I have been playing She by Laura Mvula on repeat since yesterday. It’s like I have my own personal choir who understands all I am going through, and is cheering me on with a wonderful song.

A man named Chester Bennington killed himself yesterday and my heart is hurting. I didn’t know him but he was a singer for a group named Linkin Park. Apparently, he helped a lot of people through the darkest times​ of their lives with his music.

In death, there is no pain, only endless darkness. It is the kind of darkness you can’t hate or love or be scared of, because you are not even aware of it. It is perfect. I understand, Chester. Enjoy.
