Твои мысли тебя убивают, не так ли?

Chester Bennington committed suicide and I need to scream into the void about how important he, and Linkin Park, was to me in my formative years. I still listen to Linkin Park; I never grew out of my love and appreciation for them. It always hurts to lose a hero but to lose them to suicide is a special kind of sting.

No matter what…I don’t blame him and I cannot be angry. I know it’s hard.

So many of us are heartbroken but the best we can do right now is rally around his bandmates, friends, and family and look out for each other.

[…] she wished to regain possession of herself. There was a certain irony in the term, for there was nothing to regain, much less herself. She had come across the idea too often in too many novels.Here, there was the wind that snatched up and dropped everything, the delights of a wood fire in the evening, of all the earth’s scents and smells and solitude.

Françoise Sagan, from Wonderful Clouds (Penguin, 1965)

Art reminds us. That our plans are meaningless. That help is not on the way. That our children can die in our lifetimes. But I have to say, though his song subject is (as usual) darker than dark, Nick Cave acts here not as a harbinger of doom but of the lightest, noblest message an artist can deliver to us: that the choice to make art is, indeed, an act of blistering revenge against the nonsensical, cold unfairness of this world. Tragedy strikes. We can close down, or we can keep working on finding a frame in which to house all of this confusion. A black frame, or a white one … any frame at all. We have a choice.

27. “I Need You” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

“Most of us don’t want to change. Really. I mean, why should we? What we do want is sort of modifications on the original model. We keep on being ourselves, but just hopefully better versions of ourselves. But what happens when an event occurs that is so catastrophic…that you just change? You change from the known person to an unknown person. So that when you look at yourself in the mirror…do you recognize the person that you were, but the person inside the skin is a different person?”
