Linkin Park

 In my humble opinion, one of the most influential bands of not only my generation, but of all time is Linkin Park.

Although they were formed back in 1996 under a different name. Linkin Park did not release an album under their  new name until 2000 with their debut album called  Hybrid Theory, heck it has been over 20 years since its debut.

And to they came out with a bang is putting it mildly. The album was certified gold within weeks of its launch and eventually found its way to 12x Platinum by 2020.

It is no surprise because of all the amazing songs that were on that album. Songs like, One Step Closer, Crawling, In the End, Papercut, just to name a few.

What of the things that I love about Linkin Park was their mixture of rap and rock sound. I grew up listening to rap groups and rock bands so hearing it mixed together was amazing.

Personally though, the lyrics by Chester Bennington had a major impact on my life. Listening to lyrics and hearing the voice of Chester singing still hits my soul even to this very day.

Heck hearing what he went through in his life and seeing him use his gifts as a way to help touch so many people's lives is truly a beautiful sight to be hold.

I really enjoy listening to the song Breaking the Habit, it has always spoken to me and video itself was incredible. Somewhere I Belong was another incredible song that I really enjoyed.

It still it a painful loss when I saw that Chester had killed himself. In fact, I can't believe it has been over five years since we lost both Chester and Chris Cornell (RIP). As someone who deals with mental health, it was heartbreaking to see what happened to them. 

I can not speak on what made them feel this way, but all we can do is pray and support their love ones who are affected by this.

With that being said, to anyone out there who are struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, please seek out help and know that you are not alone and that you are loved and that there are people who are willing to support you in anything you do in life.

I also want to send a prayer to the other members of Linkin Park. I pray nothing but the best for you guys and wish all the luck with whatever you do in your lives.

Thank you so much Linkin Park for helping me and countless others were struggling with their lives. Again I pray for all you guys and for anyone who is struggling with depression and suicidal thought.

There is always hope!

God Bless and Be Safe!

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting

Is It Worth It To Keep Fighting?

 You know the thing I hate the most about dealing with depression and just mental health in general is the simple fact that I know that there are so many people in this world you is dealing with struggles in their lives. And I keep telling myself to stay humble and be grateful for everything I have in this world and that things can always be worse, but, I ultimately just end up hating myself. I wish I was stronger, I really do because I feel embarrassed about feeling this way. I hate it! I really, really hate dealing with this crap in my head! I mean, there are people dealing with cancer and other diseases, people who are struggling with addiction, you know we all got problems. So I do apologize I am honestly not trying to make this about me because I ain't anything special and most likely never will be. I'm just so frustrated about life and just trying to find meaning in anything really. My whole life I have tried my best to prove that I can do something with myself and overco
