Fell from the sky.. to the bottomless. The sky has banished me, I sinned. Maybe because I didn't shine as bright, or did I shine more than I should?

Anonymous asked:
Do you think we need darkness to truly appreciate the light?
Maybe. Some of the darkest periods of my life have helped me appreciate my happiest moments. When good things happen, I am grateful for them. When I meet kind, brilliant people, I do not take them for granted.
I think it’s a mentality to be developed and maintained, though. Often there is no reason or justification for trauma and suffering. When someone is going through darkness, it doesn’t help to say that one day they’ll look back on it as an opportunity to appreciate the light.

lately i’ve been so lonely and i’m scared that maybe i’ll be alone forever. i used to be okay with the thought of being alone, but as i get older i’m starting to realize i’m not as ok with it as i thought.
I understand, my love. I wish I could assuage your fears - promise that the person for you is on their way, that they’re just stuck in traffic - or that they missed a plane.
The truth is, no state of affairs is ever guaranteed. When you fall in love, there are instances when you think you’ll love them forever. And if those instances are prolonged, you are truly lucky. But circumstances change. Even if the love remains, timing, health, geography, misunderstanding, tragedy, can tear you apart. And that is even if the love remains.
When I say it like this: no love is guaranteed to last forever. You might be inclined to agree with me. But what if I turn this statement on its head, tell you that no loneliness is guaranteed to last forever either?
What if I say, even if the loneliness subsists, timing, health, geography, understanding, fortune, can bring you love? And that is even if, every so often, the loneliness persists.
What if I say, the odds of you being alone forever are the same as you finding one love for the rest of your life? Does that frighten you or bring you comfort?
I believe that as loneliness comes, so does love. There has to be some equivalence in this life.

“Cause i’m only a crack in this Castle of Glass, hardly anything left for you to see……”

“You can look at a song like ‘CASTLE OF GLASS,’ which for me, has one of the most interesting opposing points of view,” Chester Bennington said. “When Mike was talking about the lyrics, at one point he had said, ‘You know, it’s kind of like finding yourself as this broken part of this big machine, and feeling like you’re not part of that, or trying to find your place in the bigger scheme of things.’ And that can mean a solider coming home from war, and trying to fit back into society, or a person getting out of prison, or whatever.
“And here I am, envisioning this big, beautiful glass castle on a hill, and, like, unicorns. I’m thinking like 'Yeah, if you zoom in, I’m this little broken part of this castle that no one knows about, and I may seem like flawed and not important, but when you back up and look at the big picture, you’re part of this really beautiful thing that keeps you together,” he continued. “And it was a really interesting twist; I think a lot of our lyrics can be taken from multiple perspectives, depending on what you want the song to be about … they can be felt on so many different levels.”

“It’s haunting How I can’t seem To find myself again My walls are closing in Without a sense of confidence I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take I’ve felt this way before So insecure Crawling in my skin These wounds they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real”
