I write something like this every year. In all honesty it's hard for me to talk about Chester. I think about him every single day. It's now been six years without him, and it still doesn't feel real that he's gone. I still don't know how to cope with it. I still can't think about him for too long without crying.

Chester has been such an important figure in my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised on Linkin Park. They will forever be one of my favorite bands even if some songs are too painful to listen to now. My own mental health journey has been difficult. I'd be lying if I claimed to be doing totally fine, but I live each day trying to honor Chester's memory and make him proud. He's a big part of the reason I am who I am, and he's a big part of the reason that I'm still here today.

If you see this, please give someone you love a hug. Tell them you care about them. Cherish the moments you have with the people that matter. Listen to your favorite artist and keep them in your mind for a while. Do something nice for yourself. We all owe it to ourselves to allow some kindness in our lives. In words that Chester once sang, "when life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind".

...For what's been missing right here ❤

It's been 5 years already, still unable to process it, still unable to forget. Time can't be stopped, but neither can your powerful voice. I miss you so so much, love you Chaz ❤

ive thought about writing this post every year since chester passed, and im still not even sure if im ready to write it as eloquently as i want to. i remember exactly where i was when he passed, i read the news on twitter in the parking lot of the cvs by my house and i broke down. i was already at rock bottom in my own life and i wanted to die myself bc i was hopped up on painkillers from a surgery i had gotten the month prior. and in some weird twisted way, the news of his passing shocked me back into reality and i had a "what am i doing?" moment with the depression/suicidal thoughts symptoms of the painkillers. he saved my life. their music saved my life. i wish he could still be here and i could have gotten out of that time without losing him too, but one more light really brought me out of that dark dark place where i was waking up by realizing i was involuntarily crying and i didnt even know it while i was sleeping. it was a friend when i had no one in my life and i felt so completely and utterly alone. chester and linkin park were friends for me during that time when i had no one else. i don't think i listened to them more in my life before that summer (and that's saying something, because they were a massive part of my growing up). i only wish chester could have been here and made it out of 2017 with me/us as a community. i still cant really listen to one more light (the song) without breaking down, it's a tough listen for me most days, but i've found myself more capable of coming back to the rest of the album these days in hindsight. i was thinking about him last night and then the realization that today was going to be SIX years hit and it took me out. chester, i miss you so much. thank you for saving my life and bringing me out of my lowest moment. i wish i could say this better and in prettier terms, but at least i can get the thought out for the first time in six years, and that's something. but god, how i wish you were here every day.

make chester proud ♥️

I've been missing him a lot lately, with Meteora20 and the Hybrid Theory PT (an awesome Portuguese tribute band) show, so I made this to make myself feel better.

Rock in Rio 2008 was where I learned to love concerts. Chester didn't have an easy life (understatement of the century) but he didn't become a bitter, misanthropic person. On the contrary, he was kind and so freaking goofy and, of course, an amazing musician. He and the rest of Linkin Park made me who I am both as a music fan and as a human being. Chester will always be a part of me.

Make Chester proud and all that good stuff!
