Who really knows themselves that well?

Am I really who I say I am? Do I really know myself that well, that I say it with so much confidence? Am I happy? Do I suffer? Do I belong? Do I anxiously wait for what's to come? Am I lonely? Do I feel alone? Do I feel oppressed? Do I feel supported? Do I feel safe? Am I in peace with myself and others? These are some of the questions we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives. However, do we always get a satisfying answer?

I've been listening to a band for the past decade that goes by the name Linkin Park. My favorite album of theirs is Hybrid Theory. Why? I can't give you a certain answer to why, but I can tell you this, when you get to a point in your life and ask yourself all the questions that were written previously, Hybrid  Theory is somewhat an answer to oneself. The songs in this album helped me as well as other people to realize that you are not alone, others have felt the way that you have. Others have been in your shoes from before. We all get to this point in our lives, the difference is, how do you choose to deal with it.

You might dislike this type of music, you might like it, you even might have never been in any sort of situation that will make you want to listen to this album. We're all different and unique in our own ways, but sometimes, just sometimes, we might go through the same sorrows. At the end of the day, we are all humans, we change our minds, feelings, and attitudes the way we like. However, the way we choose to show others who we are is what we control, yet not what's within.

This album has helped me realize the reality we live in. Therefore, in conclusion, I will ask you this, are you comfortable in your own skin? Do you really know who you are inside out?
