Rest in peace, Chester Bennington.

I was not a diehard fan, but I enjoy their music. And I freaking love his voice. Especially when he screamed.

Reading about celebrities committing suicide because of depression is kinda weird. Honestly, I'm not sure if I sympatize these people. I wouldn't think it's a selfish act either. This is probably because I have nobody close to me being in this situation. I, of course, don't know how it feels to be having the thoughts of ending your own life for the pain to stop. I don't know how difficult it is to ignore those thoughts. I can't imagine myself thinking of killing myself although I often wish I could disappear from this world. Is this a bad thing? I'd like to think that this is a good thing. At least, I don't have to argue with idiots who says depression doesn't exist and it certainly won't make someone kill themselves.

Depression. I've said this before. I don't like to use this term as I like. I get stressed out, extremely sad sometimes, but I won't call it depression. I used to be in a really bad situation that I refused to eat, I only lay on my bed crying, thinking about how much I hate everyone and myself. It did get better. But it also made me become more sensitive. I get sad even easier. Especially when I was around my parents. This probably happened because I kept focusing on the sad things. Nowadays I don't get sad anymore. I mean, it's not as frequent as before. I believe it is because I don't focus on the sad part anymore. It is true, only you, have the power of controlling your thoughts. If you choose to think about all the bad things happen in your life, then you'll get sad. If you don't, you won't. You'll even forget that those things even exist. I think that's what everyone said about the "evil thoughts". You need to stop focusing on it.

They say talk to people. Get help. I don't know. Everyone is different. One person's way of dealing does not equal everyone else's. Maybe, even if one already telling other people their problems, already meeting therapist, maybe sometimes the power is still themselves. Only when they remove those thoughts that they are safe. Who knows?

Disclaimer: You don't have to agree with me. I don't know much about depression or suicide. This is just how I feel about it.
