I had no idea what I was doing. The only thing now that I believe to be certain is my love for music‚ and more specifically‚ Linkin Park.

Natasha April 18‚ 2013 “Numb” Rock/ alternative rock music usually portrays the idea of getting revenge or “getting back up.” This is a theme of being powerful‚ as shown in the song “Numb” by Linkin Park.
