please note: If you are suffering, in pain with no one to speak to do not take steps that change your and everyone’s life around forever. Consult a doctor, don’t be afraid, reach out. And if you happen to know anyone who’s laughter is fading and smiles are drying, take is seriously, speak it might not amuse you but you don’t know what difference it can make to them. Seek help, Be the help.

5: Somewhere I belong
This is where I think he is, happy, smiling above the blue sky, free from all the pain carried for so long. .
It's unfair and heartbreaking to live in a world where silence is the loudest scream that goes unnoticed. It's not suicide, it's a war against depression often lost. Its not easy to wake up and be OK but that does not mean you give up, keep swimming, there is shore somewhere and it's beautiful. Tell your story, you don't know what impact it might hold to others. Hear them you'll see a change.
