I was completely broken by the news. Not only was Linkin Park my favourite band by a landslide as I grew up, it almost became part of my identity. Or at least giving me so many good memories.

People often forget that time is the ultimate healer. Things always change. That’s the nature of reality itself. Not everything remains the same. After a dark night, the day is sure to come.

This sums it up very well I think. I know I've felt completely down many times. But most of these experience I don't even remember. They are gone. The mind is an interesting thing, for better and for worse. It can subject you to complete misery, and then proceed as if it never happened.

I hope we all manage to keep that in mind whenever we feel down. That nothing is permanent in this world, and that change always happens if we choose so.
